The Las Vegas Raiders had their worst offensive showing against the New Orleans Saints since last season. They were shut out, all while their defense allowed just three points. It wasn't a great look whatsoever, but there is a bright side to things for the next four weeks.

The Raiders may possibly have some help, as they took a low risk for a high reward, just like the Jack Jones signing.

According to Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report, the Las Vegas Raiders have signed veteran offensive lineman D.J. Fluker, who they worked out last week.

Fluker was a first overall pick in 2013 and has since been trying to make a comeback in the league.

The Raiders' run game has been bad, and I could certainly use some help up front. Now, this doesn't mean that Fluker will play, but it certainly isn't ruling it out.
