Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak intends to work on a deal to become the Raiders’ next head coach after the Super Bowl. Kubiak was the OC for the Saints before heading to the Seahawks. He will now inherit an offense with key young weapons in RB Ashton Jeanty, TE Brock Bowers, and likely QB Fernando Mendoza as the top pick of the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Las Vegas Raiders have fired HC Pete Carroll after on season as the head coach. The 2025 Raiders season was disastrous, with the team going 3-14. Tom Brady is expected to be a major factor in the search for a new head coach.

Raiders WR Jack Bech (back) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Giants. RB Ashton Jeanty, WR Tre Tucker, and TE Michael Mayer should be the engines of Vegas’ passing game in this one.

The Raiders are officially placing Edge Maxx Crosby on IR, and he's expected to have surgery on the left knee he injured earlier this season. The procedure's expected to be minor and shouldn't affect his 2026 readiness.

Raiders WR Jack Bech was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Friday with a back issue. He's listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Giants. Even with TE Brock Bowers out, Bech shouldn't be in your Week 17 fantasy plans. The rookie hasn't topped 50 yards in a game all season.

Fox's Jay Glazer reports that the Raiders plan to shut Edge Maxx Crosby down for the season's final two games. Crosby -- who has been playing through at least a knee injury for a while -- reportedly does not like the team's decision.

The Raiders are placing TE Brock Bowers on IR, ending his 2025 season, according to multiple sources. Bowers has battled a knee injury for most of the year and is shutting it down (potentially in part because this weekend's game vs. the Giants could determine who gets the No. 1 pick in the 2026 draft!). His absence leaves Michael Mayer as Vegas' lead TE for the final two games of the season. He posted 5-50-1 and 1-10-0 receiving lines in two games without Bowers earlier this season. Consider Mayer more of a desperation spot starter than reliable Week 17 play vs. the Giants' seventh-ranked TE defense.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers led the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. But that produced just a 6-28-0 receiving line on eight looks. QB Kenny Pickett threw for a mere 64 yards on 15-of-25 passing in place of the injured Geno Smith. RB Ashton Jeanty was the only other Raider to catch more than two passes.

Raiders rookie WR Jack Bech played a season-high 82% of the snaps in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. He also drew a team-high six targets, catching all of them for 50 yards. That set season highs for Bech in each of those categories. TE Brock Bowers followed with a 4-46 receiving line on five targets. WR Tyler Lockett posted a 3-41 on four targets. WR Tre Tucker caught two of five targets for 24 yards.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty stunk in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. He rushed 10 times for 30 yards and caught two balls for 8 yards. Jeanty had saved his PPR lines the previous three weeks with 6+ catches each time in three straight eight-target games.

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.

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.
