QUARTERBACKS
| Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Derek Carr | 561.2 | 384.4 | 4293.2 | 25.82 | 10.66 | 42.3 | 126.9 | 1.06 | 272.74 |
| Jarrett Stidham | 42.2 | 27 | 291.2 | 1.77 | 1.31 | 3.7 | 3.7 | 0.04 | 16.72 |
Derek Carr: Perennially undervalued, Carr has been one of my favorite targets in 2-QB leagues given his relatively high floor as a second quarterback. Since entering the league in 2014, Carr has never finished worse than QB20 and he's finished as a top-half QB2 (QB13-QB18) or better in six of the past seven seasons with the exception being a QB19 finish in 2017. Reunited with his former Fresno State teammate (Davante Adams), Carr is a legitimate threat to finish as a top-12 fantasy quarterback, even if he's not drafted as such.
RUNNING BACKS
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Josh Jacobs | 192.1 | 797.2 | 6.24 | 29 | 213.2 | 1.3 | 160.78 |
| Kenyan Drake | 82.3 | 345.7 | 2.47 | 31.3 | 247.6 | 1.8 | 100.6 |
| Zamir White | 128.1 | 550.8 | 2.56 | 13.2 | 103.1 | 0.8 | 92.15 |
| Jakob Johnson | 1.1 | 3.3 | 0.03 | 4.1 | 32.1 | 0.2 | 6.97 |
| Brandon Bolden | 4.6 | 20 | 0.14 | 2.5 | 18.3 | 0.1 | 6.52 |
Josh Jacobs: Jacobs set career lows in rush attempts (217) and rushing yards (872) but career highs in targets (64), receptions (54) and receiving yards (348) in 2021. Through three seasons, Jacobs has yet to finish worse than RB18 in half-PPR scoring, but a new coaching staff is likely to use more of a "situational committee" at the position.
Kenyan Drake: Both Jacobs and Drake are entering contract years, and there's a good chance that neither will be on the roster in 2023. While the Raiders will employ a committee approach in the backfield, Drake has the versatility to be used in a James White-type role for McDaniels.
Zamir White: The Raiders used a fourth-round pick on White, who would likely handle the majority of early-down work if Jacobs were to miss any time. The Athletic's Vic Tafur wrote that "there is probably a decent chance" that the coaching staff "already think[s] White is better than them" (Jacobs and Drake). White is a late-round sleeper worth stashing in all of your fantasy drafts.
WIDE RECEIVERS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Davante Adams | 94.2 | 1180.5 | 7.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 209.55 |
| Hunter Renfrow | 80.2 | 873.3 | 5.2 | 3.2 | 14.4 | 0.03 | 160.25 |
| Demarcus Robinson | 22.6 | 263.6 | 1.7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 47.86 |
| Mack Hollins | 18.5 | 231.5 | 1.3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 40.2 |
| Keelan Cole | 13.4 | 162.7 | 0.8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 27.77 |
Davante Adams: Adams has been an elite producer in Green Bay, especially over the past two seasons. In 30 games over the past two seasons, Adams has 238 receptions for 2,927 yards and 29 touchdowns. Adams has scored double-digit touchdowns in five of the past six seasons. While he's reunited with his former collegiate quarterback, the downgrade from Aaron Rodgers to Derek Carr and increased competition for targets means that Adams is now a WR1, as opposed to the WR1.
Hunter Renfrow: Renfrow crushed previous career highs with 103 catches for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns on 128 targets in 2021. Carr and Renfrow have developed tremendous chemistry, but the addition of Adams should make repeating those numbers extremely difficult. On a positive note, however, Josh McDaniels has a history of very productive slot receivers from his days in New England.
TIGHT ENDS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Darren Waller | 79.4 | 987.9 | 5.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 169.69 |
| Foster Moreau | 18.7 | 226.9 | 1.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 40.44 |
| Jacob Hollister | 4.3 | 43.6 | 0.3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 8.31 |
Darren Waller: Waller is one of the most dynamic mismatches at his position, who had a massive 27.7% target share in his last full season (2020). While he missed six games in 2021, he has averaged 69.9 yards per game since 2019. Given the Raiders traded for Davante Adams this offseason, however, Waller's days of oversized target shares are likely over even though he's still a top-five option, at worst.
