As good as the Oakland Raiders’ offense has been this year, the tight ends have not been involved much in the passing game.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 14: Clive Walford a bad play vs. Chiefs
The Raiders’ tight ends have not done much this season, including Clive Walford.

Clive Walford has been the primary guy here for most of the year while holding off Mychal Rivera. Walford enters Week 14 with 27 grabs for 288 yards and two scores on 41 targets.
However, the second-year tight end has just 12 catches for 138 yards and one score over his last six games. He just is not doing nearly enough to be fantasy relevant in this offense, especially with wide receivers Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper getting so many targets (216 combined).
That trend should not change in Week 14 when the Raiders face the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday Night Football.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Walford as the 35th-best tight end in Week 14. He faces a Chiefs defense allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season.
Keep Walford benched this week.
