Can Herbert with no O-Line return to early season form?
I kinda wonder if the Chip Kelly firing gives the Raiders a bit of a temporary boost this week. Not enough to win, but enough to not be a pushover. I think both teams QBs are in for a lot of sacks. IDP players are gonna be really with Maxx Crosby, Khalil Mack, and Tuli Tuipulotu.
I think goal #1 for the Raiders is gonna be get Ashton Jeanty going. and honestly, I think they'll be able to. I think pound Jeanty to set up PA to Bowers is gonna be the gameplan, the Chargers likely know that, but will they stop it?
I think Herbert will need to be running this week, but that may be good for his fantasy value. Raiders are particularly vulnerable to mobile QBs. No Omarion Hampton return this week, I think Kimani Vidal could have 1 last top-10 fantasy week. I think they'd be wise to keep him involved when Hampton returns. One thing the Raiders really suck at, is covering seam stretchers. Oronde Gadsden could really eat this week if Herbert has time to throw. I'll go out on a limb and say Gadsden is the Chargers leading receiver this week, though maybe McConkey edges him out in full PPR. I like Gadsden more for yards/TD.

Chargers off their bye
Made a change to their depleted o-line that could help a bit
I think The Home Team's defense wins the day in this one
With the way he's run this year if Justin has time to throw he could be fantasy gold this week
Raiders give a good effort but off their bye I think The Home Team takes it
so...

No, but they better get it close to that against the Raiders as their finish to the season is brutal (PHI, KC, DAL, HOU, DEN). Looking like a possible lost season for the talented Chargers who have had some crucial injuries that may be too much to overcome. Really would had loved to see this offense all year with healthy protection.
The schedule appears tough
But right now Philly and KC are winnable games
Win today and a three game win streak is not out of the question
beef
Footballguy
I see you only listed the Chargers defensive scoring. What about the offense?
King of the Jungle
Footballguy
I do agree, but if they continue to protect like they did in the Jaguar game the Raiders have a shot at keeping this close. PHI/KC are beatable but also still plus opponents.
joey
Footballguy
lol. True that that TD might be enough points to be these Raiders.

Ugh…every week…this season is brutal.

Yeah that hit by Chinn was ... oof. The way his hand slammed on the turf after the hit, I'm not sure we see Herbert anymore this game.
EDIT: Whoops, there he is,

Bad Interception for the Bolts, chance to open the game up and make it two scores, Raiders thus far have shown very little on offense

It's only week 13. Give them a few more weeks to hit their stride.

Of course not.

Epidemic in the NFL, head coaches afraid to kick field goals and extend leads
Especially against the raiders. Against a great offense, sure good spot to go for it.

Is Vidal that fast or did the Raiders look like they were giving a poor effort on this long TD run?
Ministry of Pain

Vidal now has 15/96/TD and sure a lot of it was on the TD run but now it's 2nd Half, Herbert and the passing game have struggled, you risk Herbert being sacked and further injured
Pound the ball and take every point you can put on the scoreboard, FGs are your friends with a 7-pt lead in hand

Not sure how I feel about Maxx shoving Herbert down to the ground after the play was over
Not sure how I feel about Herbert running up to Maxx and screaming right into his face
