Week 14 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 14, the quarterback position was littered with surprises. Drew Brees dropped over 40 fantasy points on a 49ers Defense that's given up the second-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks on the season and Jameis Winston hung 456 yards and 5 touchdowns on a Colts Defense that's been solid against the pass all year. Mitch […]

Tyrell Williams Disappoints Versus Titans

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams failed to do much on his four targets as the Titans rolled to a 42-21 Week 14 victory on Sunday. He hauled in three catches for 35 yards as he's now been held to under 50 yards in five of his last six contests. With Derek Carr failing to […]

Darren Waller Paces Offense With 73 Yards

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller picked up a team-high 73 receiving yards as the team fell 42-21 to the Titans in Week 14.

Deandre Washington Hits Paydirt As A Starting Fill-In

Oakland Raiders running back Deandre Washington wasn't as explosive as Josh Jacobs in Week 14, but he did a respectable job in the rookie's absence.

Derek Carr Stalls In Second Half In Week 14 Loss

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr completed 25 of 34 passes for 263 yards versus the Titans on Sunday, but it wasn't nearly enough to lead the team to victory. He threw for two touchdowns in the first half as the teams went to half time tied 21-21, but failed to find the end zone again […]

Darren Waller In A Favorable Week 14 Matchup
