Michael Crabtree

Week 16 at Philadelphia Eagles

The Raiders go cross-country for a Christmas night battle with the Eagles. Amari Cooper may be back this week, but Crabtree should still see double-digit targets in a machup that should produce negative game script. The Eagles are only around league average in aFPA against WRs. Consider Crabtree a WR2, at worst, for Week 16.

Week 14 at Kansas City Chiefs

Do you like targets? Well, Amari Cooper is likely out this week, and Michael Crabtree is back from suspension against the No. 31 ranked defense in aFPA versus WRs. How do you like them targets? The Chiefs-Raiders game also has the second-highest over/under in Vegas for Week 14. All signs point to a heavy workload for Crabtree, who also won't have to face CB Marcus Peters (team suspension). He's no worse than a top-15 play this week.

Week 11 vs. New England Patriots (game in Mexico City)

Michael Crabtree has been out-targeted by Amari Cooper 38 to 21 over the past three games, which is concerning, but the Week 11 matchup in Mexico is too good to ignore. The Patriots are just 29th in our aFPA vs. WR rankings and, overall, have allowed the third-most PPR points to the position. Crabtree is a solid start this week due to the matchup and his red zone usage.
