| 0:00.0 | Did we see the real Raiders on Monday night? |
| 0:05.8 | Plus the top waiver-wire targets for week five next on fantasy football today in five. |
| 0:13.1 | Welcome to fantasy football today in five. I'm Chris Towers here with Dan Schneier. |
| 0:16.9 | And we're talking about Monday night football on the week five top waiver- targets for more on the top waiver wire options beyond what we talk about today. |
| 0:24.4 | Make sure you check out the full episode of FFT in your normal feeds. But let's start off with Monday night and Dan, I got three big questions for you for coming out of Monday night football. And we'll start with the obvious one. |
| 0:36.6 | Did the Raiders fool us into thinking they have a great offense with their performance the first three weeks? |
| 0:42.0 | Derek Carr was pushing the ball downfield. |
| 0:44.2 | He had thrown for 300 plus yards in each game, plus multiple touchdowns. |
| 0:47.5 | I think it was multiple touchdowns and six of seven games going back to last season as well. |
| 0:52.3 | Not so much in this one, 196 yards on 34 attempts. He did have two touchdowns in this one, but no receiver top 60 yards, and it took Henry Ruggs getting a 51-yard catch for him to even get there.

| 1:27.5 | but they do have one elite receiver in Darren Waller. He's essentially a wide receiver. |
| 1:33.1 | Luckily, you can use him as tight end in your roster. They've got some pretty good |
| 1:37.3 | complimentary pieces. Henry Ruggs the third who had three catches for 60 yards in this one on |
| 1:42.0 | six targets. Hunter Renfro has been a fine possession type receiver for them. |
| 1:47.7 | The thing that they need is for Brian Edwards to get more involved in the offense |
| 1:52.8 | and to become more of a consistent difference maker. |
| 1:55.3 | He's got the skills, and we've seen stretches of it this season, |
