What players and coaches are saying ahead of Raiders
Authentic Tahir Whitehead Jersey , Seahawks week 6 match up With a 1-4 record, the 2018 Oakland Raiders season is officially on life support.A loss on Sunday would all but diminish any hope left of a playoff run.It’s not often teams that start 1-5 make the playoffs, not to say it can’t happen but it would take a monumental turn around in the final 10 games of the season.The Raiders will head to London this week to take on the Seattle Seahawks.This will be the Raiders fourth international game in four years.The last Raiders trip over the pond came in 2014, when they were embarrassed 38-14 by the Miami Dolphins.Let’s see what players and coaches from both teams are saying about this week’s match up.Offensive Coordinator Greg Olson, on what the offense needs to do to put together a complete offensive game. “The Cleveland game is a great example, to me, of complementary football – really with defense, offense and special teams and players playing together. The receivers in that game, they complemented each other. But we’d like to think the run game will complement the pass game and vice versa and try to get all of those guys involved in it. The more we get involved in it and the more we can spread the football around both in the run game and the pass game, then certainly the more explosive type offense and we’d like to see the scoring go up because of that. I think if we can find ways, offensively

Carr threw for 345 yards and one touchdown but was sacked three times and had two interceptions. If he played a cleaner game, then it could have become a monster day. After catching every ball thrown his way in Week 2, Cooper caught just two balls for 17 yards on five targets. Cook had five receptions but only amassed 31 yards.On the Miami Dolphins side

Ryan Tannehill (bench) was 11 yards shy of the 300-yard mark and added three touchdowns.After an underwhelming Week 3, both the Raiders and myself look to bounce back against the Cleveland Browns. Must StartRB Marshawn LynchMarshawn Lynch has scored a touchdown in every game this season. Until last week, I saw it as getting a little bit lucky but it seems to be happening because it is Beast Mode. In addition, the Browns are susceptible to giving up rushing touchdowns as four of their seven touchdowns allowed on the year have been scored on the ground. For perspective, there have been 168 passing touchdowns to just 73 rushing touchdowns in the NFL thru the first three weeks. Lynch might be due to break out and score multiple touchdowns in front of the home crowd on Sunday. Browns D/STAt the moment, the Browns have the No. 12 ranked pass defense in the league and have only given up three touchdowns in the air. Carr has had no issues picking up yards (936 yards this season), but he has struggled to throw a high-number of touchdowns (2) and keep care of the football. With Oakland’s poor play on the offensive line, Cleveland should be able to do what they do best, create pressure (9 sacks) and force turnovers (5 interceptions). The defense has also held every opponent under 21 points which included facing Ben Roethlisberger for 70 minutes and Drew Brees. Proceed with CautionQB Derek CarrAs mentioned above, look for Carr to have many yards. But large numbers only translate to a big fantasy game if it is accompanied by touchdowns. Considering Lynch’s nose for the end zone and the Browns’ reluctance to allow passing touchdowns, it might be tough for Carr to put up impressive fantasy numbers. He might have an excellent game in real life
Authentic Jordy Nelson Jersey , but this is fantasy. And in the fantasy world, touchdowns reign king. WR Amari Cooper + WR Jordy Nelson I don’t think anyone knows at this point. It is a true coin-flip if Cooper has a good game. He either is dominant or unable to be found on the field and there seems to be no indicators. On the positive side, Cleveland gave up good fantasy numbers in the first two weeks to the position allowing 380 yards and three touchdowns against the Steelers and Saints. Outside of their one big week each, Jordy Nelson and Cooper been rather invisible.I can see 100 yards as easily as I see 15 yards for Cooper and Nelson. QB Baker MayfieldOn Thursday Night Football, Baker Mayfield looked poised and threw the ball with zip and accuracy tallying over 200 yards in just more than a half of football against a solid New York Jets unit. In Oakland, Mayfield is going to have all day to throw the football. So if he is able to sit back and survey the field, Jarvis Landry and David Njoku should be able to get open down the field. Also, the way to impede rookie quarterbacks is to blitz heavily and apply pressure, but the Raiders haven’t been able to do that all season. The only reason I am hesitant is because it is Mayfield’s first start, he has to travel to the West Coast and is coming off an emotional win. But Hue Jackson did get a few extra days to prep Mayfield during the long week. BenchTE Jared CookThe Browns have given up just 10 receptions for 97 yards to tight ends the entire season. Cook has faded over the last two games and tight ends don’t do anything against the Cleveland defense thus far.
