Clive Walford 'no sure bet' for Raiders Week 5

Oakland Raiders tight end Clive Walford (knee) is "no sure bet" to play against the San Diego Chargers, reports ESPN's Adam Caplan.

What It Means:

Walford made an early exit from Week 4's victory over the Baltimore Ravens and was absent from Wednesday's practice. Head coach Jack Del Rio claimed Walford could have returned on Sunday, so the assumption would be he's able to go, but the tight end's status is completely up in the air. Mychal Rivera would benefit most from Walford's absence.

Our models currently project Walford as the 21st-ranked fantasy tight end for Week 5, with a projected line of 29 receiving yards and 0.20 touchdowns on 3 catches.
