Raiders | Mark Davis: 'Absolutely no pressure whatsoever' to start Fernando Mendoza Tue Nov 3, 01:32 PM
Raiders owner Mark Davis said in a Monday interview with CNBC that there is "absolutely no pressure whatsoever" from him to start rookie QB Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick, as reported by Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
| Footballguys view: Davis said the team was "fortunate to get Kirk Cousins as someone who could bridge the gap" and added, "I think we're fortunate he doesn't have to go out and play." Davis said Mendoza is "picking it up great" and that he is "really happy with the way it is with Fernando right now, and we'll see what happens." Mendoza has made one appearance this season, completing 6 of 8 passes for 48 yards in mop-up duty in the Week 5 loss to the Patriots. |

Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. out-snaps Ashton Jeanty 38-25 in win over Jets Mon Nov 2, 07:31 AM
Raiders rookie RB Mike Washington Jr. played 38 offensive snaps to RB Ashton Jeanty's 25 in Sunday's 38-33 win over the Jets, roughly a 60-40 split in Washington's favor. Head coach Klint Kubiak said after the game that Jeanty's limited carries were "my call" and that Jeanty remains "a big part of our team."
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Tristan Cockcroft suggested, the reasons for Jeanty's in-game benching are unclear, but Washington's usage -- both this week and in earlier games -- signals his importance as an insurance policy. That said, it seems likely that Jeanty will resume his starter's role in Week 9 against the 49ers. Cockcroft pointed to Washington's 3.3-yard-per-carry average -- and the fact that he was stuffed at the line six times -- while Jeanty provided the Raiders some utility in the receiving game (three catches, 64 yards). All that said, this is a situation we'll watch closely. |

Kubiak on Jeanty's two carries: 'That's my call,' still 'a big part of our team' Sun Nov 1, 04:23 PM
Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said Sunday that RB Ashton Jeanty getting only two carries in the 38-33 win over the Jets was "my call, and Ashton still going to be a big part of our team." Kubiak added that Jeanty's comments about the Jets did not factor into his decision.
| Footballguys view: Jeanty is going to be a flex play for Week 9 against the 49ers along with Mike Washington Jr., who got 25 carries for 83 yards in the game. This is at least in part because Jeanty started out the season at less than 100% and may not be able to get back to top form as he plays through pain this season. If you believe in Jeanty, make an offer for him and if you think that this is the new blueprint for the Raiders backfield, it's time to sell before his value drops more, especially in dynasty leagues. |

Raiders | Bowers catches 7 passes for 92 yards, two touchdowns in win over Jets Sun Nov 1, 04:05 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers caught 7 passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns on 10 targets in Sunday's 38-33 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 15.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 24.7.
| Footballguys view: Both of Bowers' touchdowns were short passes with one diving grab in the end zone and one nifty score where Klint Kubiak brought him across the formation at the snap and the defense lost him at the goal line. After missing the first two games, he has become the clear No. 1 tight end and "Jaxon Smith-Njigba" for Kubiak in Las Vegas. He'll face the 49ers, who are coming off their bye, next week. |

Las Vegas Raiders WR Jalen Nailor caught 4 passes for 38 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 38-33 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 3.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 11.8.

Raiders | Cousins throws for 247 yards, three touchdowns in win over Jets Sun Nov 1, 04:05 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Kirk Cousins completed 19 of 26 passes for 247 yards with 3 touchdowns and ran 5 times for 3 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-33 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 16.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.2.
| Footballguys view: Cousins got a tush push score after a Connor Heyward fourth-down attempt in that formation failed. Add that to his three touchdown passes (two to Brock Bowers) and you have an elite QB1 fantasy day if you used him as a streamer or Brock Purdy bye-week coverage. The Raiders are 4-4 and could be buyers at the trade deadline with a clarifying stretch of San Francisco, Seattle, and Denver up next on the schedule. The Chiefs will take aim at the feeble Jets defense led by likely lame-duck head coach Aaron Glenn. |

Raiders | Tucker held to 0 catches for 0 yards in win over Jets Sun Nov 1, 04:05 PM
Las Vegas Raiders WR Tre Tucker caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 38-33 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 10.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: Tucker hadn't posted lower than four catches for 41 yards in a game since a two-catch, 27-yard Week 1 dud. The Raiders had a ton of success against a Jets defense that had trouble covering Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer. The tight end duo combined for 12 catches, 145 yards, and two scores, which made Tucker an afterthought in the passing game. He's still at worst a what-the-heck WR3/Flex against the 49ers next week with three elite WR1 games under his belt so far this season. Don't drop him out of frustration if you finally played him this week after benching him in his spike weeks. |

Raiders | Raiders plan to play Kirk Cousins 'as long as possible', don't blame him for slide Sun Nov 1, 07:07 AM
The Raiders' plan continues to be to play QB Kirk Cousins as long as possible, and the team does not believe he is to blame for its recent struggles after a 3-0 start. Cousins leads the NFL with 16 touchdown passes, ranks third in the league with 1,817 passing yards and has thrown only five interceptions through seven games.

Raiders | Jack Bech activated from injured reserve ahead of Week 8 at Jets Sat Oct 31, 03:09 PM
The Raiders activated WR Jack Bech from injured reserve on Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 8 game against the Jets. Bech was placed on injured reserve on Sept. 29 after breaking his forearm in the Week 3 game against the Saints, and he was designated to return to practice on Monday. He has five receptions for 48 yards and a touchdown in three games this season. The Raiders placed DE Patrick Johnson on injured reserve in a corresponding move.
| Footballguys view: Bech should be back in action, so Fantasy GMs in deeper leagues can stash him if you've got roster space. The Raiders' passing attack is all about Brock Bowers, Tre Tucker, and Ashton Jeanty. We'll see how Bech mixes in behind those guys. In three games this season, Bech has started one game, been targeted six times, has five catches for 48 yards, and one touchdown. |

Raiders | Maxx Crosby 'definitely not forcing his way out,' but Raiders sure to get calls Sat Oct 31, 08:46 AM
Raiders DE Maxx Crosby wants to remain with the team, has no desire to leave and is "definitely not forcing his way out." Raiders GM John Spytek is still sure to get calls about Crosby over the next 10 days before the trade deadline, leaving open the possibility of another blockbuster deal.
| Footballguys view: Pelissero points out that Crosby does not want to leave the Raiders, but they could get quite a bit for him if there's another team willing to pay the price. A failed offseason trade with the Ravens fell through, so Crosby sees it as a sign he should stay with the Raiders. Before a failed physical designation, the Ravens were happy to send two first-round picks to the Raiders for Crosby. Raiders GM John Spytek could be looking for a similar deal. |

Raiders | Brock Bowers off injury report, set to play Sunday against Jets Fri Oct 30, 04:20 PM
Raiders TE Brock Bowers (calf) is off the injury report and does not carry a game designation for Sunday's game against the Jets. Bowers had been limited in Wednesday's practice with the calf injury. TE Ian Thomas (shoulder) is also off the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Another week, another injury for Bowers. After missing the first two games of the season due to unexpected knee surgery, Bowers has been on and off most injury reports since. He's played admirably this season and leads all tight ends in fantasy points per game. He's a no-brainer TE1 any time he's active. |

Raiders | Kirk Cousins wants to give Jalen Nailor more opportunities: 'He's separating' Wed Oct 28, 05:33 PM
Raiders QB Kirk Cousins said on Wednesday that WR Jalen Nailor has been getting open and needs more chances in the offense. "When you watch the tape, you see him separating. I've told him you're doing a lot of good things. I need to give you opportunities to make it right," Cousins said, pointing to a late route against the Bills on which he overthrew Nailor and to "a couple of other examples" in Sunday's loss to the Rams. "He's beating his guy. That's all he can do. And then it's our job to give him opportunities to make plays," Cousins added.
| Footballguys view: He's running the routes, but the Raiders aren't getting him the ball much. Nailor caught 2-of-5 targets for 14 yards in the Raiders' Week 7 loss against the Rams. He's yet to be a waiver-wire addition, but that could change if Cousins starts sending it in his direction. |

The Raiders activated second-year WR Dont'e Thornton Jr. from injured reserve on Tuesday, releasing DT Jonah Laulu in a corresponding move. Thornton's practice window opened October 7, and the 21-day evaluation period was approaching its Wednesday deadline.

Raiders | Jack Bech designated to return from injured reserve Mon Oct 26, 04:21 PM
The Raiders designated WR Jack Bech (forearm) to return to practice from injured reserve on Monday. Bech fractured his forearm in late September, head coach Klint Kubiak confirmed at the time.
| Footballguys view: Bech has been out with a broken forearm suffered in the Week 3 victory over the Saints. Bech now has 21 days to practice before he must be added to the 53-man roster. In his second season, Bech caught five passes for 48 yards with a touchdown before suffering the injury. As a rookie in 2025, Bech caught 20 passes for 224 yards. With a lack of high-end depth at wideout, Bech, an excellent blocker, could resume a contributing role in short order. |

Raiders | Kirk Cousins remains starter; Mendoza will play 'at some point,' not this week Mon Oct 26, 03:54 PM
Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak opened his press conference on Monday by saying, before anyone could ask, that QB Kirk Cousins is the team's starter. "Fernando is going to play at some point, but it's not going to be this week," Kubiak said of QB Fernando Mendoza. Kubiak also said Cousins is playing at a very high level.
| Footballguys view: Through seven games, Cousins has thrown for 1,877 yards, a league-leading 16 touchdowns, and five interceptions. He has thrown seven TDs in the past four games (all losses) after nine in the first three (all wins). But Cousins is not this team's biggest problem, and Kubiak knows that. It doesn't mean the Raiders won't make a switch at some point. But all indications are that the team would like to hold off on throwing Mendoza into the fray as long as possible. |

Raiders | Kubiak will evaluate everything, including who starts at QB Mon Oct 26, 01:52 AM
Amid a four-game losing streak, Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said the team is evaluating everything, including looking toward the future by starting No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza over Kirk Cousins. "We have to go watch the film," Kubiak said after a 35-21 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. "We've got to talk about all of it."
| Footballguys view: Through seven games, Cousins has thrown for 1,877 yards, a league-leading 16 touchdowns and five interceptions. He has thrown seven TDs in the past four games after nine in the first three. To be clear, Cousins is not this team's biggest problem. But he's understood the reality of his situation since the team drafted Mendoza with the first pick in April's draft. If the losses begin to pile up, the likelihood of the team turning to the Heisman Trophy winner will increase. Stay tuned. |

Raiders | Kirk Cousins on possible Mendoza switch: 'If I'm not the best option, I don't want to be out there' Sun Oct 25, 10:13 PM
Raiders QB Kirk Cousins addressed the possibility of being replaced by rookie QB Fernando Mendoza, saying, "If I'm not the best option, I don't want to be out there."
| Footballguys view: After three straight wins to start the season, the decision to ride with Cousins was looking like the wise choice. Now that the Raiders have lost four in a row, it's fair to wonder whether the time for Mendoza, the first-pick overall in April's draft, to take over the starting job is coming. The Raiders play the Jets in Week 8. |

Raiders | Jack Bech eligible to return to practice next week Fri Oct 23, 04:17 PM
Raiders WR Jack Bech (forearm) will be eligible to return to practice starting next week. Bech has been on injured reserve since fracturing his forearm against the Saints in late September. At the time, he was expected to return later this season.
| Footballguys view: Bech was down the pecking order before the injury and still has to prove he's healthy enough to play. He's worth stashing in deep dynasty leagues, but he's not quite on the redraft radar yet. |

Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. questionable, Kubiak expects him to play vs. Rams Fri Oct 23, 03:28 PM
Raiders rookie RB Mike Washington Jr. is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams with foot/back injuries. He was limited on Wednesday and missed practice on Thursday and Friday, but head coach Klint Kubiak indicated on Friday that the team expects Washington to play. Washington played a season-high 23 snaps in Week 6, with nine carries for 43 yards. If he can't play, RB Dylan Laube will back up starter Ashton Jeanty.
| Footballguys view: Washington was limited at practice to start the week and has missed both practices since, suggesting he won't play this week. However, Kubiak's comments say otherwise. The rookie was heating up, getting double-digit touches in two of his last three games. Ashton Jeanty is off the injury report this week, and he's expected to get the bulk of the work if Washington can't go. Dylan Laube may get occasional touches, but Jeanty deserves consideration as a back-end RB1. If Washington is active, he'd take some work from Jeanty, but he's not much more than a desperation flex. |

Raiders | OC Andrew Janocko calls Michael Mayer 'a valuable piece to this team' Fri Oct 23, 09:31 AM
Raiders offensive coordinator Andrew Janocko praised TE Michael Mayer during his Thursday press conference, calling him "a valuable piece to this team" and adding, "He's going to be a part of our success going forward." Janocko cited Mayer's work in the "run game, pass game protections" and noted he "sits in the front row of the meeting rooms." Mayer had a career-high 95 receiving yards in last Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Bills.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders ran multi-tight-end sets on 74% of their snaps last week, clearly comfortable using both Brock Bowers and Mayer full-time. Mayer is the TE12 on the year. He has a tough matchup this weekend against the Rams, but he's firmly in the streaming discussion. |

Raiders rookie RB Mike Washington Jr. was not present during the media viewing period of practice on Thursday. Washington was limited on Wednesday due to back and foot injuries.

With Jeanty not on the injury report Thursday, Washington is clearly going to continue with his backup role. If Jeanty needs a breather or misses time as he's been battling a couple of injuries, Washington would then have more fantasy value. |

Raiders | Mayer catches 7 passes for 95 yards in loss to Bills Sun Oct 18, 07:35 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Michael Mayer caught 7 passes for 95 yards on 9 targets in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 5.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 13.0.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN's Tristan Cockcroft noted, the Raiders are making two tight ends fantasy relevant. Mayer -- second on their positional depth chart -- scored 16.5 fantasy points on nine targets, his third game with at least 12 points in his past four. Coach Klint Kubiak's offense has coaxed a league-leading 64.6 points from tight ends during those four weeks. Mayer was TE5 overall through the end of Sunday's late-afternoon games. His teammate, Brock Bowers, was TE11 with 11 points. |

Raiders | Cousins throws for 313 yards, two touchdowns in loss to Bills Sun Oct 18, 07:35 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Kirk Cousins completed 23 of 41 passes for 313 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 17.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.5.
| Footballguys view: A poor third quarter, in which Cousins threw the only interception of the game, left the Raiders trailing by 10 twice in the second half. Both times, Cousins gave his team a chance. With just under two minutes remaining in the contest, it took two plays for Cousins to find the end zone, hitting Tre Tucker with a 44-yard touchdown (for his second score of the day). Cousins was mostly solid outside of the pick, but too many Raiders mistakes -- some bigger than others -- ultimately sank them. The Raiders face the Rams in Week 7. |

Las Vegas Raiders WR Tre Tucker caught 5 passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns on 7 targets in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 8.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 24.2.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today suggested, somebody in the wide receiver room finally answered the bell. Tucker's 11-yard score tied the game at 23, and his diving 44-yard touchdown grab finished a 24-second drive. "I think he's faster than I realize he is, and there are times when I just need to launch, and he'll go get it," Kirk Cousins said when asked about his connection with Tucker.

Raiders WR Jalen Nailor, who has been in the concussion protocol, was out of the red jersey at practice on Friday. Las Vegas' receiving corps "could be adding reinforcements," with WR Dont'e Thornton Jr. also practicing again. Thornton has since been ruled out for Sunday.
| Footballguys view: A DNP-to-LP-to-FP progression is what we like to see for a guy working through concussion protocol. Nailor seems on track to play this week. That said, he has just 52 receiving yards through four games. He's taken a clear back seat to Tre Tucker. The Bills are a good matchup, and desperate managers might be eyeballing Nailor. He could score a touchdown, but you probably have better options for your fantasy lineup. |

"He does not want to take a week off and has pushed to play through the injuries," Graziano reported. Jeanty played through ankle and foot injuries in Sunday's loss to the Patriots after being a game-time decision.
| Footballguys view: On Wednesday, Raiders HC Klint Kubiak shot down the idea of Jeanty getting a week of rest. In fact, Kubiak said Jeanty is starting to "feel a lot better." We've got Jeanty in the low-end RB1 range against the Bills in Week 6. |
