Should Raiders RB Devontae Booker be in your starting lineups in Week 13?

Could the Raiders target DT Leonard Williams in free agency?
The Raiders tried to upgrade their interior defensive line this season, adding veteran Maliek Collins in free agency. The hope was that between Collins and Maurice Hurst, the two would generate enough pressure inside to create problems for opposing offenses. Unforurtantely, that hasn’t been the case as Collins is currently grading out as one of the league’s worst interior … [Read more...] about Could the Raiders target DT Leonard Williams in free agency?
Raiders place DT Maliek Collins on injured reserve

According to Jon Gruden, Collins has been … [Read more...] about Raiders place DT Maliek Collins on injured reserve
