Terrelle Pryor, QB Oakland Raiders Officially on the Fantasy Radar
Pryor Looking Sick
Byron Lambert, RosterWatch.com
Some Raiders fans just want to go “Flynn-For-Clowney” all season. Fair enough. Terrelle Pryor has thrown a wrench in those plans, though. He looked exceptional last night, in many ways Cam Newton-ish. Albeit, with a touch of wild inaccuracy. There are other reasons he should be the starter in the Oakland, though.
The offensive line is a doormat that requires a quarterback who can run for his life in order to even be a semi-functional offense. The whole team is void of playmakers. Pryor’s presence would certainly open things up for the Raiders supposed best player, Darren McFadden. Matt Flynn is awful and Pryor looks like a gamer.

We would love it if Al Davis’ final relic- such a controversial supplementary draft selection- turned out to be awesome.
How does this translate to fantasy football? We fully expect Pryor to be the starter very soon. At which point, he will land on our rankings and Draft Cheat Sheet in EJ Manuel territory. Which is pretty good. We’ve had Manuel fairly high on the radar for months. Not in Mike Vick- low-end QB1 / high-end B2 with big upside territory – but square in the middle of QB2 discussions. We’d give him a close look in upcoming 16-team drafts or Keeper leagues.
