Las Vegas Raiders
AFC West
The Raiders' D/ST logged four sacks and no turnovers while allowing 19 points in Friday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact: Las Vegas' defense failed to record a turnover on Friday, but they still ended up having a nice performance. They logged four sacks and held Kansas City's offense to just 19 points, which was almost enough to secure the win. This unit has tough matchups coming up in the next two weeks against the Buccaneers and Falcons, so fantasy managers should avoid starting them for the foreseeable future.

Daniel Carlson went just 1-of-4 on field goal attempts and made both of his extra point attempts in Friday's 19-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact: Carlson had a terrible game on Friday. He ended up with just five points on the night, and he left nine points on the board by missing three out of his four field goal attempts. Fantasy managers and Raiders' fans alike are likely disappointed with this performance out of the veteran kicker, especially because the Raiders' could've won if he would've been a bit more efficient.

Tre Tucker caught one pass for 58 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 19-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact: Tucker was targeted just one time on Friday, but he was able to make the most out of it, catching it and taking it to the house for a 58-yard touchdown. He ended up with a solid performance, but he doesn't see enough work to be fantasy relevant every week moving forward.

Sincere McCormick rushed the ball 12 times for 64 yards and caught two passes for one yard in Friday's 19-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact: McCormick played relatively well on Friday, leading the team in rushing yards in a close loss to the Chiefs. He saw more work than usual with Zamir White (quad) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) out for the Raiders, and it's possible that he earned more opportunities for himself even when those guys are back in the lineup in the future.

Ameer Abdullah rushed the ball ten times for 39 yards and caught two passes for 14 yards in Friday's 19-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact: Abdullah wasn't able to do much on Friday, despite seeing a solid 12 opportunities over the course of the afternoon. He was outproduced for Sincere McCormick, and with Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad) possibly returning to the lineup in the near future, fantasy managers shouldn't pay much mind to Abdullah moving forward.

Jakobi Meyers caught 6-of-11 targets for 97 yards in Friday's 19-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact: Meyers played well on Friday. He fell just three yards shy of logging a 100-yard performance against the Chiefs, and was one of the primary reasons that Las Vegas was even in the game against their divisional rivals. He should continue to be a quality starter in PPR formats over the rest of the season.

Brock Bowers caught 10-of-14 targets for 140 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 19-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact: The rookie was absolutely dominant on Friday. He led the team in targets, receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns against the Chiefs, which left him with an elite fantasy total on the day. He is already in the conversation for the best tight end in football and should continue to dominate over the rest of the season, no matter who is at QB for the Raiders.

Aidan O'Connell completed 23-of-35 passing attempts for 340 yards and two touchdowns in Friday's 19-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact: O'Connell got the start for the Raiders on Friday, and he ended up playing very well. He threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns on the afternoon, but he also lost one fumble, which didn't help his fantasy total. Beyond that, he got the ball to Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers well, so fantasy managers of those guys should be excited for him to continue to start moving forward.

Raiders RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) is officially inactive for a Week 13 matchup with the Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact: Mattison was a limited participant in practice this week and was deemed questionable for Friday's matchup with the Chiefs. With Zamir White (quad) also ruled out, Ameer Abdullah and Sincere McCormick should see the bulk of the snaps at running back for the Raiders.

Desmond Ridder completed 5-of-10 passes for 64 yards in the Raiders 29-19 loss to Denver.
Fantasy Impact: Ridder came into the game after Gardner Minshew left with a broken collarbone. Ridder could draw the start against the Chiefs on Friday with Minshew out for the remainder of the season.

Raiders QB Gardner Minshew II will miss the remainder of the season with a broken collarbone.
Fantasy Impact: Minshew suffered the injury in the loss to Denver Sunday. Prior to the injury, he completed 25-of-42 passes for 230 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The Raiders will likely wait to announce who will start Friday until later in the week.

DJ Turner caught all four of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in a 27-20 loss to the Chiefs in Week 8.
Fantasy Impact: Turner hauled in an 11-yard touchdown pass from Gardner Minshew in the fourth quarter. The veteran wideout has now contributed two touchdowns this season as he rushed for one against the Browns back in Week 4. Turner will take on the Bengals in Week 9.

Maxx Crosby (ankle) was a non-participant at practice on Thursday. (Source: Kevin Bolinger on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Crosby's ankle injury may be an issue. He was a full participant at practice on Wednesday, but he wasn't able to practice at all on Thursday because of it. Friday's practice will be more telling for his Week 8 status, but if he's out, that will be devastating for Las Vegas' defense.
