Crabtree caught six-of-eight targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Crabtree led the team in targets on Sunday and he made the most of them as the Raiders destroyed the Chargers' defense from start to finish. The 7-year pro recorded his second touchdown of the year in the third quarter when he hauled in a bubble screen in the flat and then made two guys miss on his way to a 25 yard score. Crabtree is clearly one of the top two options as a receiver and he should be considered in the WR3 category based on his production up to this point. The Raiders get a difficult matchup against the Jets next week, which is bad news for Crabtree.

Crabtree caught four of his nine targets for 54 yards in Sunday's loss to Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Crabtree led the team in targets as the Broncos chose to double team Amari Cooper for much of the day. He seemed to get around fine after an ankle injury limited him throughout most of the week. He's the clear No.2 option in the Raiders passing game behind Cooper, and he should continue to see a consistent amount of targets moving forward. Crabtree sits on 27 catches for 318 yards and one touchdown. The Raiders get a date with San Diego in Week 6.

Crabtree (ankle) returned to practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
We'll have to see how the Raiders end up listing Crabtree on Friday's final injury report, but at this stage his return to practice Thursday suggests the the wideout should be a go Sunday against the Broncos.

Crabtree (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Crabtree was able to return to action in Week 4 against the Bears after hurting his ankle, so it's possible that his absence from practice Wednesday was simply maintenance-related.

Crabtree nabbed five catches off of six targets for 80 yards in Sunday's loss to Chicago. He briefly left the game with an ankle injury, ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crabtree eventually returned to action, which was good news for the Raiders, who are enjoying what could be a career year for Crabtree. Crabtree is currently on pace for 92 receptions and 1,056 yards, totals that would rank first and second, respectively, for his career. Despite the well-deserved praise rookie Amari Cooper has received, Derek Carr has also developed a rapport with Crabtree, his 23 catches and 39 targets both ranking just one behind the 2015 first-rounder.

Crabtree hauled in four of his nine targets for 36 yards in Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Crabtree received the second most targets on the team behind Amari Cooper's 11, and he remains the No. 2 option at wide receiver in the Raiders' offense. The 7-year veteran has now been targeted 33 times in the first three games which is great news for fantasy owners that drafted him in the later rounds. Crabtree will receive consistent looks from week-to-week and he should have a nice matchup in Week 4 against the Bears.

Crabtree grabbed nine of 16 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-33 upset win over the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Crabtree came alive in the second half, including his 29-yard touchdown at 2:12 of the third quarter. His whopping 16 targets were five more than rookie Amari Cooper, who finished with seven receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown. Derek Carr (thumb) looks healthy, after leaving the game in Week 1, so it will be interesting to see if Crabtree can rejuvenate his career in Oakland.
