Dylan Laube Held Without A Touch In Loss To Broncos

Las Vegas Raiders running back Dylan Laube did not receive a single opportunity out of the backfield in Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Denver Broncos. The rookie returned one kickoff for a gain of 59 yards. It was disappointing to see the 24-year-old finish the game with no backfield work on a day when Zamir […]

In a week where six teams were on a bye, there was not a lot of poor quarterback play to pick from. Several players were deserving of their place on this list. However, with so many teams off this week, a few players who had solid games still found themselves among the bottom 10 performers. […]

Daniel Carlson Flawless Yet Again, Nails All Opportunities In Loss

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson knocked through field goals of 34, 34, 53, and 22 yards and made his only extra point attempt in his team's 19-29 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 12. He's still clearly an elite player at his position. He scored 15 fantasy points in fantasy football leagues with […]

Raiders D/ST Predictably Comes Up Empty Against Denver

The Las Vegas Raiders defense/special teams scored exactly zero points in fantasy leagues that use normal scoring rules in Week 12. There was no reason to start them in Week 12, and there was exactly zero reward for doing it. They are the second-worst fantasy defense on the season. They allowed 29 points and 325 […]

Ameer Abdullah Surprises With Solid Game In Week 12

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah was the starting RB for his team in the absence of the first two backs on the depth chart. Both Zamir White (quad) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) weren't able to suit up for this contest. Abdullah rushed eight times for 28 yards and caught six passes for 37 […]

Tre Tucker Impresses In Week 12 Loss To Broncos

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker caught seven of his eight targets against the Denver Broncos in Week 12. It was a bounce-back game for him. He had failed to gain more than 41 receiving yards in any contest since Week 3 before today. The Denver defense is typically lockdown against opposing receivers. However, […]

Brock Bowers Stymied By Denver Defense In Loss

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers had his second-least productive game of the season in Week 12. His team's opponent, the Denver Broncos, seemed to get the message -- slow down Bowers if you want to win. They bracketed him early and often, holding him to just four catches on his 10 targets. He […]

Jakobi Meyers Combusts For Big Yardage In Week 12

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers snagged 10 of his 15 targets for 121 receiving yards in his team's Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos. He's proven to be a surprisingly good player for how he's perceived by the general public of NFL fans, though he's still stuck on a poor team. The […]

Desmond Ridder Completes Five Passes, Loses Fumble In Replacement Action

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Desmond Ridder stepped in for starting QB Gardner Minshew II (collarbone), who suffered a season-ending injury near the end of the team's Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos. Ridder completed five of ten passes for 64 yards, carried the ball one time for three yards, and was sacked twice. He […]

Gardner Minshew II Done For The Year

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. The signal-caller, who hasn't had an eventful year in Vegas, suffered a broken collarbone during Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. While there was a chance Minshew wouldn't be back under center moving ahead even if he stayed healthy, […]

Gardner Minshew II Heads To The Locker Room

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II (shoulder) exited Sunday's meeting with the Denver Broncos. The veteran had 230 yards, one touchdown, and one pick in this one, so he's had a decent showing. However, he took a hard hit late in the contest and was assisted back to the locker room. There hasn't been […]

Harrison Bryant Inactive Against Broncos

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Harrison Bryant (ankle) registered two limited practices before the weekend and picked up a questionable tag. He was since ruled inactive before their late-afternoon kickoff. Bryant was getting some extra snaps with fellow tight end Michael Mayer out for a while, but it looks like that will flip-fop with Mayer […]

Zamir White Won't Suit Up Against Broncos

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White (quadriceps) has been deemed inactive, as expected, for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. His backfield mate, Alexander Mattison (ankle), was also ruled inactive. Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube will be the starting backfield for this matchup against a tougher defensive unit.

Alexander Mattison Inactive Against Broncos

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) has been ruled inactive for Week 12's game against the Denver Broncos. His ankle issue proved to be too much as he was already doubtful heading into Sunday. Zamir White (quadriceps) was also deemed inactive so that leaves Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube as the backfield duo […]

Raiders Might Be Interested In Daniel Jones

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the Las Vegas Raiders could be in the market to sign quarterback Daniel Jones.
