Wed Oct 9 201319:19Marcel Reece (knee) limited Wednesday
Marcel Reece (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Reece played the entire second half in Sunday's win over the Chargers and didn't suffer any setbacks. He isn't in any danger of missing Week 6. With Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings also practicing on a limited basis, Reece is looking unlikely to start at running back this week.

Mon Oct 7 201303:27Reece totals 57 yards in win over San Diego
Marcel Reece had seven carries for 32 yards in Sunday night's Week 5 win over San Diego.
Reece was able to play the entire game despite being listed as questionable with a knee injury. With Rashad Jennings (hamstring) sidelined, he took over as the lead back in the second half and was the more effective runner. He added three catches for 25 yards and remains a factor in red-zone and passing situations. Reece could come into fantasy value this week if both Jennings and Darren McFadden are held out.

Fri Oct 4 201316:33Marcel Reece limited, questionable
Raiders FB Marcel Reece (knee, questionable) was limited in Friday's practice.
Reece is more likely than not to be active in Sunday's late-night bout with San Diego, though it's not a sure thing and his role is totally up in the air in terms of touches. Look for Rashad Jennings to get the bulk of the carries.

Thu Oct 3 201314:33Marcel Reece (knee) practicing again Thursday
Marcel Reece (knee) practiced for the second straight day Thursday.
Reece will likely be "limited" for the second consecutive day, but he's suddenly a possibility for Sunday's late-night game. Rashad Jennings will still be the better fantasy bet, but it will be a situation to avoid if it becomes clear Reece is going to suit up against the Chargers.

Thu Oct 3 201310:21Marcel Reece gets in a limited practice
Marcel Reece (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Reece, whose MRI came back negative, was spotted going through some drills with teammates at the early part of practice. It suggests he at least has an outside shot at suiting up against the Chargers Sunday. If that's the case, Reece and Rashad Jennings would form a committee. Owners that added Jennings as a plug-n-play for this week need to follow Reece's status closely.

Mon Sep 30 201316:25Marcel Reece's MRI comes back negative
Marcel Reece's (knee) MRI came back negative, but he is without a timetable for a return.
Typically vague coach Dennis Allen would only confirm that Reece doesn't need surgery. At best, Reece appears to be week to week, and can be safely ruled out for Week 5. With Darren McFadden (hamstring) also ailing, the Raiders could be forced to rely on plodder Rashad Jennings in a big way against the Chargers.

Mon Sep 30 201309:08Marcel Reece's injury more serious than DMC's
Marcel Reece's knee injury is considered more serious than Darren McFadden's hamstring pull.
The Raiders did not update the status of either one of their backs following Sunday's loss to the Redskins. But given how quickly each one was ruled out for the game, we'd be stunned to see them in Week 5. Rashad Jennings rushed 15 times for 45 yards and caught eight passes for 71 yards in a relief role Sunday.

Raiders FB Marcel Reece suffered a knee injury in Week 4 against the Redskins and is done for the day.

Tue Sep 24 201301:12Marcel Reece catches TD from DMC in Week 3
Marcel Reece caught four passes for 45 yards and one touchdown in Monday night's Week 3 loss to the Broncos.
The Raiders wanted to get Reece more touches, so they did just that. However, it wasn't hard to surpass his Week 1 (one) and Week 2 (two) totals. Reece caught his 16-yard touchdown from the right hand of Darren McFadden in the third quarter. Reece won't be on the fantasy radar unless DMC gets hurt.

Thu Sep 19 201310:19Raiders want more touches for Marcel Reece
GM Reggie McKenzie acknowledged the need to get Marcel Reece more touches.
Reece is a matchup nightmare for defenses thanks to his size/speed combo and route-running ability from the H-back spot. That's why McKenzie gave him a four-year, $14.4M contract last week. But through two games, Reece has just two carries and one catch (on three targets). It's simply not enough. Reece is a name to put on deeper watch lists, especially in PPR formats.

Sun Sep 15 201320:49Marcel Reece has 2/15/1 game vs. Jaguars
Marcel Reece rushed twice for 15 yards and a touchdown in Oakland's Week 2 win over the Jaguars.
Reece just signed a three-year extension on Friday, but has just 15 yards from scrimmage through two games. The 2012 fantasy folk hero would need an injury to Darren McFadden to get back on the roto radar.

Fri Sep 13 201319:26Marcel Reece's deal worth $7.2M guaranteed
Marcel Reece's three-year extension with the Raiders is worth more than $13 million.
The deal includes $7.2 million guaranteed, which easily makes him the highest paid fullback over Le'Ron McClain and Mike Tolbert. Reece was set to make $1.42 million in the final year of his contract and is now signed through 2016.

Fri Sep 13 201317:22Raiders sign FB Reece to three-year extension
Raiders signed FB Marcel Reece to a three-year extension through 2016.
Details of the new deal are not yet available, but Reece was owed $1.423 million entering a contract year. Reece, 28, is averaging 4.8 yards per carry in his career with 107 receptions and six all-purpose touchdowns. A former wide receiver at Washington, Reece has developed into one of the game's premier and most versatile fullbacks. In Oakland's 2012 zone-blocking scheme, Reece was the best tailback on the team.

Sun Dec 23 201216:27Marcel Reece goes for 18 yards in Week 16
Raiders FB Marcel Reece caught four passes for 18 yards in the team's Week 16 loss to Carolina.
Captain Checkdown Matt Leinart replaced Carson Palmer (ribs) in the first quarter and finished out the game, translating to five targets for Oakland's lead blocker. Reece has been a non-factor in fantasy football since Darren McFadden returned. He's a full-time fullback again.

Fri Dec 7 201200:51Reece returns to FB as McFadden returns
Marcel Reece rushed for 10 yards on four carries and caught just one pass for five yards in Thursday night's Week 14 loss to Denver.
Reece started the game at fullback with Darren McFadden's return to the lineup and saw scant work in the loss. He was targeted just one time in the passing game. With the news that McFadden suffered a setback near the end of the game, Reece could be in line for a bigger role in Week 15. McFadden will have 10 days to try and heal up, but even if he misses, Reece shouldn't be counted on to handle the load in the backfield.

Wed Dec 5 201216:55Marcel Reece officially probable for Week 14
Marcel Reece (hamstring, quad) remained limited in Wednesday's practice, but is listed as probable for Thursday Night Football.
Reece will suit up against the Broncos, but with Darren McFadden (ankle) finally returning, he'll be in for few, if any, snaps at running back. Reece will be back at fullback after being shifted there midway through Sunday's loss. It's possible Jeremy Stewart will serve as McFadden's direct backup, though Mike Goodson (ankle) is also expected to return. Reece is no longer a flex option in 12-team leagues.

Tue Dec 4 201214:17Reece dealing with hamstring, quad injuries
Marcel Reece is dealing with hamstring and quadriceps injuries this week.
The injuries explain Jeremy Stewart's increased role versus the Browns as well as the Raiders' Tuesday signing of RB/FB Jamize Olawale from the Cowboys practice squad. With Darren McFadden due back Thursday night, Reece can be dropped in 12-team leagues.

Sun Dec 2 201220:08Reece loses running back duties to Stewart
Marcel Reece rushed for 36 yards on just seven carries and caught five passes for 20 yards in Sunday's loss to the Browns in Week 13.
Reece lost running back duties to Jeremy Stewart midway through the game and was pushed to fullback. Stewart got nine totes and turned them into 46 yards. Darren McFadden (ankle) is expected to play on Thursday night against the Broncos, according to head coach Dennis Allen. So, this shouldn't be an issue moving forward. Reece will go back to his tight end/receiver hybrid role.

Fri Nov 30 201215:34Marcel Reece may remain primary back
Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune anticipates Marcel Reece getting "a lot of work" in Week 13 against the Browns, regardless of whether or not Darren McFadden (ankle) and Mike Goodson (ankle) are active.
Reece is the Raiders' best option as a feature back in OC Greg Knapp's system, while McFadden and Goodson are both listed as questionable. Fantasy owners shouldn't be the least bit surprised if Reece continues to receive the majority of the Raiders backfield touches, even if McFadden and Goodson return. It's become clear as the week as gone along that Reece will remain the fantasy bet of the group. At least in Week 13.
