This week’s picks

-

Derek Carr passing yards O/U: 266.5

■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over —The Raiders’ passing attack will be aggressive.

■ Ed Graney: Over — Who do you think this guy is, Matthew Stafford in the Rams’ openinggam­e loss to the Bills?

■ Adam Hill: Over — This should be a high-scoring affair, especially without prized offseason acquisitio­n J.C. Jackson, who was supposed to fix the Chargers’ anemic pass defense.

■ Sam Gordon: Over — Both teams yield explosive offenses that could turn this game into a shootout.

■ Heidi Fang: Over – With plenty of targets, don’t be surprised if Carr throws for close to 300 yards. Davante Adams receptions O/U: 6.5 ■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over —Expect Adams to be targeted early and often.

■ Ed Graney: Over — Adams and Carr, the greatest duo since Scooby Doo & Shaggy.

■ Adam Hill: Over — It’s the first time he’s played with his good friend Derek Carr since college. They’re about to make up for lost time.

■ Sam Gordon: Over — What Vinny said.

■ Heidi Fang: Over — Might be the easiest money you make all week.

Darren Waller receiving yards O/U: 48.5

■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over — He’ll find his way into the offense. Too good not to.

■ Ed Graney: Over — Not going under on the first game as a Drew Rosenhaus client.

■ Adam Hill: Under — It could take some time to get him acclimated to the Josh Mcdaniels offense after he missed the majority of training camp.

■ Sam Gordon: Over — The familiarit­y with Carr should make up for the missed time during training camp.

■ Heidi Fang: Over — The Chargers will try to double-team Adams, leaving Waller wide open.

Justin Herbert passing yards O/U: 283.5

■ Vincent Bonsignore: Under — Raiders defensive game plan will slow him down.

■ Ed Graney: Under — Justin, meet Maxx and Chandler.

■ Adam Hill: Under — The Chargers could choose to attack the Raiders on the ground to keep Maxx Crosby and Chandler Jones from pinning their ears back and just bearing down on Herbert..

■ Sam Gordon: Over — He’ll have to throw too if this thing becomes a shootout.

■ Heidi Fang: Over — The Chargers will try to test the Raiders’ secondary.

Austin Ekeler rushing yards O/U: 59.5

■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over —Not that he will rip the Raiders, but he’ll get his.

■ Ed Graney: Over — You can’t be a Top 5 Fantasy League pick and not gain at least 60 yards here.

■ Adam Hill: Over — He will be very busy in both the running and passing game.

■ Sam Gordon: Under — The Chargers don’t tend to commit to the running game.

■ Heidi Fang: Over —A minimum of 15 carries and 80 rushing yards with at least five receptions.
