Raiders coach Hue Jackson attributed Darrius Heyward-Bey's reduced Week 9 role to certain "sets" in which Heyward-Bey was not involved. Heyward-Bey entered the game as Oakland's best receiver for the past month, so it was surprising to see him with scant playing time against the Broncos. He didn't catch a pass and was targeted just once. Jacoby Ford started over Heyward-Bey opposite Denarius Moore. We suspect something other than offensive "sets" was up with Heyward-Bey. His fantasy value is tenuous.

Glad to see I'm not the only one he screwed yesterday

I had DHB in a few lineups and it cost me too. The Defense is what cost the Raiders the game. DHB worked out during the lockout with Jason Campbell, and they had a nice thing going. Jackson probably thinks Moore and Ford are better going forward with Palmer. Then you throw TJ in there, with Shilens, Murphy, Reece, Myers and the RB's and what you have is zero fanatsy relevant Raider recievers.

WTF!!!!!!! WHY NOT PLAY HIM?????? BEST RECIEVER ON THE TEAM. COULD POSSIBLY COST ME A BIG WIN THIS WEEK. COACH IS MAKING IT HARD FOR US TO KEEP ON PLAYING HIM

wtf. gonna cost me a victory. finally decide to play DHB this week and Hue Jackson decides NOT to play him. If you're not gonna play him for disciplinary reasons Hue, give us a heads up. Seriously.

bigdaddy33 Mon 11/7/11 12:15 AM

who does that? Best WR on the team and for the past month? and you did put him into your game place???

wtf.....probably why Hue Jackson is coaching a 4-4 team instead of 5-3 team... dumbass

definite cover-up job by Hue Jackson. If taking DHB out of sets is a great game plan in his mind, then he will be out of a job sooner than later.

Would have been nice to have some warning about this. He looked like Palmer's favorite target, and then to only be thrown at one time? Seriously?

JimsBrowns Sun 11/6/11 11:22 PM

Agreed. Now I don't know what to do with him. Dump him or hold on. These coaches cannot make up their minds who their playmakers are...F*&K

JimsBrowns Sun 11/6/11 11:24 PM

AND I started him over Julio Jones because Jones was coming back from injury. Lost my game because of it!!! argh!!!
