Raiders TE Brock Bowers delivered the fantasy points in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, despite limited help from his team. He caught four balls for a game-high 63 yards and the team's only two TDs. Only RB Ashton Jeanty drew more targets. Besides Jeanty and Bowers, WR Tre Tucker and WR Jack Bech were the only other Raiders to catch more than one pass.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty assumed his usual role dominating the backfield Sunday against the Chargers, shaking off the ankle injury that knocked him out of the previous game (but didn't land him on the Week 13 injury report). Unfortunately for fantasy managers, he also continued his usual poor ground production, managing a mere 31 yards on 15 carries (2.1 per rush). Fortunately for PPR formats, Jeanty tallied a team-high 6 receptions for 30 yards on a team-leading eight targets.

Raiders TE Michael Mayer (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers. He’s averaged 5.0 targets across his last three healthy games, so his absence is a boost to TE Brock Bowers and WR Tre Tucker.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty is not listed on the Week 13 injury report. He was knocked out late in last Sunday's game with an ankle injury but is evidently in no danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Chargers. Jeanty's rushing efficiency has remained putrid lately, but he's racked up 22 catches on 26 targets over his last four games.

Raiders HC Pete Carroll called RB Ashton Jeanty's ankle injury a "tweak" and "not severe" on Monday. "It sounds like there’s a chance that he would be okay," Carroll added. We'll start the week projecting Jeanty to play vs. the Chargers but keep a close eye on his practice participation.

The Raiders fired OC Chip Kelly. He became the highest-paid coordinator in the NFL back in February and winds up lasting just 11 games. Vegas ranks 31st in points per game (15.0), 30th in total yards per game (268.9) and 30th in offensive EPA (-77.8). In Kelly's defense, QB Geno Smith has played poorly for most of the season, the offensive line is trash, and TE Brock Bowers was banged up for most of the first two months. The QB play and offensive line aren't changing the rest of the way, so Kelly's departure is unlikely to matter for fantasy football purposes. The Raiders have not yet named an interim OC.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty injured his left ankle late in Sunday's loss to the Browns. He was deemed questionable to return but didn't play on Vegas' final possession. We'll look for updates on the rookie's status. His absence would leave the Raiders' backfield to Raheem Mostert, Dylan Laube, and Zamir White.

Raiders TE Michael Mayer suffered an ankle injury in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Browns and will not return. He's been playing a big role in a Vegas offense heavy on 2-TE sets. We'll see about the severity of this injury.

The Dallas Cowboys entered Week 11 allowing the second-most fantasy points to RBs, but they were able to shut down Ashton Jeanty. The Raiders' rookie RB was held to a season-low 7 rushing yards and 6 attempts in the team's 33-16 loss. Jeanty somewhat salvaged his fantasy value by catching a season-high 6 passes, but only managed to produce 34 yards of offense on 12 touches.

Raiders QB Geno Smith is not on the Week 11 injury report. He suffered a quad contusion in last Thursday night's loss to the Broncos but is good to go for this Monday night's game against the Cowboys. Smith has been incredibly volatile this season, but this matchup against the league's worst QB defense should swing him toward the upside.

Raiders QB Geno Smith suffered a quad contusion in the fourth quarter of Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos, HC Pete Carroll said afterward. Smith battled through the injury but could barely move. Asked whether the injury could cost Smith time going forward, Carroll said, "I don’t know that. It’s a thigh bruise. It’s not like some other injuries, it’s not one that he can’t get back from." Smith gets 10 days to heal up before the Raiders host the Cowboys on Monday Night Football in Week 11. If Smith can't go, QB Kenny Pickett would get the start. And if you thought this offense stunk with Geno ...

Brock Bowers' fantasy owners were feeling good after his monster Week 9. Those warm and fuzzies quickly went away after he managed just one catch for 31 yards in Thursday night's loss to the Broncos. Bowers was simply invisible for much of this game. His lone target in the first quarter fell incomplete. There was another incompletion in Bowers' direction early in the second quarter. He ran away from rookie DB Jahdae Barron on a crossing route later in the second for a 31-yard gain -- Vegas' biggest play of the night. And that was it. Not another target for Bowers over the final 2.5 quarters. His only other touch came on a jet sweep that was blown up for a four-yard loss by EDGE Nick Bonitto.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty found little room to run against the Broncos on Thursday night, averaging just 3.2 yards per carry. But he was fed 19 times, compiling 60 rushing yards. That included a four-yard TD in the first quarter. Jeanty was similarly inefficient in the passing game, catching three of five targets for three yards. He lost seven yards on a blown-up screen and had a ball bounce off his hands and turn into an INT.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty delivered a nice fantasy line in Sunday's narrow loss to the Jaguars. A 5-47-1 receiving line delivered nearly all of that value and masked continued struggles in the Vegas run game. Jeanty ranked second on the team in catches and receiving yards for the game, earning a decent 13.2% target share. Jeanty also rushed 13 times for a mere 42 yards, despite the game remaining close throughout and no other Raiders RB garnering a single carry.

Sunday's return by Raiders TE Brock Bowers just happened to coincide with the best fantasy day of the season for QB Geno Smith. The QB delivered 284 yards and a season-high 4 TD tosses on 29-of-39 passing in a narrow loss to the Jaguars. Smith enters Monday night's game as the eighth-best fantasy QB for Week 9, by ESPN scoring. And his three multi-TD games this year have come in the past three contests he played with Bowers. Of course, the game ended negatively for Smith when he failed to find a receiver for what would have been the game-winning 2-point conversion late in OT.

Brock Bowers' knee seems like it's probably feeling better. The star TE racked up 12 catches for 127 yards, and 3 TDs in Sunday's narrow loss to the Jaguars. That came on a team-high 13 targets, six more than his nearest teammate. It was the first time Bowers had played since Week 4.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. He’ll play for the first time since Week 4. Bowers said Wednesday that he’s only “closer” to 100% now, although HC Pete Carroll raved about how he looked in practice this week. Bowers sits a bit lower than usual in the Week 9 TE rankings but remains a strong fantasy start.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. "The first part of the season was tough [and] not feeling 100%," Bowers said. "But I'm closer now." It's noteworthy that Bowers only said he's "closer" to 100%. The PCL and bone bruise in his left knee might not fully heal until the offseason. That said, an active Bowers would be nearly impossible to leave out of fantasy lineups. He returns for a plus matchup against the Jaguars' 26th-ranked TE defense.

The Raiders are signing WR Tyler Lockett, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Lockett will reunite with QB Geno Smith after the duo spent 2020-2024 together in Seattle. There's opportunity for Lockett to get snaps in a weak Raiders WR corps, especially if Jakobi Meyers is traded before next week's deadline. But Lockett won't be a fantasy factor. He averaged just 10 yards across seven games for the Titans this season -- after averaging 35.3 for the Seahawks last year.

WR Tyler Lockett has asked for and been granted his release from the Titans, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. The 33-year-old evidently had enough of this rebuilding Tennessee team. Of course, Lockett wasn't doing anything to help the offense. Clearly at the end of the line, he totaled just 10 catches on 21 targets through seven games. Schefter says that Lockett is expected to sign elsewhere, but he won't be a fantasy factor.
