Kevin Boss was held to two receptions for 32 yards against the Chargers in Week 10.

Boss rejoined the starting lineup this week, but he saw fewer targets than No. 2 tight end Brandon Myers. Carson Palmer has never been fond of incorporating tight ends, so expect Boss' role to continue to wane.

Kevin Boss expressed surprise and called it a "coaches' decision" when asked Monday why he was benched for Brandon Myers in Week 9.

Coach Hue Jackson attributed Boss' decreased playing time to more three-receiver and two-running back formations, but Myers ultimately saw more snaps than Boss. "I think things will work itself out," said Boss. "I feel confident that I'll get back out there and continue to do what I've done in the past."

Raiders TE Kevin Boss barely got on the field in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.

Boss' concussion was not an issue, but the Raiders' curious personnel choices were. He and Darrius Heyward-Bey were left as innocent bystanders on the sideline for the vast majority of the game. Coach Hue Jackson said Boss didn't play because they chose to go with a lot of three-receiver, two-running back sets. He signed a four-year, $16 million contract with the Raiders in August.

Raiders TE Kevin Boss (concussion) has resumed practicing fully.

He'll start against the Broncos. Boss has appeared in five games this season, but has just eight catches for 160 yards and a touchdown. With bye weeks slowing down in the NFL, Boss isn't worth a roster spot in 12-team leagues.

Kevin Boss (concussion) was at Raiders practice Monday.

Boss sustained the fourth concussion of his career in Week 7, but apparently used the bye week to get medically cleared. The ex-Giant has eight catches in five games on the season, including a touchdown on a fake field goal.

Kevin Boss left Sunday's game against the Chiefs in the second half with an apparent concussion.

Boss caught an 11-yard pass from Carson Palmer, went to turn upfield, and got absolutely licked. It's a familiar sight for Boss, who previously suffered three concussions during his NFL career. He went to the locker room for further testing.

Kevin Boss caught four passes for 78 yards against the Patriots in Week 4.Z

Boss caught four of his five targets, including a couple of tough receptions in traffic. He's more valuable to the Raiders as a blocker than a receiver, so we wouldn't expect a repeat of this performance against the Texans next week.

Kevin Boss caught two passes for 36 yards in Week 3 against the Jets.

Boss reeled in both of his targets. His 36 yards were good enough to lead the team in receptions, a majority of which came on a 28-yard catch that almost took him into the endzone. Boss remains nowhere near the fantasy radar yet.

Kevin Boss (knee) has resumed practicing fully.

Boss sat out Oakland's first two games after spraining his knee in the preseason, but will make his Raiders debut this weekend barring a setback. Although he's obviously behind schedule as he attempts to get up to speed in his new home, he could draw a healthy amount of targets against the Jets with the Raiders' receiver corps currently decimated by injury.

Kevin Boss (knee) said he felt healthy enough to play in Sunday's loss to the Bills.

Boss was held out as a precaution by the coaching staff. He'll almost certainly make his Raiders debut this week, but isn't near the fantasy radar yet.

Raiders TE Kevin Boss (knee) confirmed that he will play in Week 2.

Boss' return should come in handy as a blocker on outside runs for Darren McFadden and perhaps some Michael Bush. Boss isn't a Week 2 fantasy option.

Kevin Boss (knee) was limited again on Thursday.

Coach Hue Jackson "hopes" to have Boss available against the Bills this week. He won't be a fantasy option after missing more than three weeks of practice.

Kevin Boss (knee) returned to Raiders practice on Wednesday.

It's Boss' first practice with Jason Campbell since August 20. He's probably going to play against the Bills, but the tight end and his quarterback don't figure to be on the same page right away. Boss is a low-end TE2 fantasy option.

Kevin Boss (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Broncos.

It's a blow to the Raiders offense, but one fantasy owners should have seen coming. The former Giant could eventually turn into a solid TE in Hue Jackson's tight end friendly offense, but the position is so deep that Boss shouldn't even be rostered at this point. Brandon Myers is listed as next in line to start on the depth chart.

Kevin Boss (knee) was again absent from Raiders practice on Saturday.

He won't be active on Monday against the Broncos, and isn't a guarantee to be ready for Week 2. Boss' upside is higher in Oakland than it was in New York, but he's not worth a roster spot in any format right now.

Kevin Boss (knee) is "unlikely" to be active against the Broncos on Monday.

Boss has yet to practice this week, and has been sidelined since the Raiders' second preseason game. Brandon Myers will start in his place. Boss should eventually be a solid TE2 in Oakland's tight end friendly offense, but can be safely ignored in fantasy leagues for the time being.

Kevin Boss (knee) missed practice again on Thursday.

Boss is unlikely to suit up against the Broncos Monday night. Brandon Myers is his backup, but he's not a fantasy option.

Kevin Boss (knee) missed Raiders practice Wednesday.

Oakland beat writers have already confirmed that Boss' status for Week 1 is in doubt. He's going to start the season slowly and is off the fantasy radar.

Coach Hue Jackson confirmed that Kevin Boss (knee) is in doubt for Week 1.

The Raiders kept four tight ends on their final roster, a sure sign that they are worried about Boss' MCL sprain. He's not a TE2 option to begin the year, especially with players such as Lance Kendricks and Evan Moore possibly available on your waiver wire.

Raiders TE Kevin Boss revealed that his knee injury is an MCL sprain.

Boss is able to do light jogging and continues to target Week 1 for his return. "It could have been a lot worse," he said. "Luckily my leg wasn't planted." Boss was injured just two weeks after signing with the Raiders, costing him a chance to form chemistry with Jason Campbell. The 27-year-old tight end may emerge on the TE2 radar eventually, but we'd expect a slow start.
