Las Vegas Raiders
AFC West
Tre Tucker might see limited usage as the 4th-ranked WR on the Raiders. Ranked #118 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's not a real fantasy asset. He's projected to catch 13.4 receptions for 164 yards and 0.7 TDs, which is 6.6% of the workload for Raiders WRs. The Raiders have the 3rd-worst schedule for wide receivers. Tucker is worth drafting at his ADP of 280 as the consensus #341 overall player.

As the consensus #126 overall player, Jakobi Meyers is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 125. Meyers is the WR2 for the Raiders, trailing Davante Adams. Ranked #50 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he won't usually be a fantasy starter. He's projected for 750 yards and 5.1 TDs on 67.0 receptions, for 33.1% of the workload for WRs on the Raiders. The Raiders have the 3rd-worst schedule for wide receivers.

Projected to touch the ball 3.4 times per game (2.2 rushes and 1.2 receptions), Ameer Abdullah isn't someone you can really use in fantasy. He's behind both Zamir White and Alexander Mattison on the running back chart for the Raiders.

Gardner Minshew II is the consensus #33 QB, and as such isn't worth drafting in 1QB leagues. Dispite his low rank, his role as the starting QB for the Raiders means he should be owned in 2QB leagues.Minshew is expected to earn 10% of his projected 148 fantasy points by rushing. While running is in his wheelhouse, it isn't a major focus of his gameplan. With a projection of 9.4 interceptions compared to 13.2 passing touchdowns, Minshew comes with some significant interception risk each week.

Aidan O'Connell will be watching from the bench as Gardner Minshew II starts for the Raiders. You can safely leave him on the waiver wire. O'Connell is expected to earn 9% of his projected 85 fantasy points by rushing. He relies on his arm for his fantasy value, which isn't really problem considering he's a quarterback. Projected for 5.2 interceptions compared to 7.3 passing TDs, he comes with some significant interception risk each week.

Zamir White is correctly valued at his ADP of 73 as the consensus #71 overall player. At a projected workload of 16.6 touches per game (14.4 carries and 2.1 receptions), White is an every-week fantasy starter. He's the top dog among running backs in Las Vegas, with Alexander Mattison and Dylan Laube behind him. Las Vegas has the 4th-worst schedule for RBs.

Alexander Mattison is worth drafting at his ADP of 201 as the consensus #204 overall player. With a projection of 6.8 carries and 1.0 catches per game, Mattison has limited potential. He's second among Raiders running backs, behind Zamir White. The Raiders have the 4th-worst schedule for RBs.

Dylan Laube is correctly valued at his ADP of 246 as the consensus #303 overall player. Projected to carry the ball 0.9 times and catch 0.5 passes per game, Laube is not worth spending a draft pick on. He has some competition on Las Vegas's depth chart in Zamir White and Alexander Mattison. The Raiders have the 4th-worst schedule for RBs.

Davante Adams is a fair value at his ADP of 15 as the consensus #24 overall player. Adams is the bonafide top receiver on the Raiders, ahead of Jakobi Meyers and Michael Gallup. Ranked #14 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's an every week starter. He's projected for 1,195 yards and 7.1 TDs on 94.6 receptions, for 46.8% of the workload for Raiders WRs. The Raiders have the 3rd-worst schedule for wide receivers.

Brock Bowers is projected for a solid 651 yards and 3.9 TDs on 56.9 receptions. As our #12 TE, Bowers will be a starter in most leagues, but that doesn't mean you'll feel great about having him on your team. Bowers is correctly valued at his ADP of 104 as the consensus #107 overall player. Las Vegas has the best schedule for tight ends.
Category: Preseason Insights
At rank 27 among tight ends, Michael Mayer is not fantasy-relevant. Mayer is projected to catch just 32.6 receptions for 362 yards and 2.1 touchdowns. Mayer is not Las Vegas's top tight end with Brock Bowers around.
Category: Preseason Insights
Harrison Bryant is projected to catch only 0 receptions for 0 yards and 0 touchdowns. As the consensus #71, you can do better than drafting Bryant. Bryant is not Gardner Minshew II's first or even second choice at tight end, with Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer on the roster.
