Roberts caught three of six targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 40-33 loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts was on the field for 78 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps, but Jordy Nelson and Marcell Ateman saw quite a bit more involvement on the outside as the duo combined for 12 catches on 15 targets for 113 yards and a score. Additionally, Roberts' ceiling was capped by the target share and production from tight end Jared Cook and running back Jalen Richard. Roberts' consistent level of mediocrity binds his fantasy intrigue to deeper leagues, especially given the fact he's been held out of the end zone for five consecutive contests.

Roberts caught two of three targets for 54 yards and rushed for 11 yards on one carry in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts was finally able to surpass the 50-yard mark for the first time this season thanks in part to a 44-yard reception, but he's failed to find the end zone in four consecutive contests. Additional opportunities should arise in Week 13 against the Chiefs with fellow receivers Jordy Nelson (knee), Martavis Bryant (knee) and Brandon LaFell (Achilles) tending to injuries of varied significance.

Roberts caught four of seven targets, putting up 38 receiving yards during Sunday's 23-21 win against Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts was as involved as he's been all year, tying a season-high with seven targets against Arizona, and in a longer-term perspective collecting four or more targets in four of his past six outings. Roberts is seeing amplified opportunity with a plethora of injuries to the Oakland receiving corps, but he's no more than a WR4 opposing a Ravens defense that allows just 205.4 passing yards per game (second-best in the NFL).

Roberts is expected to serve as one of the Raiders' primary receivers in Sunday's game against the Cardinals with both Jordy Nelson (knee) and Martavis Bryant (knee) ruled out for the contest, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts will likely be joined in three-wideout sets by Brandon LaFell and Marcell Ateman, while tight end Jared Cook and running back Jalen Richard may also benefit from added volume in the passing game to compensate for the absence of Nelson in particular. Regardless of how the distribution of targets shake out among the wideouts, none profile as much more than a dart throw in fantasy lineups against a competent Arizona pass defense. A slot specialist, Roberts has rarely flashed much big-play ability, topping out at 43 receiving yards across his eight appearances in 2018.

Roberts caught three passes on as many targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts was on the field for less than 30 offensive snaps for the first time since Week 5, but still managed to salvage a 39-yard performance while the Raiders' offense continued to struggle. Both Jordy Nelson and Martavis Bryant are now being evaluated for knee injuries, however, so Roberts could see additional targets next week against the Cardinals.

Roberts caught one of two targets for eight yards in Thursday's 34-3 loss to the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts had averaged nearly six targets per game in the Raiders' previous three contests, but was generally uninvolved Thursday night as the offensive line failed to protect quarterback Derek Carr. Roberts continues to start in the slot while Jordy Nelson and Brandon LaFell man the outside, but the former has been touchdown dependent from a fantasy perspective.

Roberts caught two of four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-28 loss to the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts handled a 60 percent snap share as the No. 3 wide receiver, landing far behind Brandon LaFell (92 percent) and Jordy Nelson (90 percent) but well ahead of Martavis Bryant (14 percent). There wasn't any noticeable role change for Roberts in the first game without Amari Cooper, as LaFell handled all of the vacated snaps. Roberts' average of 4.3 targets per game outweighs any potential appeal of a favorable Thursday matchup with the 49ers.

Roberts (concussion) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts after practicing fully Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts, who caught nine of 13 targets for 72 yards over his last two games, isn't the flashiest fantasy option, but he's worth a look in deeper formats now that Amari Cooper is no longer in the Raiders' pass-catching mix. In that context, Jordy Nelson will remain a starter, while Martavis Bryant is also a candidate to see added opportunities with Cooper -- who averaged a tick over five targets per game -- no longer atop the team's depth chart.

Roberts (concussion) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roberts remains in the concussion protocol as the Raiders come out of a bye week, but he still has a few days to gain clearance ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Colts. He could take on some more snaps and targets with Amari Cooper now longer in the picture, though Martavis Bryant seems like the better bet to handle a good chunk of Cooper's vacated workload.

Roberts (concussion) returned to the practice field Monday, Jerry McDonald of The Oakland Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
There is still no word on whether Roberts passed concussion protocol testing, which would need to be done before the wideout returns to game action. However, with Amari Cooper now headed to Dallas, Roberts could find himself in an expanded offensive role when he returns.
