Battered Frye out in second half Battered Frye out in second half Updated 1/3/2010
Charlie Frye, QB OAK
News: Raiders QB Charlie Frye, making his third straight start in place of injured Bruce Gradkowski, had a good first half Week 17 against the Raiders, completing 18 of 25 passes for 180 yards and a touchdown. He left the game at halftime, though, with back and ankle injuries. Analysis: Frye actually looked like a legitimate NFL quarterback against one of the better defenses in the league, but he took so many hits he had to come out at halftime. The former Browns starter is destined to spend the rest of his career as a reserve, so don't expect to see him starting for the Raiders or any other team in 2010. He should go undrafted in Fantasy.
Gradkowski out, Frye likely starting Gradkowski out, Frye likely starting Updated 1/1/2010
Charlie Frye, QB OAK
News: Oakland QB Bruce Gradkowski (knees) has been ruled out of the team's Week 17 game against Baltimore. Charlie Frye is expected to get the start for the third week in a row. Analysis: Gradkowski played well in his limited chances this season but his season is now over. Unless he has a starting gig in 2010, which is unlikely, he will go undrafted in most leagues. Frye is not a recommended Fantasy option outside of the deepest of formats.
Frye intercepted three times in Week 16 Frye intercepted three times in Week 16 Updated 12/27/2009
Charlie Frye, QB OAK
News: Raiders QB Charlie Frye threw for 333 yards in Week 16 at Cleveland, but he did not throw a touchdown pass and intercepted three times. He also rushed twice for 13 yards. Analysis: Frye completed 26 of 45 passes against his former team and had a somewhat productive game outside of the interceptions, though he couldn't lead his team on a single touchdown drive. Frye is not a recommended Fantasy QB in any league for Week 17 against the Ravens.
Frye will start for Raiders Frye will start for Raiders Updated 12/23/2009
Charlie Frye, QB OAK
News: Oakland Raiders quarterback Charlie Frye has been cleared to play after sustaining a concussion against Denver last week and will start Sunday's game against his former team, the Browns. After undergoing a series of tests this week, Frye was cleared by team doctors and practiced without restrictions all week. Analysis: Even as the starting quarterback for the Raiders, Frye really has no Fantasy value. Start him only as a last-minute, last-ditch, injury-replacement option.
Frye unlikely to get nod Week 15 Frye unlikely to get nod Week 15 Updated 12/21/2009
Charlie Frye, QB OAK
News: A late-game comeback against the rival Denver Broncos looked as if it could be just the springboard JaMarcus Russell needed to get his struggling career back on track. The problem is it might not even get him his starting job with the Oakland Raiders back. A day after Russell threw the game-winning touchdown pass with 35 seconds left in a 20-19 victory over the Broncos, coach Tom Cable said he would wait until Wednesday to announce his starting quarterback for this week's game in Cleveland. Bruce Gradkowski would get the nod if he has recovered from his two sprained knees, and Charlie Frye would be next up assuming he gets over the concussion that knocked him out Sunday and gave Russell the chance to lead the comeback. Cable wasn't exactly gushing Monday in responding to a question about whether Russell's game-winning drive proved that he can still be the quarterback to lead the Raiders in the future. "There were some things in that game yesterday that he could have taken advantage of, before that last throw, or the last couple of throws and all that, would have really put that, in my mind, to make that kind of statement," Cable said. Analysis: Cable called Frye the second option behind Gradkowski but both players depend on their healthy for their status this week in Cleveland. Frye seems a long shot as it isn't usual to return from a concussion one week after it happened. He'd not be worth using in Fantasy play, anyway, in Cleveland.
Frye knocked out of Week 15 Frye knocked out of Week 15 Updated 12/20/2009
Charlie Frye, QB OAK
News: Raiders QB Charlie Frye left Week 15 at Denver in the fourth quarter after taking a blow to the head from linebacker Andra Davis. Frye threw for just 68 yards and an interception before exiting the game. Analysis: Frye seemed to be suffering from an apparent concussion, but he remained on the sideline. For Frye, his first start of the season did not go anything like he would have expected. He should remain sidelined in all leagues even if he is able to play against his former team in Cleveland in Week 16. His upside is extremely limited.
Frye will start at QB for Oakland Frye will start at QB for Oakland Updated 12/16/2009
Charlie Frye, QB OAK
News: Raiders head coach Tom Cable told Denver reporters Wednesday that QB Charlie Frye, not JaMarcus Russell, will start the team's Week 15 game at the Broncos. Starter Bruce Gradkowski has a knee injury that will sideline him for possibly the rest of the season. Frye has been the Raiders' third-string quarterback this year. "It will be good to get back out there with the offense and run some plays that aren't on cards," Frye joked. "I've got a lot of fire in me. I've been that crutch and that supportive guy all season, so now it's my turn to be the fiery leader." Analysis: Neither Raiders QB is worth starting in Fantasy, especially in this impossible matchup, so this shouldn't impact any Fantasy owners. But with Russell passed over for Frye, and with the team reportedly signing J.P. Losman, the future is not bright for the former No. 1 overall draft pick.
Raiders' QB situation up in air Raiders' QB situation up in air Updated 12/14/2009
Charlie Frye, QB OAK
News: Bruce Gradkowski is doubtful to start at quarterback for the Oakland Raiders this week because of sprained ligaments in both knees. Coach Tom Cable said Monday he won't know Gradkowski's status until Wednesday. Cable says if Gradkowski can't play, he will "do what's best for this team," which could be starting third-stringer Charlie Frye instead of former starter JaMarcus Russell. Russell replaced Gradkowski in the second half of Oakland's 34-13 loss to Washington on Sunday. He led the Raiders to three points and only 39 yards in the half. Russell was sacked six times and showed little improvement from the play that led to his benching earlier this season. Oakland (4-9) had won two of the first three games started by Gradkowski. Analysis: The most important news here for Fantasy purposes is that Gradkowski is likely going to take a seat for Week 15 against the Broncos. He'd been playing well as the starter and deserved some Fantasy consideration in the deepest of leagues. That said, if he can't go and the job falls to Russell or Frye, neither player is worth using for Week 15. They just haven't proven successful enough while in the game for the Raiders.
Raiders list inactives for Week 14 Raiders list inactives for Week 14 Updated 12/13/2009
Charlie Frye, QB OAK
News: The Raiders' list of inactives for Week 14 against the Redskins includes WR Darrius Heyward-Bey, LB David Nixon, WR Nick Miller, DL William Joseph, WR Javon Walker and QB Charlie Frye. Analysis: None of these players has significant Fantasy appeal. Leave them all on waivers.
Raiders list Week 13 inactives Raiders list Week 13 inactives Updated 12/6/2009
Charlie Frye, QB OAK
News: Oakland has listed the following players as inactive for Week 13 at Pittsburgh: WR Nick Miller, DL Greg Ellis, QB Charlie Frye, WR Darrius Heyward-Bey, LB David Nixon and WR Javon Walker. Analysis: Ellis started the season with four sacks in his first five games but has since managed only one quarterback takedown. Life is a lot tougher in Oakland than Dallas. Don't start Ellis in Week 13. He is a low-end Fantasy start when healthy. The rest of the players listed above have very little Fantasy value as well.
Raiders list Week 11 inactives Raiders list Week 11 inactives Updated 11/22/2009
Charlie Frye, QB OAK
News: Oakland WR Todd Watkins, LB Jon Alston, WR Javon Walker, WR Nick Miller, DL William Joseph and QB Charlie Frye have all been listed as inactive for the team's Week 11 games against the Bengals. Analysis: None of these players ever do enough statistically to matter in standard Fantasy leagues. Leave them all on waivers.
Raiders undecided on QB for Week 11 Raiders undecided on QB for Week 11 Updated 11/16/2009
Charlie Frye, QB OAK
News: A day after benching JaMarcus Russell for the second time in three games, Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable is undecided about his starting quarterback. Cable said Monday he has yet to determine whether Russell, Bruce Gradkowski or Charlie Frye will start this week's game against Cincinnati. "We haven't gotten anywhere with that decision," Cable said. "We hoped to be able to talk about it now but we're not ready to do that. We don't have enough time yet to get everybody that would be involved in it to have those discussions." Analysis: Russell started the first nine games but was benched late in the third quarter of Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs after going 8 for 23 for 64 yards. Gradkowski replaced Russell and went 5 of 9 for 49 yards and two interceptions but strained a hamstring. The No. 1 overall draft pick in 2007, Russell has struggled all season. He has two touchdowns passes, nine interceptions and a 47.1 completion percentage. He has been booed at every home game since the season opener on Sept. 14 and has been frequently criticized for his work habits and lack of preparation. Whether Russell, Gradkowski or Frye start Week 11 against Cincinnati is irrelevant as none would be a recommended option.

News: RB Darren McFadden, LG Robert Gallery, RT Cornell Green, WR Chaz Schilens and LB Ricky Brown -- are among the Raiders’ inactive players for today’s game against the Jets. OT Langston Walker and WR Nick Miller are also inactive. Charlie Frye is the No. 3 quarterback. Analysis: McFadden and Schilens are the only players on this list that have any Fantasy relevance. Michael Bush and Justin Fargas will split carries for Oakland in Week 7 with McFadden out.

News: Raiders WR Louis Murphy, TE Brandon Myers, WR Javon Walker, QB Charlie Frye and QB Bruce Gradkowski didn't record offensive statistics Week 6 against the Eagles. Analysis: None of these players ever contributes enough statistically to matter in Fantasy. Leave them all on waivers.

News: The Raiders listed the following players as inactive for Week 5 at the Giants: QB Charlie Frye, RB Darren McFadden, RB Oren O'Neal, WR Chaz Schilens, WR Javon Walker and WR Nick Miller. Analysis: Aside from McFadden, none of the players on this list are expected to carry any Fantasy appeal this season. Leave them reserved until further notice.

News: The Raiders' list of inactives for Week 3 against the Broncos includes DB Hiram Eugene, WR Javon Walker, TE Brandon Myers, WR Nick Miller, WR Chaz Schilens and QB Charlie Frye. Analysis: None of these players does enough statistically to matter in Fantasy even when active. Leave them all on waivers.
Fargas, Schilens among OAK inactives Fargas, Schilens among OAK inactives Updated 9/20/2009
Charlie Frye, QB OAK
News: The Raiders inactives for Sunday's game at Kansas City: WR Chaz Schilens, WR Nick Miller, WR Johnnie Lee Higgins, RB Justin Fargas and TE Brandon Myers. The inactive third QB is Charlie Frye. Analysis: As expected, keep Schilens benched for Week 2 and hope he can return soon from his injured foot. Fargas missed Week 1 at San Diego with a hamstring injury, but he was not on the injury report this week. Still, keep him reserved against the Chiefs, and the same goes for Higgins and Myers.
