QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Jared Goff	542.8	350.1	3935.3	20.08	13.03	43.1	81.9	2.59	235.4
Tim Boyle	37.7	23.4	260.1	1.24	0.79	4.3	4.7	0.09	14.79

Jared Goff: Traded to Detroit, Goff joins a less potent offense that will be more run-based in philosophy. Given that only the Houston Texans have a lower Vegas team wins total, it's certainly possible that game script will dictate more pass attempts than the new coaching staff would prefer. Over the past two seasons, Goff has failed to exceed a 3.6 TD%. In other words, even when he led the league in pass attempts (626) in 2019, he threw only 22 touchdowns.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
D'Andre Swift	185.5	816.2	6.96	57.9	461.5	2.3	212.28
Jamaal Williams	151	641.8	4.15	34.5	251.7	1.2	138.7
Jermar Jefferson	44.2	190.1	1.11	11.2	83.9	0.4	42.06
Jason Cabinda	1.1	4.2	0.03	0.9	6.3	0	1.68

D'Andre Swift: Swift was much more involved in the second half of the season as he finished his rookie campaign with 114/521/8 (4.6 YPC) rushing and 46/357/2 (7.8 Y/R) receiving. Swift had three-plus catches in 12 of 13 games. While I have him ranked as a mid-tier RB2, his ability as a receiver gives him the upside to crack the top-10 fantasy running backs in 2021, especially in full PPR formats.

Jamaal Williams: In his four NFL seasons, Williams has averaged 736.5 scrimmage yards, 155.5 touches and 30.5 receptions per season with the Packers. While he remains his team's RB2 (to D'Andre Swift instead of Aaron Jones), Williams should get 8-10 touches per game even with both Swift and Williams healthy.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Tyrell Williams	53.2	723.7	3.7	0	0	0	121.17
Breshad Perriman	43	667.1	3.3	2.2	12.1	0.04	109.46
Amon-Ra St. Brown	37.4	467.8	2.3	0	0	0	79.28
Quintez Cephus	29.9	356.6	1.8	0	0	0	61.41
Kalif Raymond	10.3	146.8	0.6	0	0	0	23.43
Victor Bolden	0.9	10.5	0.1	0	0	0	2.1

Tyrell Williams: Williams is a wideout that has had some success elsewhere that will play a heavy amount of snaps, by default. Williams broke out in 2016 (69/1,059/7), but he has hovered in the 651-728 yardage range since then excluding last season's injured campaign (shoulder).

Breshad Perriman: Injuries to Tampa's wide receivers allowed Perriman to close 2019 strong -- three 100-yard games and 25/506/5 over his final five games -- but those numbers were even better than his full-season numbers (12 games) as a Jet (30/505/3) in 2020. Perriman has missed multiple games in every season other than his rookie campaign (2016). The former first-rounder continues his tour around the league.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
T.J. Hockenson	69.1	765.7	4.1	135.72
Darren Fells	19.6	199.3	1.2	36.93
Alize Mack	5.6	54.5	0.3	10.05

T.J. Hockenson: Hockenson basically doubled up his rookie production with 67 catches for 723 yards and six touchdowns. Given the turnover of the wide receiver corps, Hockenson could be forced into an even higher-volume role in 2021.

Breshad Perriman: With injuries to Tampa's receivers, Perriman closed 2019 strong -- three 100-yard games to end the season and 25/506/5 over his final five games. That end-of-season success exceeded his production as a Jet (30/505/3) in 2020. The former first-round pick will play for his fifth team in as many seasons, but he's as good of a bet as any of the team's other wide receivers to lead the position group in target share. That alone makes him a last-round dart throw to consider.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Derek Carr	485.8	335.2	3765	21.62	8.5	33.3	91.6	0.5	232.24
Finishing as a top-20 fantasy quarterback every year of his career, Carr was fantasy's QB17 in 2019. On the other hand, Carr has finished as a top-12 fantasy quarterback only once (2016). So while he's performed better than most likely realize, there has been limited upside as well. That said, the Raiders are giving him every opportunity to succeed by loading up on pass-catchers in the draft and free agency.
Marcus Mariota	45.1	27.1	331.5	1.94	1.13	13.3	71.8	0.67	29.96

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Josh Jacobs	258.4	1137	7.11	30.6	249.4	0.61	184.96
Jacobs had double-digit carries every week he was active as a rookie and ranked among the top 10 players in touches per game (20.15) in 2019. That said, Jacobs had more than three targets only once last season. While Jacobs has a goal to catch "at least 60 balls, the team re-signed Jalen Richard (36 catches on 43 targets in 2019), drafted the hybrid/ex-receiver Lynn Bowden as a running back and recently signed pass-catching specialist Theo Riddick.
Jalen Richard	37.7	162.1	0.57	32.2	296.2	0.64	53.09
Richard doesn't have much stand-alone value outside of deep PPR leagues. In fact, his biggest fantasy impact could be the dent he puts into Josh Jacob's fantasy value as the second-year back has set a goal for himself of 60 catches, but we have Richard projected for more catches than Jacobs.
Lynn Bowden Jr.	51	211.7	1.02	10	84	0.4	38.09
Devontae Booker	28.8	118.1	0.58	3.8	31.5	0.06	18.8

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Henry Ruggs III	50.7	717.4	5.83	6.7	41.5	0.13	111.65
A surprise to some as the first receiver off the board in the draft, it was not a surprise to any that Ruggs ran the fastest 40-yard dash (4.27) at the combine in February. With game-breaking speed, Ruggs scored on one of every four times he touched the ball in college.
Hunter Renfrow	44.8	504	3.14	0	0	0	69.24
After returning from a late-season injury, Renfrow closed his rookie campaign with a bang. The slot receiver had a 6/102/1 line (or better) in each of his final two games to finish the year with 49/605/4 on 71 targets over 13 games. A step forward in volume is unlikely for the Clemson product given the draft capital that Mike Mayock used to improve the team's receiving corps this offseason.
Bryan Edwards	35.4	447.8	3.01	0	0	0	62.84
When describing Edwards, Derek Carr compared him to his former Fresno State teammate Davante Adams. "Bryan is a very violent route runner and that's a good thing. He's very violent, he's very aggressive in his cuts, he reminds me -- when the ball is in the air -- of Davante, great ball skills." Definitely a player to target in dynasty drafts, Edwards may outperform the expectations most have for his rookie season as well.
Tyrell Williams	30.4	451.4	2.74	0	0	0	61.58
Williams began the season with a touchdown in his first five games, but he reached the 50-yard mark in only four of 14 games in his first season with the Raiders. Williams will play through a torn labrum in his shoulder, but it's likely that his four-year streak of 650-yard seasons ends in 2020.
Nelson Agholor	9.4	97.3	0.56	1.1	5	0.01	13.65
Zay Jones	1.4	12.9	0.11	0	0	0	1.95

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Darren Waller	67.8	817	3.39	0	0	0	102.04
In his breakout season, Waller finished second amongst tight ends in receptions (90), third in targets (117) and second in yards (1,145). With the team's additions via free agency and the draft, Waller will have much more competition for targets in 2020, but he's still a top-five option at the position.
Foster Moreau	15.5	136.4	1.55	0	0	0	22.94
With the addition of Jason Witten and a number of rookie receivers, Moreau's numbers my actual decline from his rookie season (21/174/5).
Jason Witten	16.3	134.5	0.82	0	0	0	18.37
A shell of his former self in terms of fantasy production, Witten still managed to post a top-12 season in his first year out of retirement. That said, his 8.4 Y/R and 6.4 Y/T were the lowest of his career and his non-rookie lows of 83 targets and 63 receptions are about to plummet as well.

Oakland Raiders 2019 Fantasy Football Projections

In addition to viewing our 2019 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2019 fantasy football projections for the Oakland Raiders.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Derek Carr	544.6	360.8	4002.8	23.96	10.08	26.5	66.3	0.4	244.82
Since entering the league five years ago, Carr has finished as a top-20 fantasy quarterback every season. The QB18 in 2018, Carr threw for a career-high 4,049 yards but a career-low 19 touchdowns. Carr's career-low 3.4% touchdown rate was a full percentage point below his career average, but the improvement in weapons -- Antonio Brown, Tyrell Williams and Josh Jacobs -- should see that normalize to his career average or even exceed it. At this point, Carr is vastly underrated compared to current expectations (ADP) and even my own rankings.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Josh Jacobs	236.1	1038.8	7.08	35.6	267	0.89	178.4
With little tread on the tires, Jacobs, one of Oakland's three first-round picks, will assume the lead-back role for the revamped Oakland offense. More important than possessing the top-end speed that he lacks, Jacobs has the quickness, elusiveness and power to become the every-down back that Oakland has drafted him to become.
Jalen Richard	41.7	204.3	0.63	45.7	388.5	1.14	69.9
Tied with Jared Cook for the team lead in receptions (68) last season, Richard finished as a top-30 fantasy running back in PPR scoring (RB43 in standard). A more talented receiving corps and a first-round rookie running back with the potential to be a three-down back means that Richard will likely cede some of that passing-game work to others.
Doug Martin	81.4	333.7	2.04	8.6	61.1	0.13	52.5
Martin had 190 touches for 839 scrimmage yards for Oakland last season and even though he re-signed with the club, first-rounder Josh Jacobs will put a huge dent into Martin's workload.
Chris Warren	10.2	42.8	0.31	0.4	2.9	0	6.43
DeAndre Washington	6.1	25	0.12	0.6	3.9	0.01	3.67

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Antonio Brown	94.4	1161.1	8.97	1	7	0.01	170.69
Since 2013, Brown has had more than 100 catches and 150 targets every season and averaged 1,524 receiving yards and 11.2 touchdowns per season over that six-year span. In addition, AB has finished as a top-three fantasy wide receiver in five consecutive seasons. A top-three season may be less likely with Derek Carr instead of Ben Roethlisberger, but he should still rank near the league lead in targets.
Tyrell Williams	50.3	774.6	4.53	0	0	0	104.64
A few seasons removed from a 1,059-yard breakout season, Williams has had a couple of solid seasons --43/728/4 in 2017 and 41/653/5 in 2018. As Oakland's clear No. 2 receiver, Williams is unlikely to reach the 1,000-yard mark, but he could exceed the production he's had with the Chargers over the past couple of seasons.
Hunter Renfrow	34	353.6	1.7	0	0	0	45.56
Not the biggest (5-10, 184) or fastest (4.59 forty), Renfrow has overachieved compared to expectations set for him by others in college. Outside of deep PPR formats, Renfrow is unlikely to make a significant impact in his rookie campaign.
Ryan Grant	16.4	177.1	0.98	0	0	0	23.59
J.J. Nelson	8.3	131.1	0.83	3.1	21.7	0.03	20.44
Marcell Ateman	4.6	48.8	0.3	0	0	0	6.68
Dwayne Harris	0.9	10	0.09	2	11	0	2.64

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Darren Waller	27.3	286.7	2.18	0	0	0	41.75
Currently sitting atop Oakland's depth chart at tight end, Waller has a chance for a breakout with Jared Cook now in New Orleans. While Cook was the team's top option last year, offseason changes puts Waller no higher than third amongst wide receivers and tight ends.
Luke Willson	18.2	194.7	1.27	0	0	0	27.09
Foster Moreau	7.2	85	0.47	0	0	0	11.32

Oakland Raiders 2019 Fantasy Football Projections

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Derek Carr	581.2	385	4271.8	25.57	10.75	26.5	66.3	0.4	260.68
Since entering the league five years ago, Carr has finished as a top-20 fantasy quarterback every season. The QB18 in 2018, Carr threw for a career-high 4,049 yards but a career-low 19 touchdowns. Carr's career-low 3.4% touchdown rate was a full percentage point below his career average, but the improvement in weapons -- Antonio Brown, Tyrell Williams and Josh Jacobs -- should see that normalize to his career average or even exceed it. At this point, Carr is vastly underrated compared to current expectations (ADP) and even my own rankings.
Mike Glennon	5.9	3.9	40.1	0.24	0.15	1	2.1	0	2.47

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Josh Jacobs	232.5	1023	6.98	34.9	261.8	0.87	175.58
With little tread on the tires, Jacobs, one of Oakland's three first-round picks, will assume the lead-back role for the revamped Oakland offense. More important than possessing the top-end speed that he lacks, Jacobs has the quickness, elusiveness and power to become the every-down back that Oakland has drafted him to become.
Jalen Richard	41.8	204.8	0.63	48.8	414.8	1.22	73.06
Tied with Jared Cook for the team lead in receptions (68) last season, Richard finished as a top-30 fantasy running back in PPR scoring (RB43 in standard). Better weapons on the roster could mean a few less targets, but Richard will have a chance to flirt with flex-type production in PPR leagues.
Doug Martin	77.5	317.8	1.94	9.1	64.6	0.14	50.72
Martin had 190 touches for 839 scrimmage yards for Oakland last season and even though he re-signed with the club, his workload will take a huge dip with first-rounder Josh Jacobs ahead of him on the depth chart.
Chris Warren	13.3	55.9	0.4	1.1	7.9	0.01	8.84
DeAndre Washington	9.2	37.7	0.18	1.1	7.2	0.02	5.69
Keith Smith	1	1.8	0.01	3.7	18.9	0.04	2.37

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Antonio Brown	98	1205.4	9.31	0	0	0	176.4
Since 2013, Brown has had more than 100 catches and 150 targets every season and averaged 1,524 receiving yards and 11.2 touchdowns per season over that six-year span. In addition, AB has finished as a top-three fantasy wide receiver in five consecutive seasons. A top-three season may be less likely now that he's forced himself out of Pittsburgh, but Brown remains a top-eight option at the position.
Tyrell Williams	52	800.8	4.68	0	0	0	108.16
A few seasons removed from a 1,059-yard breakout season, Williams has had a couple of solid seasons --43/728/4 in 2017 and 41/653/5 in 2018. As Oakland's clear No. 2 receiver, Williams should outperform his numbers over the past couple of seasons, but he's unlikely to return to the 1,000-yard level barring an injury to Brown.
Hunter Renfrow	37.2	386.9	1.86	0	0	0	49.85
As much as he may lack the type of the size (5-10, 184) and athleticism (4.59 forty), Renfrow has overachieved expectations set for him by others in college. It wouldn't be a surprise if his reliability and production from the slot leads to fantasy relevance in deeper PPR formats in future seasons.
Ryan Grant	20.3	219.2	1.22	0	0	0	29.24
J.J. Nelson	10.7	169.1	1.07	3.1	21.7	0.03	25.68
Marcell Ateman	8.9	94.3	0.58	0	0	0	12.91

2018 Fantasy Football Projections: Los Angeles Chargers

In addition to viewing our 2018 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2018 fantasy football projections for the Los Angeles Chargers.

Quarterbacks

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Philip Rivers	582.1	361.5	4453	27.4	14.6	17.6	21.1	0.4	2.2	258.63
Except for 2012 (21st) and 2016 (14th), Rivers has finished as a top-12 fantasy quarterback in the eight of his past 10 NFL seasons. On my list of 12 Undervalued Players Compared to Fantasy ADP, Rivers has thrown for at least 4,286 yards and 28 touchdowns in each of the past five seasons.
Geno Smith	2.9	1.7	21	0.1	0.1	0.9	3.2	0	0	1.36

More Fantasy Football QB Resources:

Running Backs

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Melvin Gordon	286	1186.9	8.6	62.4	505.4	2.5	1.5	232.83
Yet to average 4.0 yards per carry in any season, Gordon rushed for 1,105 yards last year and added 58 catches for 476 yards, all of which were career highs. And after not scoring on 217 touches as a rookie, MG3 has scored exactly 12 touchdowns in each of the past two seasons. With Hunter Henry sidelined (ACL), it's possible that Gordon sees a few extra dumpoffs in the passing game.
Austin Ekeler	90.6	389.6	2.9	31.1	286.1	1.2	1.2	89.77
Finishing as a top-50 fantasy back in 2017, Ekeler has a reasonable chance to do so again as MG3's backup. As a rookie, Ekeler had 539 YFS, 27 catches, 5.5 YPC and five TDs.
Justin Jackson	30.8	129.4	0.9	5.7	50.2	0.2	0.2	24.16
Derek Watt	3.5	12.3	0.1	2.6	32.5	0.1	0	5.68

Wide Receivers

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Keenan Allen	101.5	1304.3	7.1	1.8	7.6	0	0.1	173.59
Playing just eight games in 2015 and one game in 2016, Allen won the AP Comeback of the Year award as he posted career numbers (102/1,393/6) in a healthy 16-game campaign. From Weeks 11 to 17, Allen was absolutely dominant with five 100-yard games during that seven-game span. No player had more receptions (58) or receiving yards (797) and only Antonio Brown (six) scored more touchdowns (five) than Allen over that stretch.
Tyrell Williams	55.4	875.3	5	0	0	0	0.3	116.93
With Keenan Allen out for virtually of 2016, Williams had a breakout season with 69 catches for 1,059 yards and seven touchdowns. With Allen healthy, Williams had 43/728/4 in 2017 — and that level of production is a more reasonable expectation barring an Allen injury in 2018.
Mike Williams	40.4	533.3	4.8	0	0	0	0.3	81.53
Using the No. 7 pick on the former Clemson wideout, the Chargers got only 11 catches for 95 yards from the rookie. Back in April, Williams said he's "100%" now and the big target (6-4, 218) could become especially productive as a red-zone weapon for the Chargers.
Travis Benjamin	30.1	475.6	3	8.8	57.2	0.2	0.4	71.68
Benjamin averaged 16.7 yards per catch last season and the speedster always has the potential for a big play. On the flip side, he had seven games with no or one reception in 2017.
Geremy Davis	1.9	20.1	0.1	0	0	0	0	2.61

Tight Ends

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Virgil Green	29.6	340.4	3	0	0	0	0.1	51.84
Although the Chargers brought back Antonio Gates and Hunter Henry may make a late-season return, Green has some sleeper appeal and should still be the team's most-productive fantasy tight end.
Antonio Gates	19.3	200.7	1.9	0	0	0	0.1	31.27
Despite playing all 16 games last season, Gates finished with just 30 catches for 316 yards and three touchdowns, all of which were either a career low or the lowest since his rookie season (2003). That said, Gates will be a TD-dependent fantasy TE streamer for 2018.
Hunter Henry	4.5	57.2	0.5	0	0	0	0.1	8.52
With Henry (ACL) possibly out for the season but only placed on reserve/PUP, it's unclear what the Bolts will get from Henry during the fantasy football season (through Week 16). The Vegas favorite to win the AFC West, it's possible that Henry returns at some point during the 2018-19 NFL season.
Sean Culkin	0.7	7.1	0.1	0	0	0	0	1.31

Yet to average 4.0 yards per carry in any season, Gordon rushed for 1,105 yards last year and added 58 catches for 476 yards, all of which were career highs. And after not scoring on 217 touches as a rookie, MG3 has scored exactly 12 touchdowns in each of the past two seasons. Ex-Chargers HOFer LaDainian Tomlinson said "the first thing I thought about when Hunter [Henry] went down, is Melvin is going to have to become a weapon in the passing game. Hunter makes easy throws for Philip, easy first downs and easy red zone targets. Now somebody has to pick up that role, and that can be Melvin."
Austin Ekeler	90.6	389.6	2.9	31.1	286.1	1.2	1.2	89.77
Finishing as a top-50 fantasy back in 2017, Ekeler has a reasonable chance to do so again as MG3's backup. As a rookie, Ekeler had 539 YFS, 27 catches, 5.5 YPC and five TDs.

Keenan Allen	105.4	1354.4	7.4	1.8	7.6	0	0.1	180.4
Playing just eight games in 2015 and one game in 2016, Allen won the AP Comeback of the Year award as he posted career numbers (102/1,393/6) in a healthy 16-game campaign.

Mike Williams	41	541.2	4.9	0	0	0	0.3	82.92
Using the No. 7 pick on the former Clemson wideout, the Chargers got only 11 catches for 95 yards from the rookie. Back in April, Williams said he's "100%" now and the big target (6-4, 218) could become especially productive as a red-zone weapon for the Chargers, who will be without tight ends Henry and (as of now, at least) Antonio Gates.
Travis Benjamin	31.1	491.4	3.1	8.8	57.2	0.2	0.4	73.86
Benjamin averaged 16.7 yards per catch last season and the speedster always has the potential for a big play. On the flip side, he had seven games with no or one reception in 2017.

With Hunter Henry (ACL) out for the season, it's possible that they bring back Antonio Gates. For now, Virgil Green tops the TE depth chart and has some sleeper appeal. Either way, we could see more three-WR sets from the Bolts.
