Below you will find our 2018 fantasy football projections for the Oakland Raiders.
Quarterbacks
| Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Derek Carr | 546.5 | 343.7 | 3880 | 25.7 | 12.6 | 30.2 | 80 | 0.5 | 2.7 | 238.4 |
| A disappointing season for Carr (and the Raiders in general), he threw for 3,496 yards, 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 2017. Before last season, he threw for 3,900-plus yards in each of the previous two seasons with a total of 60 touchdowns. | ||||||||||

Running Backs
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marshawn Lynch | 201 | 854.3 | 7.2 | 22.6 | 167.2 | 0.5 | 0.9 | 146.55 |
| After taking a year off, Lynch returned to the NFL and rushed for 891 yards and seven touchdowns and added 20 catches for 151 yards in 2017. Now 32 years old, there's the possibility another Oakland native assumes the lead-back role, but Beast Mode should still pace the backfield in workload and production. | ||||||||
| Doug Martin | 130.2 | 494.8 | 3.5 | 21 | 180.6 | 0.4 | 0.8 | 89.34 |
| Going into his seventh NFL season, Martin has been somewhat of a two-outcome type of player — two seasons of 16 games and 1,400-plus rushing yards and four seasons of five-plus missed games and sub-500 rushing yards. Perhaps he has an unprecedented (for him) season of 500 to 1,399 rushing yards, but that number is more likely to be much closer to the lower end of that range. | ||||||||
| Jalen Richard | 16.1 | 77.3 | 0.4 | 16.5 | 140.3 | 1 | 2.1 | 25.96 |
| DeAndre Washington | 14.1 | 57.8 | 0.4 | 14.5 | 89.9 | 0.3 | 0.7 | 17.57 |
| Chris Warren | 10.1 | 45.5 | 0.3 | 0.7 | 4.6 | 0 | 0 | 6.81 |
| Keith Smith | 0.8 | 2.2 | 0 | 4 | 23.2 | 0.1 | 0 | 3.14 |

Wide Receivers
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amari Cooper | 73.6 | 1037.8 | 6.6 | 1.6 | 6.4 | 0 | 0.2 | 143.62 |
| After beginning his career with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, Cooper posted a disappointing 48/680/7 line over 14 games. Still only 24 years old, it's possible that Cooper bounces back and sets career highs with Michael Crabtree — the 1(b) to his 1(a) — now in Baltimore. | ||||||||
| Jordy Nelson | 61.9 | 767.6 | 7.7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 122.76 |
| Released by the Packers, Nelson had just 53 catches for 482 yards and six touchdowns in 2017. That said, he had 98/1,519/13 (2014) and 97/1,257/14 (2016) in his previous two full seasons. There's virtually no chance that he returns to the 90-catch, 1,200-yard mark he had in 2016, but it wouldn't be a surprise if he finished with eight-plus touchdowns, something that Michael Crabtree had done in each of the past three seasons in Oakland. And apparently he's been moving "like he's 28." | ||||||||
| Martavis Bryant | 39.3 | 593.4 | 4.7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 87.34 |
| Suspended? Or not suspended? There was some uncertainty about whether Bryant would be available for the (start of the) 2018 season as Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal wrote [in mid-June] that "[t]he Raiders fear potential NFL discipline might be imminent" for Bryant. More recently, he's been the subject of coach Jon Gruden's dissatisfaction: He’s got to get out here and play better." | ||||||||
| Seth Roberts | 12 | 136.8 | 1.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.4 | 20.08 |
| Ryan Switzer | 8.4 | 60.5 | 0.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 12.25 |
| Dwayne Harris | 3.4 | 39.4 | 0.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.3 | 6.94 |
| Johnny Holton | 1.8 | 23.8 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.8 | 1.98 |

Tight Ends
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jared Cook | 51.5 | 651.5 | 2.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 78.75 |
| Cook led the team in receiving yards (688) and 20-yard receptions (10) and finished second in receptions (54), but he had just two touchdowns. In fact, Cook has just six touchdowns in 58 games over the past four seasons combined. Finishing as a top-12 fantasy tight in PPR formats (TE16 in standard-scoring leagues), Cook has top-10 upside should he generate a little more red-zone volume and success. | ||||||||
| Lee Smith | 9.3 | 67.9 | 0.9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 12.19 |
| Derek Carrier | 4.3 | 33.5 | 0.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 3.75 |
