Seth Roberts Continues Mediocre Production

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Seth Roberts posted a very modest stat line in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. Roberts ended with just three catches for 29 yards and no touchdowns. He now has three or more receptions in five of his last six games, but no more than five receptions in that span. He is seeing decent volume in the passing game, but barely doing anything productive with that volume. Roberts will continue to be a risky, fantasy option who is generally touchdown dependant every week.

Jordy Nelson Leads Team In Receiving

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson led the team in receiving but was done so in a losing effort against the Bengals. Nelson ended with six receptions for 88 yards but was unable to find the end zone. He now has six or more receptions in three straight games, proving to be one of the best fantasy options in the offense. Nelson will be a viable WR 2 in fantasy leagues due to his PPR value and overall target market share in the past few weeks.

Jalen Richard Hauls In Five Catches During Loss

Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard posted decent fantasy numbers in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. Richard ended with five receptions for 67 yards, both of which were second highest on the team, but was unable to find the end zone. Richard did lose a fumble in this game, which was one of two lost fumbles for the Raiders in this game. He will continue to make a viable fantasy option due to his PPR value coming out of the backfield in the passing game.
