Calling himself a third-down receiver, a fourth option, or vice versa. In his second season in Oakland, though, Craftree is rejuvenated and is more than Derek Carr's security blanket; Crabtree is showing the Niners what they missed out on. A career-best three touchdown day in the Raiders' victory at the Ravens cemented that narrative. "It's no secret," Crabtree said. "I'm grateful to be in this situation. Thankful. Blessed." Now, can he and the Raiders keep it up at home next week against the Chargers after playing three of their first four games on the road. -- Paul Gutierrez
