SUMMARY
Wide Receiver Rank: #100   
Overall: #288


Heyward-Bey improved on his dismal rookie season, but still wasn't a huge factor in the Raiders' passing game. He set career highs but finished with fewer than 400-receiving yards and just 26 receptions. Heyward-Bey flashed his potential, though, having a 100-yard game and another game with 80 yards but went without a catch six other games. The Raiders aren't giving up on Heyward-Bey and still like his upside, but he needs to start making his move this season. Heyward-Bey remains unpolished. His route running is erratic and drops continue to plague him. He remains a great straight-line runner, though, making him an exciting deep threat. Heyward-Bey has a chance to compete for the starting job, but nothing will be handed to him. He needs to take some big steps forward this season to earn that job.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Heyward-Bey could have the light go on this season, but that remains a bit of a long shot. A new head coach could help but expecting something more than 600 yards and a few scores is probably a little ambitious. Heyward-Bey is shaping up to be a big-time bust.
Oakland Raiders WR Darrius Heyward-Bey had a game-high nine receptions for 130 yards and a touchdown in Week 17 against the San Diego Chargers. Heyward-Bey finished just 25 yards short of his first 1,000-yard season. He had three touchdowns over his final five games, giving him four scores this season, and six for his career.

Oakland Raiders WR Darrius Heyward-Bey caught four passes for 70 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16.
Fantasy Impact: Heyward-Bey continues to play consistently down the stretch, becoming the top option in the passing game.

Oakland Raiders WR Darrius Heyward-Bey has 51 receptions, 775 yards and three touchdowns this season and would be the first wide receiver to lead the team in receptions and receiving yards since 2007. He also has decreased his dropped passes and caught more passes thrown to him.

Oakland Raiders head coach Hue Jackson said Monday, Dec. 19, that WR Darrius Heyward-Bey has the makings to be a star despite some inconsistency. 'What we're going to see is a guy who is a star,' Jackson said. 'I keep talking about the plays you have to make and he made some spectacular plays but again there are a couple of plays he wishes he had back too which would have changed the whole dynamics of the game.'
Fantasy Impact: He is a talented player but still lacks some consistency. He has been better this season, though.

Oakland Raiders WR Darrius Heyward-Bey had eight receptions for a career-high 155 yards and a touchdown in the Week 15 game against the Detroit Lions. It was just the second 100-yard game of the season for Heyward-Bey, and the first since Week 4.
Fantasy Impact: He has really had some big games this season but hasn't been too consistent. We aren't sure he builds on this.

Oakland Raiders WR Darrius Heyward-Bey had five receptions for 78 yards in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers, but he also had several dropped passes.
Fantasy Impact: Heyward-Bey played well enough for fantasy teams but you can see why the Raiders have made his role lesser the last few weeks. He is far from polished.
