Week 1 Fantasy Football Scouting Reports: Oakland Raiders
This is a very tough week to start any Oakland raider NOT named Zach Miller. Miller is Jason Campbell’s favorite target and I am looking for him to get anywhere from 6-10 catches this week, which is outstanding for a tight end.
Michael Bush shouldn’t see any game action until AT LEAST week 5 and Darren McFadden has only rushed for 100 yards once in his career.
Chaz Schilens is out and Louis Murphy and Darrius Heyward Bey haven’t proven that they are worth starting over any other team’s number one or two receiver.
In leagues that count return yardage, Yamon Figurs is returning BOTH kick offs and punts, so, he may be a good pickup.
For the future, you definitely want to look at Oakland’s Defense as well as DHB and Murphy as I have high hopes for all three of them.
