Alexander Mattison Looks To Move Past Week 2 Dud

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White has disappointed fantasy managers, scoring just 11.4 PPR fantasy points through two games and averaging a paltry 3.1 yards per carry.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is looking to extend his two-game streak of 10-plus PPR fantasy point performances when the Raiders face the Carolina Panthers at home on Sunday.
