CJ Anderson’s time as a Raider is already over as injuries force team to add two offensive linemen
Injuries mean reinforcements. And Anderson was just passing through. It was less than a week ago the Raiders announced they had signed Vallejo native and Cal grad CJ Anderson.

Oakland vs Pittsburgh recap, final score 24-21: Raiders get late TD for the upset win against Steelers
It’s another installment of the legendary rivalry between the Raiders and the Steelers. Oakland got the ball first and struck pay dirt right out the gates.

The two teams traded punts after that before it was the Steelers turn to strike. They went down the field and eventually scored on a 2 yard Steven Ridley touchdown run. It was a 11 play, 67 yard drive that took over 6 minutes of clock and tied the...

Raiders vs. Steelers fantasy advice: Derek Carr to keep it going
At last, fantasy football has a bright outlook for the Oakland Raiders. Last week against the Chiefs, Derek Carr was a stud. Carr threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns all while playing a clean game. Jalen Richard provided 126 scrimmage yards in addition to Doug Martin’s 69 total yards and one touchdown. Jared Cook had 100 yards and a touchdown and Jordy Nelson caught 10 balls for 97 yards. Even though it was a losing effort, the Raiders put on a heck of a performance led by a much more confident Carr. Based on the way Oakland’s season has gone to this point, there is no reason...

Raiders-Steelers injury report: Doug Martin practices with knee injury
Several player who would have been missing from practice for the Raiders are not because this late in the season, if they look like they’re going to miss several weeks, they just place them on injured reserve.

One addition was running back CJ Anderson who Jon Gruden said was signed due to a knee injury to Doug Martin making his status for next week uncertain. But as of Wednesday, Martin was practicing with that knee injury. He was...

Raiders week 12 report card vs Ravens: Defensive line with an epic fail
It was the same old script for the Raiders in week 12, as they fell to the Baltimore Ravens 34-14. Things looked good early on for the Raiders as they opened the game with a 12 play, 81 yard touchdown drive, capped by a Doug Martin touchdown. As in many games this season, the Raiders looked competitive through two or three quarters but failed to make the necessary adjustments. And as usual, the flood gates would open and the Ravens dominated the final quarter of the game. Late in the fourth quarter, Derek Carr was sacked and was slow to get up. Although he did limp off the field and...

Ravens run away with win over Raiders in 2nd half
This Week 12 match-up in Baltimore started out with the Ravens kicking off to the Raiders. Oakland coming off their win last week against Arizona stayed hot on their opening drive with a Doug Martin touchdown run. The touchdown made the score 7-0, but it came after review because it was initially called a fumble. Martin clearly crossed the line though so the play was overturned for the opening drive TD for Oakland. The Ravens responded with a field goal on their next drive but it was mostly made possible because of one big 25 yard pass. Outside of the one big play the Raiders defense played...

Raiders vs. Ravens second half open thread
That wasn’t so bad! The Raiders are down 13-10 at the half, and the Ravens will get the second-half kickoff. The Raiders took their opening drive to the end zone with a one-yard Doug Martin touchdown run, but have only managed a field goal since then. The Ravens don’t have any offensive touchdowns as their house call came on a punt return. The Raider defense has been playing tough, forcing two Lamar Jackson interceptions on tipped passes. The last one came within the last two minutes of the first half and prevented the Ravens from scoring. Oakland’s offensive line has done a good job...

Raiders vs. Ravens fantasy football advice: Carr and company face stiff test
In what felt like a lifetime apart, the Oakland Raiders picked up their second win of the season. It may not have been the prettiest, since it was against a fellow two-win football team, but Oakland got the job done for the second time this fall. And the victory brought forth some solid fantasy output for the Raiders as a team. The offense ran the football well going for 152 yards on 33 carries with Doug Martin and Jalen Richard both amassing 50 yards, yet none of the running backs found the end zone resulting in just decent fantasy days. Derek Carr didn’t put up many yards, 192, and...
