Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen said the competition for the starting tight end job is wide open because TEs David Ausberry, Richard Gordon and Mychal Rivera have done well during organized team activities. Allen said the team hopes TE Nick Kasa (hamstring) will be able to practice soon because they feel he can fill a role on offense.
Fantasy Tip: This competition appears to be a four-man race unless the team adds another tight end at some point. The winner of the job likely will not be named until the preseason. Whichever tight end wins the competition, they should be considered a weak No. 2 fantasy tight end.

Oakland Raiders rookie TEs Nick Kasa and Mychal Rivera have a chance to make an impact right away, as the team lost TE Brandon Myers (Giants) during the offseason, and have just TEs David Ausberry and Richard Gordon have experience at the position.
Fantasy Tip: Kasa and Rivera, a pair of sixth-round draft picks, will be battling each other, and Ausberry and Gordon, for targets during training camp and the preseason. It is conceivable one or both rookies could emerge as a starter.

Oakland Raiders TEs David Ausberry and Richard Gordon each played just one offensive snap in Week 14, as they have obviously fallen well behind TE Brandon Myers on the depth chart. "We've had a chance to look at these guys a little bit," head coach Dennis Allen said. "We kind of know what we've got in these guys. They're still in the lineup, and they'll still be used pretty much the same way we've used them." That means plenty of special teams work for Ausberry and Gordon.
