Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Stewart caught 11 passes in 16 games after catching zero in 16 games in 2007. He is primarily a special teams player and a blocking tight end. ... Carlisle started 31 of 32 games at right guard over the past two years, was in the process of lining up visits to other teams, but canceled them Sunday as his agent concentrated on getting a deal done with the Raiders. The Raiders lost another offensive line starter, center Jake Grove, earlier in the day to the Miami Dolphins.
