Raiders Want Bigger Role For Josh Jacobs In Passing Attack

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said on Monday that he wants to get running back Josh Jacobs "more involved" in the team's passing attack. The first-round rookie has dominated the backfield in carries, getting nearly 75% of the workload, but has just one catch on three targets through three games. Jacobs sits on the […]

Jalen Richard Receives More Playing Time In Week 3

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard was on the field for a season-high 29 snaps in the team's Week 3 loss to the Vikings. It helped that Josh Jacobs was dealing with an illness and a hip injury earlier this week, not to mention the team trailed by three scores for most of the game. […]

Derek Carr Unimpressive In Week 3 Loss

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr threw for 242 yards and a touchdown in the team's 34-14 loss to the Vikings Sunday. He also threw one ugly interception, but he managed to save face with a 75-yard touchdown drive in the final two minutes of garbage time. Carr's 27-for-34 completion rate (79.4%) was decent, but his […]

J.J. Nelson Hauls In Touchdown In Loss

Oakland Raiders wide receiver J.J. Nelson had a nice welcome back game after dealing with an ankle injury throughout the first few weeks of the season. He hauled in a 29-yard touchdown in the second quarter on a flea-flicker from quarterback Derek Carr, finishing the day with four catches for 36 yards. Nelson is a […]

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller dominated targets once again in the team's Week 3 loss to the Vikings.

Tyrell Williams Salvages Day With Late Touchdown

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams failed to make an impact against a tough Vikings Defense for the majority of the team's Week 3 contest, but his late-game TD saved his fantasy day.

Hunter Renfrow Looking To Keep Progressing

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow has made a mark in the team's offense, leading the team with eight targets in Week 2. He'll look to follow that up this week as the squad travels to Minnesota to take on the Vikings in a game that will likely force more pass attempts from Derek Carr. […]

Jalen Richard Searching For More Touches

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard is firmly planted as a distant backup to Josh Jacobs this season after dominating touches for the offense in 2018. He's picked up just five touches through two games so far for a total of eight measly yards after leading the team with 68 receptions a year ago. Richard […]

Derek Carr Off The Starting QB Radar

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr failed to capitalize in a juicy Week 2 matchup, making him difficult to trust with a grimmer task ahead in Week 3. The team will travel to take on a stout Vikings Defense who finished third-best in 2018 giving up 196 passing YPG. Carr has looked more comfortable overall in […]

Darren Waller A Low-End TE1 In Week 3

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller has displayed a positive chemistry between himself and quarterback Derek Carr, and it should only grow stronger throughout the season. He currently leads the team with 13 catches and 15 targets through two games while showing a slick pair of hands and a dynamic athletic ability. With the Raiders […]

J.J. Nelson Still Limited At Practice

Oakland Raiders wide receiver J.J. Nelson got in a limited session at Wednesday's practice as he still recovers from an ankle injury.

Josh Jacobs Limited Wednesday

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs got in a limited practice Wednesday after dealing with a groin issue following Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The fact that the rookie participated early in the week is a good sign, and owners should be confident that he suits up for Week 3 barring any setbacks. Jacobs has […]

Hunter Renfrow Leads Team In Targets

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow saw a team-high eight targets versus the Chiefs in Week 2 as he continues to build more chemistry with quarterback Derek Carr. He was only able to haul in four of these balls for 30 scoreless yards, but his growing involvement in the passing game is encouraging. Renfrow is […]

Derek Carr Inconsistent In Week 2

Jalen Richard Could See Increased Workload

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard didn’t see the field much in Week 1, but should find more opportunities in Sunday’s contest versus the Chiefs. With the Raiders likely playing from behind, the offense will be in pass-mode for most of the game. Richard finished the 2018 campaign tied for the team lead with 68 […]

Darren Waller A TE1 In Juicy Matchup

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller impressed in the team's regular season debut on Monday and is in a terrific spot to keep it going in Week 2. He lived up to his preseason hype by hauling in seven receptions on a team-high eight targets versus the Broncos on Monday, and he'll certainly prove to […]

Tyrell Williams Primed For Encore Performance

Derek Carr A Viable Week 2 Streamer

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has a juicy matchup versus the susceptible Chiefs Defense in Week 2, making him a viable streamer and DFS option this week. Carr is coming off a stellar game where he connected on 22-of-26 passes for 259 yards and a touchdown versus a stout Denver defense. Kansas City gave up […]

J.J. Nelson Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Oakland Raiders wide receiver J.J. Nelson did not participate in the team's practice on Wednesday. He's still recovering from a sprained ankle from Week 2 in the preseason that resulted in him seeing only eight snaps in the regular season opener on Monday. Nelson is WR2 on the team's depth chart, but he won't be […]

Jonathan Abram's Pending Surgery Downgrades Raiders Defense

The Oakland Raiders Defense will take a significant blow when rookie safety Jonathan Abram goes under the knife to repair his shoulder. The first-round pick out of Mississippi State tore his rotator cuff and labrum in the first quarter versus the Broncos Monday night, but managed to play through the game.
