Oakland Raiders head coach Hue Jackson announced Friday that wide receiver Jacoby Ford will not play in Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. A hamstring injury took Ford out of last week's game versus Denver in the second half, and the injury has continued to bother him as he hasn't practiced all week. The Raiders have yet to comment on the severity of the injury.

Fantasy Analysis:

I am going to assume that Ford doesn't play next week either. He was nowhere close to playing this week, and a hamstring ailment for someone who relies on speed so much is really bad news. The team will need to play it ultra-safe with him so that he doesn't aggravate the injury when he does come back.
And suddenly, the Raiders are running out of wideouts. Ford is unavailable; Louis Murphy is recovering from hernia surgery; Darrius Heyward-Bey is questionable with a knee injury. They might have to turn to Chaz Schilens, who is shockingly not hurt at the moment, to be their No. 1 WR this week. I'm a big fan of his, but he doesn't belong in your fantasy lineup. The only Raider you can start is Darren McFadden.
