The Oakland Raiders lost versatile defensive lineman Tommy Kelly to a season-ending knee injury, further depleting a unit that has had trouble staying healthy and stopping the run. Rookie Jay Richardson is expected to start at end for Kelly on Sunday against Houston. The Raiders also expect to be without tackle Gerard Warren (quadriceps) for the fourth straight game.

Commentary: The Raiders' defense is the most bipolar in the league, ranking third against the pass but 30th against the run. The loss of Kelly will hurt in both areas.

Fantasy Football Impact: None.
