Fantasy Football Sit/Start Projections, Week 14: Michael Bush Needs To Carry Oakland Raiders Offense

The Oakland Raiders travel to Lambeau Field on Sunday to face the undefeated Green Bay Packers in an incredibly tough matchup. The Packers are tough no matter what, but the Raiders will enter the game extremely short-handed, playing without Darren McFadden, Jacoby Ford, Denarius Moore and Taiwan Jones.

All of these absences place even more pressure on running back Michael Bush. The Raiders will need to control the clock to keep Aaron Rodgers and that explosive offense off the field. The Raiders best chance for an upset would likely include Bush handling a huge portion of the offense.

The Raiders will still need to get something going in the passing game. From a fantasy perspective, Darrius Heyward-Bey is likely to be Carson Palmer's primary target. Other receivers, and even Marcel Reece, are likely to see targets, but DHB seems the player likely to get the most consistent targets from Palmer. The Raiders are in an extremely tough position, but as they say, any given Sunday.......
