Las Vegas Raiders

AFC West


Cole might see limited usage as the 4th-ranked WR on the Raiders. As the consensus #154 WR, he won't be worth owning in most fantasy leagues. He's projected to catch 29.1 receptions for 422 yards and 2.3 TDs, which is 11.3% of the total for Raiders WRs. Las Vegas has the 12th-best wide receiver schedule.

As the consensus #301 overall player, Ameer Abdullah is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 247. With a projection of 4.4 touches per game (2.3 carries and 2.1 receptions), Abdullah isn't someone you can really use in fantasy. He trails both Josh Jacobs and Zamir White on the depth chart in Las Vegas. The Raiders have the 20th-best running back schedule.

Hollins is the third best WR on the Raiders, trailing Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow. Ranked #131 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he won't be worth owning in most fantasy leagues. He's projected for 258 yards and 2.0 TDs on 19.8 receptions, for 7.7% of the workload for WRs on the Raiders. The Raiders have the 12th-best schedule for wide receivers.

Johnson might see limited usage as the 5th-ranked WR on the Raiders. At #159 in our WR rankings, he's only relevant in deep leagues. He's projected to catch 6.0 receptions for 77 yards and 0.5 TDs, which is 2.3% of the total for WRs on the Raiders. Las Vegas has the 12th-best wide receiver schedule.

Josh Jacobs is worth drafting at his ADP of 48 as the consensus #58 overall player. At a projected workload of 14.0 carries and 2.3 receptions per game, Jacobs has a strong workload that's hard for running backs to come by. He's ahead of both Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah on the depth chart for the Raiders. The Raiders have the 20th-best schedule for RBs.

Zamir White is correctly valued at his ADP of 153 as the consensus #163 overall player. At a projected workload of 6.2 carries and 0.8 receptions per game, White won't be reliable in fantasy. He's second among Raiders running backs, behind Josh Jacobs. The Raiders have the 20th-best schedule for running backs.

At a projected workload of 0.5 touches per game (0.2 carries and 0.2 receptions), Jakob Johnson is not worth spending a draft pick on. He's behind both Josh Jacobs and Zamir White on the running back chart for the Raiders.

Davante Adams is a fair value at his ADP of 13 as the consensus #18 overall player. Adams is the top dog among wide receivers on the Raiders, with Hunter Renfrow and Mack Hollins behind him. At #5 in our WR rankings, he's a beast. Adams is projected to catch 106.8 receptions for 1,327 yards and 9.3 TDs, which is 41.5% of the total for WRs on the Raiders. The Raiders have the 12th-best wide receiver schedule.

With a projection of 1.4 carries and 0.9 catches per game, Brandon Bolden isn't someone you need to draft. He has some competition on the Raiders' depth chart, where he trails both Josh Jacobs and Zamir White.

Category: Preseason Insights


Jacob Hollister is projected for 35 yards and 0.3 TDs on 4.0 receptions. At rank 83 among tight ends, you can do better than drafting Hollister. Hollister will struggle for touches with Darren Waller and Foster Moreau ahead of him.

As our consensus #15 QB, Derek Carr is one of several players with a chance at finishing as a top-12 QB. Carr is projected to earn 20.1 of his 296 fantasy points by rushing. Running the bal lisn't how he makes his living. With a projected toughdown-to-interception ratio of 2.3, Carr isn't not likely to melt down often.

As a top-6 TE, Darren Waller is one of the few tight ends you can really feel good about drafting. Projected for 932 yards and 5.1 TDs on 77.5 receptions, Waller is one of only 6 TEs expected to record 800 yards. Darren Waller is a fair value at his ADP of 49 as the consensus #55 overall player. The Raiders have the 10th-worst schedule for TEs.

Projected to carry the ball 0.0 times and catch 0.0 passes per game, Sincere McCormick is irrelevant in fantasy. He's behind both Josh Jacobs and Zamir White on the running back chart for the Raiders.

Hunter Renfrow is the second-best WR on the Raiders, trailing Davante Adams. As the consensus #41 WR, he will be startable as a WR3 or Flex most weeks. He is projected to catch 83.4 receptions for 891 yards and 6.4 TDs, which is 32.4% of the total for Raiders WRs. The Raiders have the 12th-best wide receiver schedule. Renfrow is correctly valued at his ADP of 93 as the consensus #95 overall player.

As the consensus #44, Foster Moreau is not worth drafting. Moreau is projected to catch 25.0 receptions for 281 yards and 2.4 touchdowns. Moreau will be playing second fiddle to Darren Waller in Las Vegas.

The Raiders' starting QB is Derek Carr - not Marcus Mariota. As such, you shouldn't spend a draft pick on him in most leagues. Mariota is expected to earn 18% of his projected 13 fantasy points by rushing. While rushing is in his toolbox, it isn't really key to his fantasy value. With a projection of 0.7 interceptions compared to 1.0 passing touchdowns, he carries more interception risk than is entirely comforatable.

At a projected workload of 2.4 carries and 0.3 receptions per game, Peyton Barber is safe to leave on the waiver wire. He's behind both Josh Jacobs and Kenyan Drake on the running back chart in Las Vegas.

Category: Preseason Insights


Derek Carrier is projected for 89 yards and 1.1 TDs on 9.6 receptions. As our #96 TE, you can do better than drafting Carrier. Carrier is not Derek Carr's first or even second choice at tight end, with Darren Waller and Foster Moreau on the roster.

Nick Bowers is projected for only 0 yards and 0 TDs on 0 receptions. As our #103 TE, Bowers is not worth drafting. Bowers will struggle for touches with Darren Waller and Foster Moreau ahead of him.

John Brown is worth drafting at his ADP of 223 as the consensus #243 overall player. Brown is the third best WR on the Raiders, trailing Henry Ruggs III and Bryan Edwards. At #84 in our WR rankings, he's not really fantasy-relevant. Brown is projected for 684 yards and 3.8 TDs on 49.5 receptions, for 22.8% of the total for Raiders WRs. Las Vegas has the worst wide receiver schedule.
