JaMarcus Russell was an effective 12-of-18 for 153 yards on Saturday, but still took three sacks for a loss of 27 yards.
Our View: Russell is looking like he could be an effective game-management type quarterback for the Raiders this season, but is a bye week only option in almost every fantasy format.

Raiders | Russell officially named starter
David White, of the San Francisco Chronicle, reports Oakland Raiders head coach Tom Cable said QB JaMarcus Russell will be the team’s starting quarterback for the regular-season opener. Cable had hoped QB Jeff Garcia (calf) would push Russell to improve, but Garcia was unable to compete during training camp. Cable said, “I've said that it's his job and we'll see how it goes. Unfortunately, Jeff hasn't had much work. We've been fortunate in that JaMarcus has improved. It would have been nice to have someone really pushing him. Maybe we could get him to improve a little bit more.â€

News: JaMarcus Russell started slowly for Oakland in Saturday's preseason game against the 49ers, missing an open Darrius Heyward-Bey on third down of his first drive and tripping over Darren McFadden's feet on third down on the second drive. Russell found his groove later, starting with a 12-yard pass to Zach Miller. He completed an 11-yard swing pass to Justin Fargas and then got a 22-yard gain when Nate Clements was called for pass interference against Johnnie Lee Higgins. After a pair of penalties backed Oakland up, Russell took advantage of a miscommunication between Clements and Mark Roman to find a wide open Louis Murphy in the end zone on third-and-21 to end his night. That was Russell's only completion to a wide receiver all night. He finished 7-for-11 for 76 yards. [...]

JaMarcus Russell was o.k. in the Raiders' second preseason game on Saturday night, completing 7-of-11 passes for 76 yards and a score.
Our View: Russell has yet to look great this preseason, however, and with Jeff Garcia waiting in the wings in Oakland, is not a great fantasy value.

As expected, Jeff Garcia has returned to training camp with the Raiders Monday, according to Jerry McDonald's twitter page. It was not disclosed exactly why Garcia was away from the team.

JaMarcus Russell was solid in limited playing time in the Raiders' preseason opener Thursday night. Oakland's likely starter completed 6-of-9 passes for 50 yards, taking one sack.
Our View: He was the only Oakland QB not to throw for a touchdown, but he was also barley on the field. Thursday certainly didn't hurt his chances to be named the starter, so it probably helped them.

Raiders | Russell remains too inconsistent
David White, of The San Francisco Chronicle, reports Oakland Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell continued his ongoing trend Tuesday, Aug. 11, of following up a good practice with a pretty bad one. The team is looking for Russell to put together two consecutive good practices. Timing is a big issue for Russell, as the receivers are on time with their routes but Russell isn't always on time with his throw. He holds onto the football too long still, hoping his arm strength will buy him the extra second to deliver the football. Head coach Tom Cable said Russell needs to speed up and he keeps reminding his quarterback of that. Russell also had trouble getting the football to the receivers Tuesday. Of his 13 attempts to receivers, only three of them were completions.

JaMarcus Russell struggled in training camp Tuesday, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. He remains inconsistent, and head coach Tom Cable noted that he had timing issues hitting his targets today. He is holding on to the ball too long as well.
Our View: Russell remains the Raiders' No. 1 quarterback, especially with Jeff Garcia unable to practice with a strained calf. The rocket-armed quarterback does not look to be ready to trust as a fantasy starter in his third pro season in 2009.

Our View: This apparently doesn't have too many fantasy implications, as the 39-year-old super vet isn't expected to challenge JaMarcus Russell for the Raiders starting QB gig. Still, if Russell continues to struggle, it wouldn't be at all surprising for the team to change their mind.
