Raiders Breakdown

The Raiders are coming off two losses, but are certainly happy to have Brock Bowers back. Starting at the quarterback spot, Geno Smith has been awful this season and finally had a breakout game last week. However, this matchup isn't in his favor based on the high price tag. At the running back position, Ashton Jeanty isn't getting the carries he should due to the Raiders being down on the scoreboard. This makes him an interesting ownership play due to the raw points he could obtain. Raheem Mostert is overpriced for the amount of work he is earning in the backfield. At the wide receiver position, things certainly got wild with Jakobi Meyers being traded to the Jaguars. Pricing already came out for the slate on DraftKings before the trade occurred. Tre Tucker is the next man up, and the DraftKings price tag is overpriced despite the trade news. Last week, Tyler Lockett, yes, I repeat, Tyler Lockett, saw the third most snaps. He is priced great if he sees the same amount of snaps or more. Jack Bech only saw special teams snaps last year, but he should see some snaps. Dont'e Thornton Jr. could be activated, and we will need the news on that. Alex Bachman could also be in play. What a mess of a spot for the receivers. At the tight end spot, this is where I am looking at my DraftKings main plays. Brock Bowers will have to do it all on the team and is the number one option. I am loving him in all formats. Michael Mayer saw an increase in usage and looks to him to see more targets heading into this game. I am loving him over the wide receivers.

Broncos Breakdown

The Broncos are on a six-game winning streak and looking to extend it here against the Raiders. Bo Nix should be able to do well against the Raiders' defense. At the running back position, this is where it can get mysterious with RJ Harvey. The running back one is JK Dobbins, and the touchdowns haven't helped his fantasy output. RJ Harvey has popped up in the last two games in each category in regards to receiving and rushing. I do like him in the flex spot on DraftKings. Tyler Badie wraps up the snaps and is worthy of a dart throw. At the wide receiver position, Courtland Sutton has been solid this year and is certainly worthy of a captain look. Troy Franklin had an outburst game against Dallas, and we know the pop is there now. The price tag is a little high to me, and I am looking at Pat Bryant at a cheaper price tag on DraftKings with Marvin Mims out. Michael Bandy played in his first game last week and saw a good amount of snaps. He earned one reception and is a great price that could pay off. At the tight end spot, it has been gross. Evan Engram has not looked great and got out-snapped last week by Adam Trautman.
