Latest Updates |
  Kelly leaves Week 8 with hurt elbow
|
Updated 11/2/2009 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly injured his elbow Week 8 at San Diego and left the game. He recorded four solo tackles before leaving. | Analysis: As an interior lineman, Kelly is more of a space filler than a playmaker. He's not worth owning in Fantasy IDP leagues. |
|
Kelly should play with knee injury
|
Updated 12/19/2008 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: DL Tommy Kelly is listed as probable with a knee injury for Week 16 against the Texans. He should be good to go for the game. | Analysis: Kelly does all the little things on the Raiders' defensive line but doesn't necessarily get the kind of stats Fantasy owners are looking for. He is a low-end lineman for Week 16 against the Texans. |
 Kelly has 3 1/2 sacks in four games
|
Updated 11/30/2008 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly totaled four tackles (three solo) and one sack during a Week 13 loss to the Chiefs. He now has 4 1/2 sacks on the season and 3 1/2 in his last four games. | Analysis: Kelly is one of the league's top pass rushers at defensive tackle and is a good run stuffer as well. But since he doesn't always fill the stat sheet, Kelly remains just a low-end Fantasy DL. |
|
Kelly gets 1 1/2 sacks
|
Updated 11/16/2008 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly recorded six tackles and 1 1/2 sacks in a Week 11 loss to the Dolphins. | Analysis: Kelly has 3 1/2 sacks in his last five games, which is pretty solid output for a DL. Still, the veteran is a low-end IDP option and should not be starting in Week 12 at Denver. |

Raiders defenders rack up tackles
|
Updated 11/2/2008 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: Raiders LB Kirk Morrison (12 tackles), DB Gibril Wilson (11 tackles), DB Hiram Eugene (nine tackles), DB DeAngelo Hall (eight tackles), LB Thomas Howard (seven tackles), DL Tommy Kelly (seven tackles) and DB Nnamdi Asomugha (seven tackles) made the most of their excessive time on the field in a Week 9 24-0 loss to the Falcons. | Analysis: Morrison, Wilson and Hall are must-starts at their positions in IDP leagues, while Howard has some value as a low-end LB in deeper IDP formats. Eugene, Kelly and Asomughe have barely any value. Start only Morrison, Wilson and Kelly in Week 10 vs. the Panthers. |

Kelly opens 2008 sack account
|
Updated 10/19/2008 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: Raiders DL Tommy Kelly made his first sack of the season in a Week 7 win over the Jets. | Analysis: Kelly averaged four sacks over his first three seasons, so the talent is there, but he missed most of 2007 with a knee injury. Don't start him in Week 8 at Baltimore, but keep an eye on him. |

DE Kelly arrested for DUI
|
Updated 9/16/2008 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: Oakland Raiders defensive end Tommy Kelly was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Authorities say Kelly was booked at Oakland's Glenn E. Dyer Detention Facility on Monday and later released. Calls to the Raiders and Kelly's agent were not immediately returned. | Analysis: The Raiders signed Kelly to a $50.5 million contract this year even though the veteran defensive lineman was coming off a serious knee injury that cut his 2007 season short. Kelly had surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Kelly has minimal Fantasy value. Don't plan on using him in IDP leagues. |

Raiders pay DL Kelly
|
Updated 2/28/2008 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: According to the Contra Costa Times, the Raiders have made Tommy Kelly one of the highest paid defensive linemen in the league. Kelly signed the deal several hours before the start of free agency, and he will get paid $18.125 million in guaranteed money. If Kelly reaches the end of the contract, it would pay him $50.5 million over seven seasons. Kelly sustained an anterior cruciate ligament tear last season on Oct. 28 against Tennessee but was quickly off crutches and walking without a limp well before the end of the regular season. | Analysis: Kelly is a solid defensive lineman, but he has minimal Fantasy value. Don't plan on using him in IDP leagues, but he should be able to help Oakland's defense in 2008. |
 Run-stuffer Kelly done for 2007
|
Updated 10/31/2007 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: The Oakland Raiders have had trouble stopping the run all season. Now they have to fix that problem without their most consistent lineman. Tommy Kelly will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ligament in his right knee, the latest injury to hit Oakland's defensive line. Pro Bowl end Derrick Burgess missed two games earlier this season with a calf injury and tackle Gerard Warren is expected to miss his fourth straight game with an injured quadriceps Week 9 against Texans. Now it's Kelly who is out. "The train won't stop because he got hurt like that, so we have to keep going," defensive tackle Terdell Sands said. | Analysis: Kelly's play had impressed his teammates, with seven-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Warren Sapp predicting Kelly would be better than he has been by the end of his career. That's heady praise for a player who signed with the Raiders in 2004 as an undrafted and unheralded free agent from Mississippi State. Kelly had 27 solo tackles and one sack this season, moving back and forth between end and tackle with ease. He also came up with one of the biggest plays of the season for Oakland, blocking a potential winning 40-yard field goal attempt by Cleveland's Phil Dawson on Sept. 23. Now that Kelly is done for the season, ignore him in all Fantasy formats. |

DL Kelly has surgery, done for '07
|
Updated 10/31/2007 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: The Sacramento Bee reports that Raiders DL Tommy Kelly will have surgery to repair torn knee ligaments (MCL and ACL) and will miss the rest of the season. Rookie Jay Richardson will start in his place. | Analysis: Richardson won't produce enough stats on a weekly basis to warrant use in Fantasy play. Kelly should be cut in all leagues now that he's done for the year. |

Kelly sustains knee injury in Week 8
|
Updated 10/30/2007 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: Raiders DE Tommy Kelly injured his right knee in the third quarter of Week 8's 13-9 loss to the Tennessee Titans, according to the Contra Costa Times. "It doesn't sound good," Kiffin said Monday about the injury. "We'll know more Wednesday, but it doesn't sound good at this point." | Analysis: Kelly was a low-end IDP player before getting hurt, and it appears his knee injury might be a serious one. Keep an eye out for more news Wednesday about Kelly's diagnosis. |

DL Kelly gets sack
|
Updated 9/30/2007 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: Oakland DL Tommy Kelly had three tackles and a sack Sunday against Miami. | Analysis: Kelly is a low-end DL in IDP leagues and should not be used in Week 6 against San Diego following Oakland's bye week. |

Sapp praises teammate Kelly
|
Updated 9/27/2007 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: Warren Sapp has been to seven Pro Bowls, owns a world championship ring and is closing in on 100 career sacks. He thinks those numbers will pale in comparison to what his Oakland teammate Tommy Kelly can accomplish. For weeks, Sapp has been telling anyone who would listen that the Raiders' fourth-year defensive end is one of the best young players in the NFL. Kelly took a big step toward confirming that last week when he blocked a field goal as time expired against Cleveland, helping Oakland snap an 11-game losing streak dating to 2006. "He'll be better than me," Sapp said. "He'll have better numbers than me when his game's over. ... I know him. This kid's picking up everything you could possibly imagine. His game has just evolved." | Analysis: It was the first blocked kick of Kelly's career, moving him one step closer to Sapp in a career that already has striking similarities. Through their first three years in the NFL, both players had comparable numbers. Sapp made 37 starts, 146 tackles, 22 1/2 sacks and five forced fumble; Kelly made 31 starts, 133 tackles, 12 sacks and six forced fumbles. But while Sapp played one position -- defensive tackle -- Kelly has moved from nose guard to tackle to end and played all three with equal success. Kelly has 13 tackles through three games, but zero sacks. He has a lot of potential, but right now is nothing more than a low-end Fantasy DL. |

Oakland's Kelly to start at DE
|
Updated 8/28/2007 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: Raiders coach Lane Kiffin named DL Tommy Kelly the team's starting right defensive end Monday. | Analysis: Kelly should be considered a low-end DL in IDP leagues and a decent reserve to be picked up during the season. |

DL Kelly among the actives
|
Updated 12/17/2006 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: Tommy Kelly (knee) is not among the inactives for Week 15 against the Rams. | Analysis: Despite the fact he played, he is not a recommended Fantasy option in IDP leagues. |

Raiders list Week 15 injuries
|
Updated 12/13/2006 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: Raiders DL Lance Johnstone (knee) is out, WR Jerry Porter (hip) is doubtful, while DL Thomas Kelly (knee) is probable for Week 15 vs. St. Louis. | Analysis: None of these players are recommended Fantasy options at this time. |
|
Raiders D help team out
|
Updated 12/3/2006 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: Notable Raiders defenders from Week 13 include: LB Thomas Howard (10 total tackles), DL Tommy Kelly (seven total tackles, sack, forced fumble), LB Kirk Morrison (six total tackles, fumble recovery for a touchdown), DL Terdell Sands (four solo tackles, sack), DE Derrick Burgess (four total tackles, 1.5 sacks, forced fumble) and DL Warren Sapp (four total hits, sack, forced fumble). | Analysis: Of these players, Howard, Morrison and Burgess are must-starts at Cincinnati in Week 14. |

Raiders limit S.D. to 260 yards
|
Updated 11/26/2006 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: The Raiders gave up just 260 total yards and 21 points against the Chargers in Week 12. DL Derrick Burgess and DL Thomas Kelly both had 1/2 sack. While DB Nnamdi Asomugha had an interception. | Analysis: The Raiders defense have now had four straight solid defensive performances and are starting to turn heads. They are still considered a low-end Fantasy DST, but they could be viewed as a one-week sleeper DST against the Texans in Week 13. Burgess and Asomugha are both solid Fantasy options in IDP leagues. |

Raiders defense gets two TDs
|
Updated 10/29/2006 |
| Tommy Kelly, DT OAK | |
| News: DB Nnamdi Asomugha returned an interception 24 yards for a touchdown and DB Chris Carr returned one 100 yards for a touchdown as the Raiders upset the Steelers 20-13 in Week 8. The Steelers racked up 360 yards but could not overcome four interceptions thrown by QB Ben Roethlisberger. DB Fabian Washington and LB Kirk Morrison had the other interceptions. The Raiders defense also harrassed Roethlisberger for five sacks on the day. DL Derrick Burgess had 2 1/2 to run his total to 7 1/2 on the season. DL Thomas Kelly had 1 1/2 sacks and DL Warren Sapp had the other. Asomugha and Morrison both led the team in tackles with nine. | Analysis: Don't get too excited. This is by far the best performance the Raiders defense has turned in this season. They do have the league's best pass defense, but somehow they still managed to get beat on a weekly basis. They are worth keeping an eye on, but they are not a recommended Fantasy DST for Week 9 against the Seahawks. Asomugha has turned into a surprising IDP player and could be used as a viable No. 2 or No. 3 DB. Morrison and Burgess as solid Fantasy uses. While Sapp and Kelly are marginal Fantasy players and should be used when the matchup is favorable. Carr and Washington are not recommended IDP players. |
