Ameer Abdullah Has Another Big Fantasy Day

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah got a bigger role due to the injury to RB Sincere McCormick (ankle) in his team's loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15. He carried the ball three times for just eight yards, but his seven catches on seven targets for 58 yards and a touchdown helped […]

Alexander Mattison Inefficient, Loses Crucial Fumble In Relief Effort

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison showed the world why he was benched for Sincere McCormick (ankle) by fumbling the ball into the end zone in his team's Week 15 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The opposing defense wasn't able to recover the loose ball, but it still counted for a safety. Mattison ended […]

Tre Tucker Unproductive In Week 15 Loss

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker caught two of his three targets for 18 yards and didn't record a rush in his team's loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15. He's becoming an afterthought in this offense, though the offense was mostly an afterthought anyway overall. Without QB Aidan O'Connell (knee) leading the […]

Raiders D/ST Latest Beneficiary Of Falcons Ineptitude In Week 15

Somehow, despite being loaded with talent, the Atlanta Falcons offense continues to underwhelm lately, and the Las Vegas Raiders defense/special teams benefitted from that by scoring nine fantasy points on Monday. They sacked quarterback Kirk Cousins three times, intercepted him once, and allowed just 13 points and 261 total yards of offense in a loss. […]

Daniel Carlson Makes One Long Field Goal, Has Extra Point Blocked In Week 15

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson nailed a 52-yard field goal with 11:44 left in the second quarter in his team's loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15. He didn't get another chance to kick until an extra point attempt late in the fourth quarter, but that try was blocked. That's not 100% his […]

Jakobi Meyers Catches Five Passes In Loss

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers simply wasn't thrown the ball enough by quarterback Desmond Ridder in the team's 15-9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. Though Meyers ended up with nine targets, Ridder took too long to start getting the ball into one of his best playmaker's hands. Meyers is a […]

Desmond Ridder Struggles In Week 15 Loss

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Desmond Ridder attempted 39 passes and completed 23 throws for 208 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in Monday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Unsurprisingly, he didn't throw his first TD pass until the game was nearly out of reach -- it happened with under three minutes left in the fourth […]

Brock Bowers Has Pedestrian Night In Week 15

Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers was targeted just six times and caught three passes for 35 yards in the Monday night loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Quarterback Desmond Ridder, who was starting in place of the injured Aidan O'Connell (knee), simply did not look the rookie sensation's way many times. Ridder has […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford will take over as the team's lead back for the remainder of the season after RB Nick Chubb (foot) broke his foot in Week 15, ending his 2024 campaign.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (groin) is dealing with a groin issue and is in danger of missing his team's Week 16 matchup.

Should I Pickup Jerome Ford or Kendre Miller? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

There's a solid group of running backs available for waiver wire claims heading into Week 16, which isn't something we're accustomed to seeing, generally. Usually, backfield situations are mostly worked out by now, but par with the course for the NFL, injuries can always shake things up. There are suddenly very interesting waiver wire options […]

Should I Pickup Tyjae Spears or Tank Bigsby? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

The running back position is quite scarce in fantasy football, and due to injuries to star RBs like David Montgomery (knee) and Alvin Kamara (groin), teams advancing in the playoffs may already be looking for replacements. There could also be managers who need more depth at the position, just in case. Tennessee Titans running back […]

What Time is Monday Night Football? Week 15 NFL Schedule

Monday Night Football wraps up every week of NFL action, and this week, we have another double-header. These games are important -- this late in the season, many matchups have serious playoff implications, so there's still plenty of reason to watch the contests that remain. We're lucky enough to have a divisional matchup coming up […]

Alexander Mattison Will Serve As The Backup, Not Worth Starting In Fantasy

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) practiced fully three days in a row leading up to his team's Week 15 game against the Atlanta Falcons. He will be the backup to lead RB Sincere McCormick, so he's probably not worth starting. He's averaged just 3.3 yards per carry so far this year, and […]

Daniel Carlson A Deep-League Option In Week 15

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson made two short field goals and an extra point attempt in Week 14 after a terrible day in Week 13 that saw him miss three long field goals. He's an accurate kicker below those long distances, but the misses lower his value ahead of a Week 15 matchup with […]

Raiders D/ST Not Worth Starting Without Maxx Crosby

The Las Vegas Raiders D/ST is not worth starting in Week 15, nor have they been all season. They're the No. 31 rated defense on Sleeper, and outside of extremely deep or exotic leagues, there's no reason to put them in starting lineups for Monday, when they face the Atlanta Falcons. There are better options […]

Sincere McCormick Will Be The Guy In The Raiders Backfield This Week

Las Vegas Raiders running back Sincere McCormick, who took the starting job from RB Alexander Mattison (ankle), who took Zamir White's (quad) starting job, who took over for Josh Jacobs, who left for greener fields (literally), is the guy you want to start in Week 15. McCormick. He's the guy. He's a lot more explosive […]

Tre Tucker A Flex Option In Very Deep Leagues For Week 15

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker logged just seven receiving yards on two receptions in Week 14. His usage wasn't horrible, as he was targeted five times, but he's struggled with consistency all season. With starting quarterback Aidan O'Connell (knee) questionable for Monday's game, it's hard to see that changing in a big way. […]

Jakobi Meyers A Solid WR2 Despite Quarterback Uncertainty In Week 15

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers logged a full practice on Saturday as expected, and he carries no injury designation heading into Monday night's game with the Atlanta Falcons. He's been managing an ankle issue with plenty of rest throughout the weekdays, so this ailment is of minimal concern. He'll face an Atlanta defense […]

Brock Bowers Should Be Started No Matter Who Plays At QB For Raiders

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is set to continue his historic season when his team takes on the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15. It's the first round of the fantasy playoffs for most leagues, and there's no one better to put in your TE spot than the rookie sensation. He's logged a ridiculous […]

Nothing beats having a solid team, going on a nice winning streak early in the season, feeling like you're in good shape to make a run in the playoffs, and then having your team decimated by injury.

It can also be difficult to know whether players […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 15? Bucky Irving, Rachaad White, James Conner

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Arizona Cardinals combined have a trio of productive running backs heading into Week 15 of the NFL season. It's the first round of the fantasy playoffs for many leagues, so fantasy managers who have backs from either of these teams on their rosters understandably are questioning who to start and […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 15? Tank Dell, Josh Downs, Quentin Johnston

Here at RotoBaller, we love receivers who have good games seemingly randomly. It's awesome rostering players and having no idea when they'll have good games or when they'll drop absolute duds that can lose you your weeks. There's no better time to have them than in the fantasy playoffs! That was sarcastic, but you can […]

When Will Marquise Brown Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 15 (2024)

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (shoulder) hasn't played a single game this season due to a shoulder injury he suffered in the preseason.
