Seth Roberts catches three passes in Week 15.

Roberts gained a team-high 52 receiving yards against the Cowboys, working as a big-play target as the only wide receiver with over 10 yards per reception in the loss. If Amari Cooper (ankle) remains out, next week against the Eagles is an intriguing matchup for Roberts, but there are probably  better FLEX options out there.

Cordarrelle Patterson gets two offensive touches against Dallas.

Patterson had a -4-yard carry along with a seven-yard reception. He also had a would-be kick return touchdown for 100 yards, but it was called back by a penalty. Patterson isn’t a recommended fantasy option, even if Amari Cooper (ankle) is out again next week.

Jalen Richard catches two passes in Week 15.

Richard gained 21 yards on his two receptions and did not receive any carries in the loss. The second-year back isn’t receiving enough touches to be trusted in fantasy lineups.

DeAndre Washington gets four touches in Raiders’ loss.

Washington had two carries for three yards and two receptions for 16 yards against Dallas. He’s not a fantasy option right now.

Marshawn Lynch gets 19 touches in Week 15.

Lynch gained 76 rushing yards on 16 attempts and added 16 receiving yards on three receptions. And Lynch was called for another moronic unsportsmanlike penalty at the end of the game. The Raiders probably wish they had gone a different direction at the running back position this year.

Derek Carr throws two touchdowns in close loss to Dallas.

The Raiders couldn’t get much going in the first half against the Cowboys, but they scored 17 second-half points in a three-point loss, almost certainly knocking them out of playoff contention. Late in the game, Carr scrambled for a would-be go-ahead touchdown but dove for the end zone and fumbled it out of the end zone for a touchback, a crushing end to the game. Overall, Carr was 21/38 for 171 yards and two touchdowns along with four carries for 47 yards, with both scores going to Michael Crabtree. Carr hit the 100-touchdown mark for his career in the loss, becoming the fifth quarterback in NFL history to hit that mark in his first four seasons. On Christmas night against the Eagles, Carr does have some upside after what Eli Manning just did to Philadelphia.

Noah Brown catches one pass against the Raiders.

Brown gained eight yards on his lone reception. He’s only a dynasty league option at the moment.
