Clive Walford was out there often, playing over 80% of the snaps, but was hardly targeted. He contin-ues to be unusable in fantasy.

Bye Week

Latavius Murray had a monster week against the Denver defense, and did it on just 43 snaps. Jalen Richard cut into the workload just a little bit, but Murray was the better back. Clive Walford played 84% of the snaps this week, which is a season high for him. Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree had down weeks in the snap departments.

It was a dominant week for Derek Carr, tossing for over 500 yards in overtime. Amari Cooper dominated on 96% of the team snaps. Michael Crabtree played 77% and Seth Roberts played 67%. The multi-back approach struck again for Oakland. Latavius Murray played just 38% of the snaps.

With Latavius Murray out, Deandre Washington played 58% of the snaps. Jalen Richard played just 26%. Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree were both the heavily used guys, but Seth Roberts continues to be the third option. Clive Walford might be working himself back, playing just 53% of the snaps.

Latavius Murray was out this week, and Deandre Washington played 51% of the snaps. Jalen Richard played 32%. Overall it was a big week for the passing game. Amari Cooper played 90% of the snaps, with Michael Crabtree playing 74%. Clive Walford was out, which meant Mychal Rivera played 65% of the snaps.

Despite Michael Crabtree playing less snaps than Amari Cooper, he outscored him quite a bit. Crabtree was targeted 26% of his snaps, compared to 11% for Cooper. The Clive Walford injury looked pretty serious, and potentially season ending. Mychal Rivera will fill in if he is out. Seth Roberts will also work more out of the slot.

The Latavius Murray situation has not been clear lately. He played 48% of the snaps, and we saw Richard and Washington also cut into his workload. It was the usual showing of wide receivers on the field for Oakland, and Clive Walford played 68% of the snaps. Walford has secured himself some snaps.

The running backs have been the biggest talking point for Oakland. Latavius Murray saw 48% of the snaps, while Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington both saw snaps behind him. Murray should continue to be the heavy workload guy, but week 2 didn't operate in terms of game flow. Be aware of this moving forward.

Clive Walford's 51% of snaps was a little disappointing, as Lee Smith saw 56%. Seth Roberts was a part of the Oakland offense, which was forced to throw quite a bit, he saw 82% of the snaps. After talks of Deandre Washington cutting into Latavius Murray's workload, he didn't. Murray saw 62% of the snaps.

Oakland Raiders Snap Count Breakdown

Oakland's core on offense is on the come-up, and personally I am intrigued with how high their ceiling could be. Amari Cooper played 85% of the Oakland snaps in his rookie season, which should be a floor when healthy. Michael Crabtree rebounded in 2015, playing 76% of the snaps. Both will be relied on again in this Oakland offense, that will look to continue trending upwards. Seth Roberts will look to build upon 2015, where he beat out Rod Streater and Andre Holmes. He saw 53% of the team's snaps last season, which is likely his ceiling. Clive Walford failed to make an impact last year, on the field, and breaking ahead of other tight ends. It was shared time between Lee Smith, Mychal Rivera, and Walford all saw under 50% of the team's snaps. Is 2016 a year where Walford can jump ahead of the other two? Certainly, but it I will temper my expectations in terms of fantasy production.

Latavius Murray was a workhorse in Oakland, playing 679 snaps. Next was Marcel Reese with 256 carries, who played more of a fullback role. Murray was not an efficient back on a YPC basis, and lacked in the second halves of games, as well as down the stretch. He finished with 266 attempts, which was the third in the NFL. I do believe Murray takes a step down in that department, as DeAndre Washington is gaining some steam behind Murray. Washington is a rookie out of Texas Tech, and could relieve Murray at times, as well as be an option during passing downs. While Murray should see 60% of the snaps again, the pieces that were behind him in 2015 will shift over to Washington. Even with the passing game, Oakland is projected to be a run-first team, which would give a bit more value to these names.
