Quarterback:
1 – Jason Campbell
In his first season with the Raiders, Campbell found moderate success. His 7.3 yards per attempt was roughly average for starters, and his eight interceptions is better than average. What really hurt his ability to be relevant in the fantasy world was he only had 13 touchdowns, a number some quarterbacks can achieve in a month.
2 – Kyle Boller
In 2010, he only saw a little clean up time. He last started in 2009 where he had negative PFF ratings in all four of his starts. A strong pass blocking line is necessary for him to succeed. When he was under pressure in 2009, he only saw completions on 17 of his 74 drop backs.
3 – Bruce Gradkowski
Over the last two years he saw 10 games with significant action. He looked well near the end of 2009 and the start of 2010, but became below average for the rest of 2010 and was terrible in his last game against the Dolphins.
4 – Charlie Frye
Started the last 3 games for the Raiders in the 2009 season, and had just 6.7 yards per attempt.
5 – J.T. O’Sullivan
He lasted played in relief time for the Bengals in 2009.
Running Back:
1 – Darren McFadden
In the 2010 season McFadden showed great progression as a rusher. He went up to 5.2 yards per attempt with 3.5 of those coming after contact. He was most impressive in the pass game, where he got the sixth most receiving yards for a running back with 507. The only thing holding him back from being an elite fantasy back is his low rushing attempts.
2 – Michael Bush
He was the clear number two back in Oakland, and had four games where he saw 20 attempts or more. He seemed to be more effective as a backup, with 4.07 yards per carry in games where he had 20 or more attempts, and 4.61 when he 18 or less over the past two years.
3 – Michael Bennett
Over the past three years he has only played 92 plays. In that time he’s had 37 attempts for 112 yards.
4 – Rock Cartwright
In his first year in Oakland, he barely saw the field. He only had two snaps since Week 8. He had 3.6 yards per carry when he saw 64 rushes in 2009.
5 – Louis Rankin – Reserve/Futures Contract
Fullback:
1 – Marcel Reece
He had 30 rushes for the Raiders in 2010 and had 4.1 yards per attempt. He was an asset in the passing game where he 333 receiving yards.
2 – Manase Tonga – Reserve/Futures Contract
Wide Receiver:
1 – Jacoby Ford
In Week 8 of the 2010 season, Ford cracked the starting lineup for the Raiders. He was very inconsistent catching the ball, only catching half the passes thrown his direction with 20% of those being drops. However he had 18.8 yards per catch, and had two big games of 148 and 108 yards. He needs to be more reliable as in his other games he had less than 50.
2 – Louis Murphy
He started most of the season, but later on was a backup for the Raiders. Of the four top wide receivers for the Raiders, he had the highest catch rate with 55.4%. However in eight of his 14 games he only had one or two catches.
3 – Darrius Heyward-Bey
He had the worst rating of all wide receivers in 2010 in terms of PFF standards. He caught only 26 of the 60 balls thrown his way and only had 14.1 yards per catch. A third of his targets came on passes 20 yards or longer.
4 – Johnnie Lee Higgins
He was thrown at just once every 10 pass routes he ran. He only saw at most 38 passing yards in any game despite seeing half the snaps in the games he played.
5 – Chaz Schilens
He saw 81 snaps in the late part of the season. He saw 40 yards on the nine times he was thrown at.
6 – Nick Miller
In the middle of the season he had 52 snaps where he was only thrown at four times. He did have a 32 yard catch.
7 – Shaun Bodiford – Reserve/Futures Contract
8 – Damola Adeniji – Reserve/Futures Contract
Tight End:
1 – Zach J. Miller
Early on in the 2010 season, Miller was a very consistent player getting at least 43 yards in the first seven games of the season. He followed this up with four straight games with less than 10 yards each, and then was inconsistent the rest of the season. He caught two thirds of passes thrown his way.
2 – Brandon Myers
As the Raiders backup tight end in 2010, there were only two games where he was targeted more than once. Only three passes thrown his way were beyond ten yards.
3 – Kevin Brock– Reserve/Futures Contract
Kicker:
1 – Sebastian Janikowski
He led the league in field goals made beyond 50 yards with five, as well as field goals made total with 34.
