Raiders Beat: WR Rod Streater becoming Derek Carr's 'most reliable target'

Sep 12, 2014

Rod Streater might be developing into Derek Carr's most reliable target. Streater had five catches against the Jets in coverage against five different defenders on six targeted passes. Clearly, Carr has confidence in him. It appears Streater earned that trust much more than Denarius Moore, who caught just two of eight targeted passes against New York. Coaches like the way Carr and Streater have connected in practice, and Streater said after the loss to the Jets that he loves the way Carr runs the offense and that he believes the rookie will get better quickly.

Fantasy Impact:

Streater was one of our favorite late-round picks after he posted #33 WR numbers in 2013. Look for more quiet production in the coming weeks.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
