Amari Cooper/Michael Crabtree (Wide Receivers): Amari Cooper has been starting to heat up over the last two games. Cooper is looking like the number 1 receiver Oakland has needed for quite some time so this matchup is an exciting one. Cooper should have his first breakout game against the Bears, the matchup is too good to pass up. The Bears secondary is atrocious and in what is looking more and more like a rebuilding season. Cooper should put up double digit fantasy points in this matchup. Crabtree has a good matchup as well and could see some big numbers against this struggling secondary.
Latavius Murray (Running Back): Murray has really come on in these last two games as the Raiders go to offensive playmaker. Murray should dominate the Bears defensive line and put up big numbers on what will surely be another bad performance by a struggling defense. Murray is a must start RB1 this week.
Chicago Bears
Matt Forte (Running Back): Forte had great numbers in week 1 but since then it has been nothing but bad luck. Forte lost his starting quarterback, who utilized him to his fullest potential, and also lost some defensive leaders as the Chicago roster turnover continues. In week 3 he faced a stiff Seahawks defense re-energized by the recent return of Kam Chancellor. Now Forte faces a very vulnerable Oakland defense that should have trouble stopping him in the open field. Forte is a solid start this week.
Alshon Jeffery (Wide Receiver): Jeffery has been limited in practice all week but remains on track to play in week 4. Jeffery should be a bit limited in the game depending on how his injury holds up throughout the weekend so his status should be checked before the game begins. If Jeffery is playing in full, he will get the lion's share of the targets for Chicago.
