Oakland Raiders Fantasy Football Analysis – Week 5

Week 5 – vs Denver – L 10-16

QB: Carr an average game and had trouble with the pass rush in this one.  Wasn’t protected well and had little to throw to outside of a lot of short stuff.

RB: Murray a below average game and did nothing to impress against tough D.  Match up was bad so not his fault.  Line couldn’t do much for him.

WR: Crabtree and Cooper covered well and held to average games.  Neither could get much space.  Another bad match up so they should be fine.

TE: Rivera a few catches but just an average fantasy game.  Would like to see him get a lot more targets but it just isn’t happening.

OL: Couldn’t handle elite pass rush.  Not a shocking outcome there.  Did nothing for run game.  Continues to be a pretty bad run blocking unit.

Def: Stout against terrible run game and O line.  Pass rush disrupted a good passing team.  Played pretty well overall considering match up.  Gave up good game to #2 WR.  Held rest in check.  Finally shutout TE but I would continue starting all TEs against.
