| Tue Sep 13 2011 | 02:34 | Marcel Reece shows explosiveness, catches TD | ||||
Marcel Reece rushed once for 11 yards and caught three passes for 23 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Broncos. | ||||||
His touchdown came on a 3-yard reception. The explosive fullback is a fun piece for Hue Jackson's offense, but isn't worth owning in fantasy leagues. That being said, he'll see some value if Darren McFadden goes down for an extended period of time with an injury. | ||||||

| Sun Dec 19 2010 | 21:06 | Reece busts out for long TD catch in Week 15 | ||||
Raiders FB Marcel Reece caught two balls on six targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in addition to three rushes for nine yards in a Week 15 win over visiting Denver. | ||||||
Reece's inflated stats can be attributed to a blown coverage in the Denver secondary on a fourth-quarter 73-yard touchdown catch-and-run. Otherwise, he had another target picked off by Renaldo Hill, and the talented fullback played the goat on an illegal formation penalty that nullified a 30-yard touchdown pass to Zach Miller. Although Reece has serious explosiveness for a fullback, his production is too fluky for him to be trusted in the fantasy playoffs. | ||||||
| Sun Oct 31 2010 | 23:09 | Marcel Reece totals 122 yards in Week 8 | ||||
Raiders FB Marcel Reece ran twice for 32 yards and caught three passes for 90 yards and a touchdown in Week 8. | ||||||
Reece has scored a touchdown in back-to-back weeks, so it's probably time he got his own Rotoworld blurb. Far and away the most athletic fullback in the NFL, Reece goes 6-foot-3, 240 with sub-4.5 speed. Reece doesn't get enough weekly touches to qualify as a fantasy starter, but he's emerged as a real boon to Oakland's offense. He scored on a 30-yard strike from Jason Campbell on a fourth-and-one play in Sunday's win over the Seahawks. | ||||||
