Reece caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Bears.
Reece was actually the Raiders third leading receiver in this game, but he's been very quiet over the last three games after catching two touchdowns in Week 1. He's a good pass-catcher out of the backfield but now that Roy Helu is healthy and in the mix, Reece will continue to see limited action.

Reece caught one pass on two targets for 16 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Ravens.
After catching two touchdowns during garbage time of the Week 1 opener, Reece was very quiet in the second game. He played just 10 of the 74 offensive snaps and only got two looks all day. Reece won't hold much fantasy value moving forward unless the Raiders were to sustain some injuries to the backfield.

Reece caught three passes for 26 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's Week 1 opener against the Bengals.
Reece caught two touchdowns from back-up quarterback Matt McGloin during garbage time of the 33-13 loss on Sunday. The sixth-year fullback has always been known as a solid receiver out of the backfield and he's considered a "do-it-all" type of player. Reece will likely see a few targets per game moving forward, but you certainly shouldn't expect touchdowns from him with any regularity.

Reece gained two yards on one carry and 12 yards on one reception in Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings.
Reece is arguably the most versatile fullback in the NFL, but with the Raiders set to rely on Latavius Murray and Roy Helu in their backfield, the 30-year-old may largely be limited to lead-blocking duties this season.

Reece caught 7-of-7 targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's upset win over the 49ers. He didn't make much of an impact as a rusher, carrying just two times for two yards.
Reece gave the Raiders the lead for good at 17-13, with a nice nine-yard touchdown grab late in the fourth quarter. He's been seeing more work as a receiver lately, setting a season high in receptions in back-to-back games. It would be surprising if he got a lot of work as a ball carrier, however, now that Latavius Murray (concussion), who had 23 rushes for 76 yards Sunday, is healthy.

Reece had four carries for 12 rushing yards and a season-high six catches on eight targets for a team-high 48 receiving yards Sunday against the Rams.
With Latavius Murray out with a concussion, the Raiders were expected to split the backfield work between Reece, Maurice Jones-Drew and Darren McFadden, though the latter finished with 11 carries versus nine for the other two backs. However, Reece made a difference in the passing game, though it still wasn't a huge impact in non-PPR leagues. Whether Murray comes back in Week 14 or not, the Raiders have a very tough matchup against a 49ers defense that is allowing the seventh-fewest rushing yards and third-fewest passing yards per game this season.
Sat Nov 29 201412:41Reece
Reece, Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew are all expected to see work Sunday against St. Louis with Latavius Murray (concussion) ruled out, the San Jose Mercury News reports.
Murray failed to pass the final stage of the league-mandated concussion protocol, potentially opening the door for Reece to see a significant workload against the Rams. Reece has fared well in the primary role when given the opportunity and helped lead the Raiders to their first win of the season in Week 12, totaling 45 yards on nine touches on the team's game-winning drive against Kansas City. Meanwhile, McFadden and Jones-Drew have 3.4 and 1.9 YPC this season, respectively, so while interim coach Tony Sparano said the carries will be doled out based on "flow" of the game and the situation, it seems likely Reece will see the lion's share of the touches.

Reece has likely earned more carries after his performance in Thursday's 24-20 win over the Chiefs, CSNBayArea.com reports.
Reece rushed for 37 yards on eight totes and added eight yards on one reception in the fourth quarter Thursday, exceeding his carry total from his first nine games of the season on one drive. It was key to the Raiders securing their first win of the season, and interim coach Tony Sparano said he was glad to see the tough running pay off and that he "can envision" going back to Reece in the future. Latavius Murray broke out in the first half before being forced from the game with a concussion, but it would make sense if the Raiders used a 1-2 punch of Murray and Reece moving forward and reduced the roles of Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew.

Reece had eight carries for 37 yards and one reception for eight yards in Thursday's 24-20 win over the Chiefs.
In addition to drawing five targets, Reece took most of the snaps at halfback in the fourth quarter, getting the nod over both Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew. Of course, it may very well have been Latavius Murray taking those snaps, if not for the fact that Thursday's breakout star suffered a concussion in the second quarter. Reece could perhaps challenge McFadden for touches, but the Raiders' larger focus will likely be on Murray, who now has 10 days to recover.
Sun Oct 26 201414:56Reece (quadriceps) active for Sunday's game against Browns
Reece (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Reece had 84 catches over the last two seasons, but his role as a pass-catcher seems to have faded in 2014 (just eight grabs in five games). He is not expected to be a major factor on offense against Cleveland.

Reece (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Reece remained limited in Friday's practice, but his ability to participate all week would suggest his chances of suiting up in Week 8 are at least slightly better than 50-50. That said, Reece has touched the ball just 11 times in five games so far this season, making him unworthy of serious consideration in most formats.
Thu Oct 23 201418:27Reece (quadriceps) limited participant in Thursday's practice
Reece (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
The fifth-year fullback appears headed for another questionable designation in Week 8, unless he's able to participate in full Friday. Reece, who is averaging just over two touches per game so far this season, was inactive last Sunday against San Diego, opening the door for Jamize Olawale to get the start for Oakland.
Wed Oct 22 201419:24Reece (quadriceps) practiced Wednesday
Reece (quadriceps) practiced Wednesday, ibabuzz.com reports.
Reece was held out of action this past week as a precautionary measure, but his presence at practice Wednesday bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Browns.
Sun Oct 19 201415:06Reece (quadriceps) inactive for Sunday's game against Cardinals
Reece (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Jamize Olawale is thus expected to start at fullback for the Raiders on Sunday, but he's not a fantasy consideration in Week 7, given the limited touches Reece has seen this season.

Reece (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Although Reece did not practice at all Wednesday or Thursday, he appears to still have a chance to suit up against Arizona after turning in a limited showing Friday. The 29-year-old has been an afterthought in the Raiders' offense this season, with just 11 touches through five games, and there's been nothing to suggest the team has plans to get him more involved. Jamize Olawale is expected to start at fullback if Reece cannot go.
Thu Oct 16 201416:38Reece (quadriceps) did not practice Thursday
Reece (quadriceps) did not practice Thursday, ESPN.com reports.
Friday for be a pivotal day for Reece, who missed practice both Wednesday and Thursday due to the quad issue, as he'll likely need to turn in at least a limited showing in order to play against Arizona. If Reece ends up sitting, look for Jamize Olawale to serve as the primary fullback, with Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew handling the bulk of the carries.
Wed Oct 15 201419:46Reece (quad) did not practice Wednesday
Reece (quad) did not practice Wednesday, ibabuzz.com reports.
To date, Reece has seen limited touches in the Raiders' offense and will remain off the fantasy radar unless that trend changes under interim coach Tony Sparano.

Reece carried the ball once for two yards and caught one pass on three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Chargers.
Two of quarterback Derek Carr's first five pass attempts went in Reece's direction, but he had a bad drop and only saw one look over the remainder of the game. Through five games this season, Reece has 56 yards on 11 touches, and it doesn't seem as though his role will increase under interim coach Tony Sparano.
Sun Oct 12 201414:43Reece (quadriceps) active for Sunday's game against Chargers
Reece (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Reece is used sparingly as a pass-catcher out of the backfield, but rarely does he make an impact large enough to generate much fantasy attention. His 26 yards in Week 3 were a season high.
Fri Oct 10 201417:37Although he's listed as questionable
Although he's listed as questionable, Reece (quadriceps) is expected to play Sunday against the Chargers, Steve Corkran of the Contra Costa Times reports.
Reece was limited in practice throughout the week due to the quad ailment, but it sounds like he'll be fine to serve in his typical role in Week 6. The Raiders' lone selection to the 2013 Pro Bowl, Reece has totaled just 43 yards on nine touches through four games this season, and it's uncertain whether interim coach Tony Sparano has any plans to increase his usage.
