Oakland Raiders

Amari Cooper/Michael Crabtree (Wide Receivers):  The Broncos give up the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers, it's just a fact and is unlikely to change anytime soon. Cooper in their last meeting in week 5 caught all four of his targets for 47 yards while Crabtree hauled in 4 out of 9 targets for 54 yards. Crabtree is seeing 30 targets in the last 3 games but 100 targets would not make a difference against this defense.

Latavius Murray (Running Back): The Broncos give up the 15th fewest fantasy points to running backs and Murray is not exactly the most dominant back in the NFL. Murray has been struggling as of late and without last week's good showing owners would still be contemplating sitting him. This week he should definitely be sat as the last time he faced the Broncos he recorded 39 yards on 13 rushing attempts.

 

Denver Broncos

Demaryius Thomas/Emmanuel Sanders (Wide Receivers): Thomas and Sanders have tough work ahead of them as they are facing a defense that gives up the 15th fewest fantasy points to wide receivers. In the last game Murray and Thomas mildly produced, Thomas somewhat underwhelmed. Thomas finished the week 5 clash catching 5 of 8 targets for 55 yards and Sanders hauled in 9 of 12 for 111 yards.

Ronnie Hillman/C.J. Anderson (Running Backs): Anderson currently has a sore ankle so he is questionable for this week 14 matchup. Both of them had terrible games the first time these teams faced however the Raiders now give up the 14th most fantasy points to running backs.
