Tyrell Williams A WR4 Versus Titans

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams is coming off his worst game of the season (1/9/0), and his Week 14 matchup doesn't appear that encouraging either. The Titans have allowed the sixth-most passing yards in the league (260.1 YPG), but have kept opposing WRs out of the end zone in five of their last seven […]

Derek Carr Not A Viable Week 14 Option

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is coming off back-to-back underwhelming performances as the Tennessee Titans come to town for a pivotal matchup this weekend. With both teams in the hunt for a Wild Card spot, the Raiders will need Carr to improve on his recent play with Josh Jacobs questionable for this Sunday. The Titans […]

Josh Jacobs Not Practicing Thursday

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) wasn't seen at the start of practice on Thursday.

Despite his injured shoulder, Jacobs has remained productive in his […]

Josh Jacobs Playing Through Fractured Shoulder

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) revealed on his social media this week that he's been playing through a fractured right shoulder since getting hurt against the Packers in Week 7.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Consider this a stash and just an option in super deep leagues in which you have either the room to risk rostering a non-playing WR or are so needy of players that you must go all-in with risky gambles. That being said, Hunter […]

Tyrell Williams Does Next To Nothing In Week 13

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams had his worst game of the season in Week 13 as the team got steamrolled by the Chiefs 40-9. He caught one pass for a measly nine yards, which came on the final drive of the game. Williams did finish second on the team with four targets as the […]

Darren Waller Reaches 100 Yards In Garbage Time

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller benefited from the team playing from behind for most of the game as he caught a team-high seven receptions for 100 yards. It was the first time the 26-year-old reached triple-digit yards since Week 7, which was also the last time he caught more than five passes. Waller was […]

Derek Carr Has Tough Day At The Office

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr flopped for the second straight week in the team's 38-9 blowout loss to the Chiefs. He completed 20 of 30 passes for 222 yards and a touchdown while throwing two interceptions, one of which was returned to the house. It was the second time this season Carr threw multiple picks, […]

Josh Jacobs Runs For 100 Yards In Blowout Loss

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs picked up his fifth 100-yard game of the season in the team's blowout loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. The rookie did his part with helping the offense as he totaled 104 yards on 17 carries (6.1 YPC), but was disappointingly held without a catch. Jacobs ceded passing work […]

Hunter Renfrow Out Against Chiefs

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (rib) is inactive for Week 13 against the Chiefs. The 23-year-old was injured last Sunday against the Jets. He has 36 catches for 396 yards and two scores on the season, but it's impossible to trust any Oakland receiver outside of tight end Darren Waller and wideout Tyrell Williams, […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 13) - Targets and Avoids
