![]() His first catch was the biggest play on the Raiders touchdown drive. He had a four catches in this game on six targets. Making the Baller list twice in a row is quite an accomplishment for Denarius, who is known for being on again, off again. This performance helps give the Raiders some comfort with Darren McFadden looking like he will miss some time with a hamstring strain. This included a key reception on the Raiders' only touchdown drive that went for 12 yards on third and 8 to keep the drive alive. He had 8 catches on 8 targets for 71 yards to lead all receivers for both teams. There was a second punt which he said he grazed as it left the punter's foot.Īlso helping him earn the best performance was his being the Raiders' leading receiver. The Redskins punted a total of seven times in the game and Jennings was close to blocking nearly every one of them. It was a great start to spot the offense a touchdown early on. Jennings makes top Baller first of all for the play he made to block the Redskins punt that was recovered for the Raiders' first touchdown. But that's not what makes him top Baller this week. As evidenced by his being stopped behind the line just once in the game on 23 touches. Though he had just 3.0 yards per carry behind this suspect interior line, he consistently made something from nothing and positive yardage from negative. Jennings came in for Darren McFadden and played very well. Here are the solid performances as well as those who collapsed. There were many mistakes made and most of them were made by the Raiders as they missed a real opportunity and fall to 1-3 on the season. It was not a good looking game to be honest. They too scored a non-offensive touchdown by returning an interception for a score. ![]() The Redskins offense wasn't exactly prolific. The first touchdown was courtesy of a blocked punt recovered for a touchdown. The Raiders offense had a total of one scoring drive in the game. They fell behind 14-0 early to the Raider but rode out the storm and let the Raiders shoot themselves in the foot the rest of the game to pull out the win. His Week 8 performance was the seventh game in his young career in which he's averaged at least 19 yards per catch.Įxpect Moore to be a more focal facet of his team's respectable aerial attack over the second half of the season.Įven when Oakland isn't competitive, all it'll take is one or two plays for Moore to piece together a fine afternoon in the fantasy realm.The winless Redskins came to Oakland Sunday and walked out winless no more. Sure, a huge game against the Chiefs' ravaged secondary isn't the most difficult feat to accomplish, but his knack to hit the huge play isn't an aberration. Moore has at least eight targets in the six games he's played in this season and has caught a touchdown in each of the last three weeks. Moore caught 33 passes and five touchdowns on 76 targets for 618 yards in 2011, and already has 26 grabs, 416 yards and four scores on 51 targets this year-he's clearly becoming a more well-rounded wideout and his athleticism and speed isn't going anywhere.īecause he's incrementally developing in the separation and route-running department, Oakland hasn't shied away from featuring him on a more frequent basis. He's a bit slender at 6'0'' and 190 pounds, yet that appears to be the ideal playing weight for the downfield burner.īecause he's still relatively raw in terms of route-running and the ability to get open on intermediate routes, the Raiders have intelligently incorporated him into the offense with a multitude of simple short screens or, conversely, go-routes to maximize his natural speed.
