NFL News NFL News, Reports and UpdatesNFL: Los Angeles Chargers at Las Vegas Raiders
I have only included players who are rostered in less than 50 percent of Yahoo fantasy football leagues. A player’s roster percentage will appear in parentheses next to their name. Denny Carter is mercifully handling the kicker section of this article which will be added Tuesday mornings. Updates from Monday Night Football will be added on Tuesday mornings as well. Be sure to check out the Waiver Wire Q&A Monday at 6PM ET.
Quarterback
Jake Browning, Bengals (47%)

Jacob was listed as questionable last week but did not practice at all, so he appears to be a true coin-flip for the Raiders’ upcoming game.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Chiefs (40%)
Edwards-Helaire saw the bulk of the carries and ran more routes than Jerick McKinnon in Week 15. He finished the…
