Link to story Raiders | Jakobi Meyers could be available Wed Oct 15, 02:04 PM
Las Vegas Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers is not being shopped to other teams at this point, but Raiders are open to the possibility of trading Meyers, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.
| Footballguys view: Meyers is somewhat of a hot name on "trade targets" lists around NFL cities. Everyone has a price tag, so even if Meyers is not being shopped it doesn't mean the Raiders won't listen to offers. |

Raiders | Brock Bowers may miss more time Sun Oct 12, 11:10 AM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) has been ruled out for Week 6 and seems unlikely to be available for the Week 7 game, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: This makes sense as the Raiders have a Week 8 bye. Even though it's rough for our lineups to miss Bowers for three games, he should be much more effective for fantasy after resting for four weeks. If Bowers had continued to play through his injury, it might have ruined his season. Michael Mayer is out of concussion protocol and could have some fantasy value in place of Bowers. |
Raiders | Week 6 injury report for Raiders Fri Oct 10, 06:12 PM

Raiders | Michael Mayer not on injury report Fri Oct 10, 06:05 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Michael Mayer (concussion) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 10, and is not on the injury report for Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Mayer missed the last couple of weeks with a concussion. With Brock Bowers also out, Albert Okwuegbunam and Ian Thomas filled in. Now with Mayer back, expect him to operate as the team's primary tight end in a Week 6 matchup against the Titans. It's hard to justify putting him into a fantasy lineup in most leagues, but desperate managers in deep leagues could be rewarded by using him as a sneaky streamer. |

Raiders | Brock Bowers to miss Week 6 Fri Oct 10, 05:57 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 10, and has been ruled out for Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Most of us on staff are operating under the assumption that Bowers will be out through the Raiders' Week 9 bye. Doctors told the young tight end that his PCL and bone bruise will only heal with rest. Bowers will rest up and hope to be an elite tight end option over the season's second half. |

Raiders | Brock Bowers to play it safe Thu Oct 9, 11:55 AM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) may miss another couple of games because the Raiders want to 'protect him from himself' and make sure he is fully healthy before returning, according to Dan Graziano of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Bowers and Pete Carroll thought the second-year tight end would play last week and he didn't. This week, it seems like the Raiders are putting it out there that they're going to be cautious with the young star. That's the wise move, especially for a team who doesn't seem to be going anywhere with QB Geno Smith in 2025. |

Raiders | Michael Mayer may return soon Mon Oct 6, 02:42 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Michael Mayer (concussion) will have a chance to clear the concussion protocol this week, according to head coach Pete Carroll.
| Footballguys view: Though Mayer was a limited participant in practice all last week, he wasn't able to make enough progress to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. With Brock Bowers (knee) and Mayer in street clothes, the Raiders were left with Ian Thomas, Carter Runyon, and practice-squad call-up Albert Okwuegbunam, who led the position with five catches against the Colts. With Bowers considered week to week, Mayer's return would be a plus. |

Raiders | Brock Bowers week-to-week Mon Oct 6, 02:23 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) is considered week-to-week because of his knee injury, according to head coach Pete Carroll.
| Footballguys view: ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Sunday that Bowers is dealing with a PCL injury and a bone bruise in his knee. The injury doesn't appear to be serious, but doctors have said the only way to recover is to rest, which Bowers has been unwilling to do. For now, we wouldn't expect Bowers to play on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. With Michael Mayer (concussion) also out on Sunday, Albert Okwuegbunam was promoted from the practice squad and had catches for 36 yards on six targets with Bowers and Mayer out. |

Raiders | Jakobi Meyers targeted six times Sun Oct 5, 04:20 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Jakobi Meyers registered four receptions for 32 yards on six targets in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts.
| Footballguys view: Meyers was a disappointment even though the Raiders trailed for most of the game. Geno Smith threw the ball 36 times, but Meyers got as many targets as Albert Okwuegbunam, who was in his first game with the team. He remains in WR3/Flex consideration because of the matchup against the Titans next week, but Meyers isn't having the kind of season that will get him paid big or get fantasy teams wins so far. |

Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty ran 14 times for 67 yards in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts, while adding 42 yards on five catches with seven targets.
| Footballguys view: Jeanty was the best part of the Raiders offense for the second straight week, but Geno Smith's ineptitude kept him from having a big fantasy game. At least Jeanty had career highs in receptions and yards to bolster what could have been a big rushing game if the Raiders were competitive. Jeanty is still a great play next week against the equally hapless Titans. |
Raiders | Geno Smith atrocious in Week 5 Sun Oct 5, 04:02 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith completed 25-of-36 passes for 228 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts, and he ran for eight yards on three attempts.
| Footballguys view: Smith had one red zone interception on a tipped ball, and another terrible decision to throw into double coverage that was picked and would have been a defensive touchdown with better footwork down the sidelined from Mekhi Blackmon. We are going to see Kenny Pickett start soon at this rate. |

Link to story Raiders | Brock Bowers may miss Week 5 Sat Oct 4, 03:23 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) is trending towards not being available for the Week 5 game.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Pete Carroll told reporters Friday that the team anticipated Bowers would play despite being listed as questionable. The team hoped that a couple days off this week would have given Bowers' knee a chance to heal, But NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the team sounds increasingly pessimistic that Bowers will play Sunday. If that's how it plays out, the All-Pro will miss the first game of his young career. Ian Thomas and Carter Runyon would be next men up, with primary backup Michael Mayer also out due to a concussion. The club has elevated Albert Okwuegbunam for Sunday's game from the practice squad. |
