Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Rivers, 27, is a solid in-line blocker who will provide a different dimension to the Oakland tight end corps. The Raiders' incumbent tight ends, including starter Courtney Anderson, are better known as receivers. But under Art Shell, the Raiders figure to be a more physical team and Rivers will give them a tight end who can take on linebackers and defensive ends.
