Matchups We Love

Raiders WRs

The Davante Adams shoulder injury seems to have sapped some of his production. It's also possible that Bill Belichick schemed up a defensive plan to shut him down as he so often does. In either case, it's opened the door for Jakobi Meyers, who looks like an excellent signing for the Raiders. Jimmy Garoppolo was taken to hospital for a back injury. This time they handed the reigns to Brian Hoyer, who is a competent veteran backup. I'd expect him to get the nod. The matchup is fantastic, locking both these receivers into your lineup, especially with injuries and bye weeks.

UPDATE: As expected, Garoppolo is out and Hoyer will get the start.

Josh Jacobs (RB, LV)

As anticipated, Jacobs had a tough time on the ground running for just 3.1 yards per carry. However, when you get 25 rushing attempts and five targets, efficiency isn't such a concern. Projecting a similar volume in a plus-matchup means Jacobs has a shot to crack the top 10 this week.

Matchups We Hate

None

 

Other Matchups

DJ Moore (WR, CHI)

Just as Justin Fields was heating up, he suffered an injury that will sideline him for this week and likely beyond. While Fields is still questionable as a franchise quarterback, there's no doubt the dropoff from him to Tyson Bagent, an undrafted rookie, is steep. Moore still led the team in every receiving category, but his ceiling takes a real hit given the downgrade to the offense. He drops outside the top 24 in a matchup that isn't as juicy as we thought it was earlier in the season. It's more average at this point. There's no one outside of Moore to look to in the passing attack.

Bears RBs

Roschon Johnson has yet to return to practice, which is the next step for him to progress through the concussion protocol. It's a little concerning considering it's been two full weeks now. Travis Homer got in a full practice. He'd figure to mix in on passing downs with Darrynton Evans if he's out there and Johnson isn't. D'Onta Foreman will compete for early down work regardless of who is active but obviously has more appeal if Johnson is out. He toted the rock 15 times for 65 yards but without a touchdown, he's bound to disappoint because he lacks a pass-catching skill set. Johnson would be in the top 24 if active, while Foreman is more of a volume-based back if Johnson misses.

UPDATE: Johnson has been ruled out yet again. It's concerning for his long-term outlook. For this week, it means Foreman is a volume-based option with Homer filling in as the passing downs back.

Michael Mayer (TE, LV)

Another player the Raiders added this offseason was Mayer, who they selected 35th overall. He was an exciting prospect that many thought would get drafted in Round 1. He seemed like a bust over the first four weeks but has since emerged as an intriguing young tight end. His targets climbed from three in Week 5 to six this past week. More impressive is the fact that he caught five of them for 75 yards, finishing as the TE5. In a superb matchup, he's worth a look as a streamer.
