There are just as many ways to play fantasy football as there are different kinds of people who enjoy it, so here are a few basics as draft season starts to heat up.
The Raiders’ move comes just days after the team added veteran Nathan Peterman to add depth and competition to a crowded quarterback room.
After statements by Raiders receiver Davante Adams and coach Antonio Pierce left questions about whether he would play Saturday, Adams did not practice Thursday.
Jackson Powers-Johnson was activated from the physically unable to perform list and made his training camp debut for the Raiders on Wednesday at Allegiant Stadium.
The Raiders added a veteran quarterback to their roster Tuesday, one who has experience with new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.
Raiders coach Antonio Pierce revealed Sunday he hopes to name a winner of the starting quarterback competition between Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew soon.
While the new NFL kickoff rules have dominated the headlines during the preseason, some of the other new rules are positives but could catch fans off guard this fall.
The Raiders held their final practice in Costa Mesa, California, on Wednesday. The day was marked by turnovers from several of the team’s quarterbacks.
The Raiders cornerback has had a tremendous camp, including two interceptions Tuesday, and appears to be on the verge of a star-making season.
The Raiders had avoided major injuries during training camp, but the cart came out for the first time Monday after a receiver suffered a knee injury.
The Raiders had their first evening practice of training camp Saturday night, and one of the quarterbacks outperformed his competition for the starting job.
Raiders coach Antonio Pierce and his staff have drawn praise for their willingness to listen to players. That has been especially helpful for one offensive lineman.
Davante Adams’ absence from Friday’s practice triggered online speculation of discontent and rumors of an imminent trade, but the reality was far more joyous.
