Robert Woods totals 43 yards in win over the Raiders.

Woods caught three passes for 37 yards, also adding a six-yard rush (all three of LA’s starting receivers recorded at least one carry). The veteran narrowly missed a deep ball that would have resulted in six, as Jared Goff’s pass was just out of the reach of his extended hands. The presence of Brandin Cooks probably hurts Woods more than anyone this year, but he could benefit over the next few weeks if it keeps him from being covered by Patrick Peterson, Casey Hayward, and Xavier Rhodes.

David Johnson (back) was limited in practice.

This is the first we’re hearing of this back issue, but it’s probably just something minor. Hopefully Johnson is back up to a full participant in tomorrow’s practice.

Marshawn Lynch scores in Week 1 loss.

Lynch started the game very well, including bulldozing in for a touchdown (with the help of his offensive lineman pushing him) on the opening drive of the game. Overall, Lycnh had 11 carries for 41 rushing yards and added two receptions for eight receiving yards. Doug Martin also ran well, carrying four times for 20 yards, but Lynch is the clear lead ball-carrier for the Raiders. He’s an option in Week 2 against the Broncos.

Brandon Lafell (back) was limited in today’s practice.

The veteran receiver did not play on Monday night against the Rams, as he’s still getting the hang of Jon Gruden’s offense. Especially after the addition of Martavis Bryant, Lafell isn’t a recommended fantasy bench hold.

Derek Carrier catches two passes in Week 1.

Carrier worked as a split-out receiver for much of the game, and he played well, gaining 20 yards on his two receptions (three targets). Carrier isn’t a recommended fantasy option, but he’s a solid real-life contributor for the Raiders.

Marshawn Lynch (shoulder) was limited in practice.

This will likely be a similar situation to last week, where Lynch might be limited throughout the week before not being listed on the injury report for the game. There isn’t much concern about Week 2 Lynch’s status.

DeAndre Washington (knee) was limited in practice today.

This is a good sign, as Washington is making progress in his return from a knee injury. However, Jalen Richard has seized a very solid third-down role in Washington’s absence, so he’s off the fantasy radar for now.
