  Carr, Cook will ignite Oakland Womens P.J. Hall Jersey air raid If NFL games were only 30 minutes long, the Oakland Raiders might be the best team in
the league. Unfortunately for Raider Nation, they are not and it is making my
fantasy predictions rather difficult. Last week against Denver, I was sort of
right about Derek Carr but also wrong. He put on a record-setting display with
his completion percentage and looked comfortable all day. But the offense did
stall in the second half scoring only seven points. Overall, Carr threw for
close to 300 yards and one touchdown resulting in a good fantasy outing. Those
who stuck with Amari Cooper finally got the payoff they were looking for as he
caught every ball thrown his way. Marshawn Lynch averaged only 3.6 yards per
carry but got a touchdown to save his afternoon. My big miss was Jared Cook. He
had a so-so day with just four receptions. But hey, I have seen worse games from
other premier tight ends. Look at Travis Kelce’s Week 1. Moving on from the
Broncos, let’s look forward to the road trip to Miami. Must StartWR Amari
CooperThe Dolphins have not been giving up big numbers to the wide receiver
position allowing just 22 catches for 281 yards in two games. With that being
said, Miami has only faced the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans. The Jets
start a rookie quarterback in Sam Darnold with limited outside threats and the
Titans aren’t a pass-happy team so I think the numbers are outliers. Also, no
one in the Miami secondary has a PFF player grade greater than 66.9, so Cooper
should easily be able to exploit the unit. And did you watch Cooper on Sunday? I
will happily say it again. He caught every ball that went his way and one more
with the play that got called back for a questionable offsetting pass
interference penalty. TE Jared CookAgain, the Dolphins are weak in the secondary
and at linebacker. So whomever Cook is matched up on, he should have the
advantage. Before Delanie Walker got hurt, he was on his way to having a nice
day with four receptions for 52 yards against the Miami defense which
surrendered 101 yards to the position in Week 1. The Dolphins did limit the Jets
to only three receptions Womens Leon Hall Jersey , but go ahead and tell me a tight end on their roster? Yeah, good luck. So when a tough matchup is at the tight end position,
Miami can be gashed. Jon Gruden seemingly has made Cook an emphasis when a
mismatch is there. I bet Gruden and Carr will be looking to go there like they
did against the Rams. RB Kenyan DrakeOakland is not doing a great job defending
the run allowing 5.76 yards per carry this season. And it is expected to be
close to 90 degrees and humid this Sunday in Miami, so it would be reasonable to
expect the Oakland defense to looked gas down the stretch like it did last week
when Phillip Lindsay ran for 107 yards on 14 carries.Kenyan Drake hasn’t seen
many carries this season, just 25, but he has been a productive back when called
to duty averaging over four yards per pop. The Raiders haven’t shown to shut
down the run game yet and will possibly be without PJ Hall in the middle again,
so I will take my chances with Drake. QB Derek CarrAfter seeing what Carr did
last week on the road in Denver and the lack of skill in the Dolphins secondary,
start the Carr. Proceed with CautionMiami D/STI see a major day through the air
for Carr, Cook, and Cooper so it would seem hard to start the defense that will
be on the opposite end of that air attack. However, the Dolphins’ defense has
forced six turnovers and scored one touchdown in the first two games. So they
are making plays.If the Carr from last week shows up, then Miami will get
shredded. If it is the Carr from the Rams game, then the Dolphins defense could
be headed for a trip to the endzone.BenchRB Marshawn LynchUnless Lynch is up
against a horrible run defense, I don’t see a scenario in which he is a start.
Lynch is averaging just 3.66 yards per carry and is only putting up solid
fantasy numbers to this point because he has found the endzone in each of the
games thus far. Lynch is still battling a shoulder injury as well. With the poor
Miami secondary Womens Derek Carrier Jersey , I think we will see a few more touchdowns in the air rather than on the ground lessening the likelihood that Lynch finds
another score. QB Ryan Tannehill Ryan Tannehill has never been scary. He is
averaging less than 200 yards per game passing and has turned the ball over
three times. The one worry might be Tannehill’s mobility, as that has given
Oakland trouble in recent memory, but the Raiders have done a decent job against
quarterbacks this season allowing just 6.69 yards per attempt, only two
touchdowns and zero 250-yard games.NFL Preseason Week 3 Thursday Night: Eagles
vs. Browns game time open thread Greetings, Raider fans! The Great Raiderdamus
welcomes you to another exciting week of NFL Preseason football, where the
schemes are non-existent and the points don’t matter, just like the thoughts and
feelings of Chiefs fans.Most of the games this week take place on Friday night,
including our beloved Raiders who will take on the Green Bay Packers. But
tonight, there is one game, and that’s the defending Super Bowl Champion
Philadelphia Eagles heading to Cleveland’s Factory of Sadness to take on the
Browns.Quarterback Nick Foles will get the start for Philly tonight after
suffering a shoulder injury earlier in the preseason. Carson Wentz has been
cleared for 11-on-11 practice but not game action at this time.The Browns figure
to give us plenty of Tyrod Taylor and Baker Mayfield, which is the only reason
anyone should care about this game if they are not degenerate gamblers.The game
begins at 5 p.m. on FOX. Enjoy!
