The Raiders really don't have much to look forward to this season. They lost their tackle in Jared Veldheer to a torn triceps and are now starting Alex Barron to help protect Matt Flynn. This could be a big problem for Moore since he likes to stretch the field and the lack of protection might not allow Flynn to get the ball out on five-step drops.
Fantasy impact: It's really between Denarius Moore and Rod Streater to be the main options for the Raiders in the passing game. The team is likely to run more short routes than anything else, so Streater might be the favorite to see the most targets. Although, Moore has the talent and offers the bigger upside, especially in standard leagues. To be clear, there are probably higher upside picks to make in the late rounds of 10- and 12-team leagues.
