Las Vegas Raiders Transactions

		Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jarrett Stidham (elbow) was a full practice participant Wednesday. He was limited in Tuesday's session but returned to full capacity on Wednesday. The 26-year-old is coming off an impressive performance in the Week 17 loss to the 49ers, throwing for 365 yards and three touchdowns. Stidham has a plus matchup against the Chiefs on Saturday and will look to build on last Sunday's terrific outing. The former New England Patriot is in the QB2 conversation against Kansas City, who ranks 21st in Pass DVOA this season.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (illness) practiced in full on Wednesday after he was limited on Tuesday due to an illness. Adams should be just fine to suit up for the Week 18 regular season finale on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Fantasy managers were extremely worried about a slumping Adams last weekend with quarterback Jarrett Stidham getting the start, but those concerns quickly went away after Adams went for seven catches, a season-high 153 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets in the overtime loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 30-year-old is an absolute must-start in single-season leagues and will also be attractive in DFS in Week 18. In the first meeting against KC in Week 5, Adams had three catches for 124 yards and two scores.
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hip, oblique) is officially listed as questionable for the Week 18 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 24-year-old missed two practices this week due to personal reasons. It's also worth noting that Jacobs is a little banged up heading into this game. The Raiders don't have anything to play for in this game, but do expect the NFL's leading rusher to be on the field. The expectation is that he'll have his normal workload on Sunday. He's a must-start fantasy player, assuming he suits up for this game.

		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hip/oblique) was estimated as limited in Tuesday's practice. It has been a frequent occurrence for the 24-year-old throughout the season but has not impacted his availability on game day, meaning there is nothing to be concerned about at the moment. The league's rushing leader is coming off an impressive outing against the stout San Francisco defense, racking up 95 total yards and a touchdown. The team will host Kansas City in Week 18, offering Jacobs another chance to finish as a top-12 back.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (illness) was estimated as limited in Tuesday's practice. The 30-year-old has not been on the injury report very often this season, and because it was an illness that impacted his participation, there is little reason to be worried. The former Packer is coming off a monster game against the 49ers, hauling in seven passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns. It was a surprising performance, given that he had three disappointing weeks before that, and Jarrett Stidham was the starter. He'll enter their Week 18 matchup against the Chiefs as a must-start receiver with a massive ceiling.
		Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jarrett Stidham (elbow) was estimated as limited in Tuesday's practice. The 26-year-old debuted against San Francisco last week, putting forth an impressive performance that nearly earned the team a win. He committed two turnovers but threw for 365 yards and three touchdowns, producing a better fantasy output than Derek Carr has all year. It's no guarantee he will repeat those numbers this week against the Chiefs but given the weapons he has at his disposal and the matchup, he becomes an intriguing streamer or QB2, especially when other teams will be resting or limiting playing time for their starters.

		Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (coach's decision) and running back Zamir White (ankle) are inactive for Week 17 against the San Francisco 49ers. Carr's benching was reported earlier this week, and the Raiders will make him inactive in order to prevent him from injury. Jarrett Stidham will start versus the Niners while Chase Garbers backs him up. Meanwhile, White, a rookie, had been listed as questionable. Veterans Brandon Bolden and Ameer Abdullah will back up Josh Jacobs for the time being.

		The Las Vegas Raiders officially placed defensive end Chandler Jones (elbow) and linebacker Denzel Perryman (shoulder) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Jones had to be carted off the field on Christmas Eve, and he and Perryman will miss the final two regular season games. In his first year in Vegas, Jones finished with 38 tackles (21 solo), three tackles for loss, 15 QB hits, 4.5 sacks, a forced fumble and three fumble recoveries in 15 starts. Perryman suffered a dislocated shoulder in the same loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16. The 30-year-old will finish his second year in black and silver with 83 tackles (54 solo), 14 tackles for loss, five QB hits, one sack and two interceptions in 12 games played.

		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quad, hand) is expected to play against the New England Patriots on Sunday. He had been listed as questionable. Jacobs has enjoyed insane production this season, amassing 1,402 rushing yards, 346 receiving yards, and 11 touchdowns. Vegas' offense certainly runs through its star running back, and he should continue to be started in 100 percent of leagues this week.
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quad, hand) is officially active for Week 15 against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as questionable. Jacobs has enjoyed insane production this season, amassing 1,402 rushing yards, 346 receiving yards, and 11 touchdowns. Vegas' offense certainly runs through its star running back, and he should continue to be started in 100 percent of leagues this week.
		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) and wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (oblique) are active for Week 15 against the New England Patriots. Both players were activated from injured reserve on Saturday. Waller is expected to see a full workload and therefore ranks as a TE1. On the other hand, Renfrow is also fully healthy but should be benched in most fantasy leagues considering we don't know what type of role he'll have.

		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) is uncertain to suit up in Week 15 versus New England. The veteran has missed over two months with a hamstring issue. However, despite being designated to return from injured reserve, head coach Josh McDaniels remains "non-committal" on activating Waller. With Hunter Renfrow (oblique) in the same boat, Mack Hollins and Foster Moreau may continue to support Davante Adams against the Pats. That said, neither Hollins or Moreau are consistent fantasy options by any means.
		Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels is non-committal on activating wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (oblique) from Injured Reserve on Saturday so that he can pay in Week 15 against the New England Patriots on Sunday. The team will make a decision on Renfrow and tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) after they practice on Saturday. Renfrow has been on Injured Reserve since getting hurt in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Even if he's activated on Saturday and is active on Sunday, fantasy managers should expect the Raiders to ease him back into the receiver rotation. Even before his injury, the 26-year-old hadn't been as consistent of a fantasy option with All-Pro Davante Adams eating up most of the targets. Renfrow has caught 21 of 29 targets for 192 yards and no touchdowns in six games after posting a 1,000-yard season in 2021.
		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) has been added to the 53-man roster and is eligible to play on Sunday against New England. Head coach Josh McDaniels couldn't say one way or another if Waller would be back in 15 after missing over two months. However, it appears the veteran had a good week at practice. While there are many fantasy managers excited about Waller's return, it's unknown exactly how much action he'll receive, making him a risky fantasy option across the board versus a challenging Patriots defense.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (oblique) was activated ahead of Sunday's game versus New England. Josh McDaniels was non-committal about the wideout's status for Week 15. However, it appears he looked good enough during practice throughout the week to give him the green light. Renfrow finished 2021-22 with nine touchdowns while amassing 1,038 yards and 103 catches. However, the 26-year-old didn't find the end zone in any of his six appearances before going down with the injury. As a result, Renfrow is not someone to consider in any fantasy format until he proves he's back on track, especially against a tough Patriots defense.

		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hand, quadriceps) remained a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Jacobs picked up a hand injury in last Thursday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams and looked to be in a good deal of pain, but the fact that he hasn't missed any practice time this week suggests he'll be fine to play this weekend against the New England Patriots. The 24-year-old has been questionable going into the last three games, but he's hasn't missed any time, so fantasy managers shouldn't be worried if he picks up another questionable tag on Friday's final injury report. Jacobs has been the most valuable fantasy RB in 2022 and needs to stay in all fantasy starting lineups if he's active against New England.
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hand, quadriceps) wasn't able to ditch a questionable tag for the Week 15 game against the New England Patriots on Sunday. It's the fourth straight week that Jacobs has been listed as questionable heading into game day, but he hasn't missed any time yet and is fully expected to play this weekend after practicing on a limited basis all week. The 24-year-old has been excelling despite not being 100 percent healthy, and he enters Week 15 as the RB1 in overall fantasy points in 2022. In the last four games, Jacobs has 581 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 110 rushing attempts, adding 13 catches for 146 additional yards. Keep him locked into your starting lineups as a high-end RB1 against the Patriots.

		After suffering a hand injury in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hand, quadriceps) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Jacobs looked to be in a fair bit of pain after suffering a hand injury last Thursday night, but he played through it and should continue to do so in Week 15 against the New England Patriots. He had 27 carries for 99 yards and a touchdown and added two receptions for 15 yards in the loss to the Rams last week. Jacobs remains the overall RB1 in half-point PPR scoring through 14 weeks of the 2022 season with 11 total touchdowns (all rushing), and he'll remain a must-start RB1 in all fantasy lineups this weekend.

		The Las Vegas Raiders designated tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) and wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (oblique) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. It opens a 21-day practice window for the Raiders to officially activate both players from IR. Depending on how they look at practice this week, both Waller and Renfrow could return in Week 15 against the New England Patriots this Sunday. Waller hasn't played since Week 5, and Renfrow has been sidelined since Week 9, so the Raiders could certainly ease both players back into the offense if they're active this weekend. With the fantasy playoffs beginning this week in most leagues, both Waller and Renfrow will be risky starting options if they are back. Receiver Mack Hollins will be affected the most by the eventual returns of Waller and Renfrow.

		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hand) left Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams mid-way through the third quarter with an apparent hand injury. The team officially ruled that he was questionable to return to the game. He went to the locker room to get X-rays. On the broadcast, he seemed to be holding onto his pinkie finger as he walked away. Before he left, he amassed 73 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries with one catch for eight yards. Fantasy managers should check back for any updates, as this would be a big blow for both the Raiders and fantasy teams if he has to miss any time right before the fantasy playoffs.
		Updating a previous report, Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hand) left the Thursday night game against the Los Angeles Rams for part of the third quarter to deal with a hand injury. He re-entered the game and seems to still be in pain. As he tried to stiff-arm a defender, a replay showed him grimacing in the process. Fantasy managers will still want to keep tabs on his health once the game is over. The good news is that they have an extended break before their Week 15 game against the New England Patriots.
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (finger) had X-rays done on his pinkie finger during the Thursday night game against the Los Angeles Rams, but they came back negative, so there shouldn't be much concern about his availability moving forward. Jacobs was able to finish the game against the Rams on Thursday after a brief exit and posted 99 rushing yards and a touchdown on 27 attempts. Jacobs continues to be a breakout fantasy football star, so his latest injury update is a sigh of relief for his fantasy managers as the fantasy playoffs begin next week.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. He was limited at practice earlier in the week, but it will be all systems go for Thursday Night Football. The 29-year-old has a vital role in passing-down situations, catching 18 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown over 12 games in 2022. Abdullah is a boom-or-bust flex in PPR formats for Week 14 against a Rams defense that is 27th in rush DVOA versus opposing running backs.
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quad, calf) is expected to play Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. The 24-year-old is listed as questionable but will suit up for Thursday Night Football. This week, he was limited in practice due to calf/quad injuries. Jacobs has been fantastic this season, rushing for 1,303 yards and 10 touchdowns while catching 42 passes for 331 yards over 12 games. Jacobs is a must-start in any format against a banged-up Rams defense that will be without star Aaron Donald.
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (calf, quad) will be active for the Thursday Night matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The 24-year-old was questionable coming into this game due to lingering calf and quad injuries. However, it appears Jacobs is good to go and should have his normal workload during this contest. Jacobs has been putting on a show lately and is a must-start against this Rams defense in Week 14.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (calf, quadriceps) has been dealing with injuries the past two weeks, but it hasn't impacted his production. In fact, he's actually had two of his best games all year, rushing for 273 yards and three touchdowns on 59 carries, adding eight receptions for 80 yards. The 24-year-old was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday, which is not surprising considering the heavy workload. He does not appear to be in any danger of missing Thursday's game against the Rams, meaning he'll be locked into lineups again in what should be another great performance. Fantasy managers will want to confirm his practice report on Wednesday and game status on Thursday, but the expectation is he'll be good to.
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quad, calf) was limited in practice again on Wednesday and is officially listed as questionable for a Week 14 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. Jacobs has been dealing with a calf injury for a few weeks now, but it has not sidelined him for a contest nor slowed him down in any capacity, as he has finished as a fantasy RB1 in four straight games. Fantasy managers should monitor Jacobs' status leading up to Thursday night's kickoff, but he will remain a must-start option assuming he is active.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders running backs Josh Jacobs (calf, quadriceps), Ameer Abdullah (hamstring) and Brandon Bolden (calf) were all listed as limited participants on Monday's estimated practice report. Jacobs had his third straight 100-yard rushing performance and added a touchdown in the Week 13 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. In his last three games, he's carried the ball 83 times for 482 yards and three touchdowns, adding 11 receptions on 13 targets for 131 yards through the air. The 24-year-old has been the most valuable fantasy RB in 2022. The Raiders could take it easy on him this week and he might draw another questionable tag for the Thursday night game against the Los Angeles Rams, but it's likely that he'll play. Jacobs needs to remain firmly locked into all starting fantasy lineups.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (calf) appears to be a legitimate game-time decision for Sunday's Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. He was limited in practice throughout the week due to a calf injury he suffered in Week 12. The organization is optimistic that Jacobs will be able to suit up this week. The Raiders are likely going to wait and see how he feels in warmups before making a final decision. He'll be a strong RB1, assuming he's able to play. Otherwise, Ameer Abdullah and Zamir White would split the workload with Brandon Bolden (calf) questionable as well.
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (calf), who was listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 13 due to his calf injury, will play, according to a source. The Raiders wanted to evaluate Jacobs during pre-game warmups, but apparently he's already convinced them that he's healthy enough to suit up. The 24-year-old is the RB1 in fantasy entering Sunday's action after he destroyed the Seattle Seahawks on the ground for over 200 yards last week. He should see plenty of touches yet again against a shaky Chargers run defense, making him an absolute must-start in fantasy lineups.
		Las Vegas Raiders running backs Josh Jacobs (calf) and Brandon Bolden (calf) are officially active for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Both players were listed as questionable after being limited in practice all week long. Jacobs followed a similar injury pattern last week, receiving the "questionable" designation but ultimately being active. He even missed a few snaps during the contest, then proceeded to register a record-breaking 303 scrimmage yards. Thus, fantasy managers should have no hesitance when starting Jacobs this week. He has shown that he can perform at a high level even after recovering from injury. On the other hand, Bolden should be near 100 percent, but he is still a depth piece in the Raiders' offense and should be left on waivers in fantasy leagues.

		Las Vegas Raiders running backs Josh Jacobs (calf) and Brandon Bolden (calf) were both limited in practice all week and are questionable for Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jacobs aggravated a left calf injury in the Week 12 win over the Seattle Seahawks, but he also ran for over 200 yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries and added six catches for 74 yards. The overall RB1 on the year looks to be on the right side of questionable for this weekend and should remain plastered to all starting fantasy lineups against a suspect Chargers run defense. In the season opener against LA, Jacobs had a season-low 10 carries for 57 yards and caught his only target for a 16-yard gain. If the 24-year-old is limited our out altogether, Ameer Abdullah and rookie Zamir White figure to split the backfield.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders running backs Josh Jacobs (calf) and Brandon Bolden (calf) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. The Raiders were hoping Jacobs would be available to play in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers after he aggravated his left calf injury in Week 12, and all signs are pointing toward Jacobs being available. The 24-year-old is now the overall RB1 in half-point PPR scoring after going off for a career-high 229 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries last Sunday. He also caught six of seven targets for a season-high 74 yards in the overtime win over the Seattle Seahawks. If Jacobs is active on Sunday, which is looks like he will be, he's an absolute must-start RB1 against the Chargers' shaky run defense.

		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (calf) was listed as a limited practice participant during Wednesday's walkthrough. It was just an estimation, but it's still a good sign after Jacobs aggravated a left calf injury in the Week 12 overtime win over the Seattle Seahawks. The 24-year-old had 33 carries for a career-high 229 yards and two touchdowns while adding six catches for an additional 74 yards last Sunday to carry fantasy managers. The overall RB1 in fantasy in 2022 could be questionable to face the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday, though, but hopefully we'll have a better idea of his status before game time. We'll continue to keep a close eye on his practice status the rest of the week. If he's out or limited against the Bolts, Ameer Abdullah and rookie Zamir White could split the backfield.
		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) and wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (oblique) are both eligible to come off Injured Reserve in time for the Week 14 game next Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams, but head coach Josh McDaniels isn't sure if the short window will have them ready in time for that game. However, McDaniels said Waller and Renfrow were getting "close." Waller has been out since Week 5 and Renfrow hasn't seen the field since Week 9. Both players should be back before the end of the regular season, but they are running out of time to help fantasy managers. In their absences, tight end Foster Moreau and receiver Mack Hollins have been productive and are worth streaming this weekend against the Los Angeles Chargers.
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Brandon Bolden (calf) was limited in Wednesday's practice. The 32-year-old exited the Week 12 win over the Seahawks early with a calf issue. He rushed for 10 yards on two attempts and caught all five targets for 32 yards during last Sunday's win. The severity of Bolden's calf injury is unknown, and he is considered day-to-day. Bolden will have two more chances to practice to have a chance of suiting up against the Chargers in Week 13. The veteran back is mainly used on special teams and has a minor role in the passing game, making him a dart throw at best in deep-league formats.

Tuesday, November 29

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (calf) is not expected to practice much, if at all this week due to his calf strain, according to sources. He'll receive around-the-clock treatment in hopes of playing in Week 13 against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. Fantasy managers should expect Jacobs to be questionable for this weekend's game after he aggravated a calf strain in the Week 12 overtime win over the Seattle Seahawks when he rumbled for a season-high 229 yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries. The 24-year-old is the RB1 in half-point PPR scoring this year, so he'll be a must-start if he's active against the Bolts. If he doesn't get cleared this week, Ameer Abdullah would likely lead a backfield that would also include Brandon Bolden and rookie Zamir White. Abdullah is worth a speculative waiver-wire pickup this week.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (calf) is expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, according to ESPN.com's Adam Schefter. There was some concern about Jacobs' status after he was a late addition to the injury report on Friday, but it looks like he's on track to play. The 24-year-old has totaled 930 rushing yards, 251 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns this season. He should be viewed as a strong RB1 option once again this week.

There was some concern about Jacobs' status after he was a late addition to the injury report on Friday, but in the end, he's going to be active for his 25th consecutive game.

		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (calf) was added to the injury report on Friday after getting in a limited practice, and he's officially listed as questionable to play in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. It's never a good sign when players are late additions to the injury report, so Jacobs' status bears watching heading into Sunday's game. If the 24-year-old is limited or out this weekend, the Raiders would probably roll with some form of a committee backfield that includes Brandon Bolden, Ameer Abdullah, Brittain Brown and rookie Zamir White. Through 11 weeks of the 2022 season, Jacobs is the RB5 in half-point PPR scoring, so he'll be a high-end, must-start RB1 if he's active.

		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (abdomen) is expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. He had been limited in practice all week long and was ultimately labeled as "questionable" heading into the weekend. Fantasy managers should continue to view him as a high-end WR1.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (abdomen) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. He had been listed as questionable, but the expectation was that he would play. The star receiver has 272 yards and three touchdowns over his last two games. He should be viewed as a high-end WR1 once again this Sunday.

		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. He was limited at practice this week due to an abdominal injury. His status for Sunday's game will be confirmed an hour before the 4:05 et kickoff; fantasy managers should plan in case Adams is ruled out. In their last matchup, the 29-year-old torched the Broncos, catching nine passes for 101 yards. If active, Adams is a surefire WR1 and should be in all lineups for Week 11.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (abdomen) was limited in the team's practice on Wednesday. It is currently unknown whether or not the injury has a chance to sideline him in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos. Adams has found the end zone and topped 100 yards in back-to-back contests while seeing 14 or more targets in each, and would be in line for another heavy workload on Sunday with Darren Waller (hamstring) and Hunter Renfrow (oblique) on injured reserve. If Adams is inactive, Mack Hollins, Keelan Cole, and Foster Moreau would be the primary beneficiaries. Fantasy managers will need to monitor practice reports throughout the week but should not yet panic about the star wideout's availability.

		The Las Vegas Raiders claimed former first-round defensive tackle Jerry Tillery off waivers from the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday. Besides the Raiders, the Lions, Panthers, Colts, 49ers, Jets, Giants and Chiefs all put in waiver claims for Tillery. The 26-year-old will now head to the Chargers' division rivals after posting 106 tackles (57 solo), 12 tackles for loss, 33 QB hits, 10.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in his four seasons with the Bolts. He had his best season last year, but Tillery has struggled in seven games in 2022 and is also dealing with a back injury. In his seven games this year, Tillery has just eight tackles (five solo), one sack and a forced fumble. Tiller will work to get healthy before providing depth on the Raiders' D-line the rest of the season.

		Las Vegas Raiders linebacker Blake Martinez announced his retirement from the NFL on Thursday in a statement that he posted on his Instagram account. He signed with the Raiders in October and played in four games, recording 20 tackles (14 solo). The New York Giants released Martinez at final cuts in the summer. He was originally a fourth-round selection in 2016 by the Green Bay Packers out of Stanford. The 28-year-old spent the first four seasons of his career with the Packers before playing with the Giants for two years. Martinez will finish his seven-year NFL career with a total of 706 tackles (442 solo), 13 sacks, 39 tackles for loss, 18 QB hits, four interceptions, 22 passes defensed, four forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 84 regular season games (78 starts).

		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) and wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (hamstring, ribs) were both listed as limited in Wednesday's practice. Waller continues to work his way back from a hamstring injury that has kept him out since Week 5. He's been one of the biggest disappoints in fantasy this year and is questionable, at best, in Week 10 against the Indianapolis Colts. If he misses yet another game, Foster Moreau will be back on the TE2 streaming radar. Renfrow could also be up in the air after picking up two injuries in Week 9. The addition of All-Pro Davante Adams has really hurt Renfrow's fantasy stock this year, and he's turned into an uninspiring WR4/flex in deeper leagues. He has 21 catches for 192 yards and is still searching for his first touchdown after six games played.
		The Las Vegas Raiders placed tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, according to a source. Waller aggravated his hamstring injury and the Raiders think this will give him four weeks to get healthy in order to finish the season strong. He won't be eligible to play in the next four games, so fantasy managers need to keep him stashed in an IR spot for the time being. The 30-year-old has been a huge disappointment as a TE1 for fantasy managers in 2022, as he has just 16 receptions for 175 yards and one touchdown in five games. Foster Moreau will continue to serve as the top pass-catching tight end for Vegas, although it hasn't amounted to much. Moreau has only 11 receptions on 19 targets for 101 yards and no scores in his last three games with Waller sidelined.
		The Las Vegas Raiders are placing wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (oblique) on Injured Reserve on Thursday due to his oblique injury, according to a source. Both Renfrow and tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) have been put on IR on the same day, which opens up more opportunities for receiver Mack Hollins and Foster Moreau moving forward. Renfrow and Waller will both miss at least the next four games. Renfrow isn't worth stashing in shallow fantasy leagues. Hollins is certainly much more intriguing now and should be scooped up off the waiver wire immediately. He will serve as the No. 2 wideout and already has 28 catches on 44 targets for 398 yards and two touchdowns in eight games. Look for DJ Turner and Keelan Cole to have bigger roles as well.

		In a surprise move, the Las Vegas Raiders released former first-round safety Johnathan Abram on Tuesday, according to a source. The Raiders shopped Abram at the trade deadline last week but found no takers, so he'll head to waivers. The 26-year-old was benched in Week 8 and has played only 52 defensive sacks in the last two games. The Raiders are moving forward with Duron Harmon and Trevon Moehrig as their starting safeties after moving on from Abram. The former 27th overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft is a physical presence and plays with his hair on fire, but he just hasn't proven to be good enough in coverage. Abram will surely latch on with another team, but he's obviously off the fantasy radar in IDP leagues for now.

		Las Vegas Raiders linebacker Divine Deablo (forearm) suffered a forearm injury during Sunday's loss to Jacksonville. He didn't return. The 24-year-old has been productive this season, amassing 73 total tackles. Considering Deablo dealt with different ailments heading into Week 9, there's a chance he won't be on the field for the Raiders' next game versus Indianapolis, even if there isn't anything seriously wrong with his forearm.
		Free-agent cornerback Sidney Jones IV is expected to sign with the Raiders. Jones, who was recently released by the Seahawks, has accumulated 147 total tackles, 29 passes defensed, and four interceptions since being drafted in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft. With Vegas allowing 255 passing yards per game in 2022-23, the team could certainly use all the help it can get. With that said, it's unknown how much work Jones will receive for his new team early on, so a potential fantasy impact may not be immediate.

		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) isn't expected to play on Sunday against Jacksonville, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. The 30-year-old has been out since Week 5. However, despite the chance he'd be back for this one, fantasy managers will remain hopeful he'll return in Week 10 versus the Colts. In the meantime, Foster Moreau should continue to fill the void at the tight end spot. Moreau has 15 catches for 133 yards this season. Yet, he hasn't scored a touchdown, so putting him in any fantasy lineup is a gamble.

		Las Vegas Raiders wide receivers Davante Adams (illness) and Mack Hollins (heel) were removed from Friday's final injury report and will be active in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Adams was questionable to play in last week's loss to the New Orleans Saints due to an illness. He ended up suiting up but played a season-low 72 percent of the offensive snaps and caught just one of five targets for three yards. With better health this week, Adams should be looking at a bounce-back performance for fantasy managers. Hollins was limited all week but is good to go and will be the No. 3 wideout behind Adams and Hunter Renfrow, and his fantasy ceiling will be lowered further if tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) makes his return.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) is officially questionable for the team's Week 9 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Waller hasn't played since Week 5, so his return could come back any time soon, and he's trending toward playing this week. That said, he could be ruled out before Sunday, so fantasy managers should be ready to replace him again if necessary. Even though the Jaguars are a tough matchup for tight ends, Waller is a must-start since he still has top-five upside among tight ends. Foster Moreau is a strong streaming option if Waller is ultimately held out for one more week.

		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (illness) was upgraded to a full participant during Thursday's practice. This is good news after Adams has been limited due to an illness this week. Now, it sounds like the 29-year-old is feeling better and ready to get back on the field. Last week, Adams was held to one catch, but he should rebound in Week 9. It sounds like he's healthy again, so he should be considered a must-start in all fantasy leagues.
		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) and wide receiver Mack Hollins (heel) were both limited in practice again on Thursday. Waller hasn't played since Week 5, but he looks to have a real chance to return this weekend to face the Jacksonville Jaguars. If he's active, he'll return to his role as the starting tight end and as a low-end TE1 in fantasy, but he's disappointed so far in 2022 with 16 catches for 175 yards and one score in five games. If he's out again, Foster Moreau will once again be a TE2 streamer in deeper leagues. Hollins should be able to play this weekend, but his target share will take a hit if Waller is back on the field this Sunday. The 29-year-old had seven catches for 64 yards last week and has two TDs on the year, but he's a boom/bust deep-league flex play, at best.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (illness), who had just one catch for three yards in the Week 8 loss to the New Orleans Saints after missing two practices last week with an illness, was limited in Wednesday's practice. Adams also played a season-low 72 percent of the offensive snaps in last week's shutout loss. The 29-year-old should be fine to play this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he should be able to bounce back if he's feeling better. Adams hasn't been quite as good as he was while working with Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, but he still checks in as the WR9 in half-point PPR leagues with 39 receptions for 512 yards and five touchdowns in only seven games in 2022. If he's active, Adams is a must-start for fantasy managers.
		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) and wide receiver Mack Hollins (heel) were both listed as limited participants in practice on Wednesday. Waller hasn't played since Week 5 and has missed the team's last two contests. If he can return to a full practice later this week, he'll have a good shot at playing in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he'll be a low-end TE1 for fantasy managers. He's been a big disappointment as a TE1 so far in 2022, coming in as the TE26 through eight weeks with only 16 catches for 175 yards and one score in four games. Hollins has been playing through a heel injury and caught seven passes for 64 yards last week. The 29-year-old does have 381 receiving yards and two TDs in seven games, but he'll be a boom/bust WR4/flex for fantasy managers in Week 9.

		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (illness) is expected to play on Sunday against the Saints. The wideout missed a few practices throughout the week due to a bout with the flu. However, he's reportedly feeling better and should remain a must-start in all fantasy formats, despite the chance that he won't be 100% in Week 8.
		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) will miss Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The 30-year-old tight end continues to deal with a lingering hamstring issue. He's close to returning, but isn't quite ready to get back on the field. In the meantime, Foster Moreau should see more involvement in the offense. Although, he's not an ideal streaming option for Week 8. He'll be a desperation option for fantasy managers who don't have a trustworthy tight end option.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (illness) is active for the Week 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. He missed a few practices during the week due to an illness, but it appears Adams feels good enough to play on Sunday. The expectation is that he'll get a full workload despite dealing with an illness. The absence of Darren Waller (hamstring) could mean an increased usage for Adams. Regardless, he'll be a must-start in all fantasy formats.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Mack Hollins (heel) will suit up for the Week 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The 29-year-old was battling a heel issue in practice, but it sounds like he'll take the field in this one. Davante Adams (illness) and Hunter Renfrow (hip) are also active for this contest. Normally, Hollins wouldn't have much of a role, but the loss of Darren Waller (hip) could open up more targets for him. Despite that, he'll be a desperation option in deep leagues with Adams and Renfrow healthy.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (foot) was removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Jacobs logged a few limited practices during the week but returned for a full session on Friday. The 24-year-old has been on a roll, amassing 441 yards and six touchdowns off 69 carries while totaling 13 catches in his last three games. With Davante Adams (illness), Mack Hollins (heel), and Darren Waller (hamstring) questionable, Jacobs could be even more involved in Week 8, keeping him a must-start in all formats.
		Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (back) was removed from the injury report for Sunday's meeting with New Orleans. The 31-year-old practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday but was expected to play all along after returning for full sessions on Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately, the Raiders are dealing with several questionable tags, with Davante Adams (illness), Mack Hollins (heel), and Darren Waller (hamstring) uncertain for Week 8. As a result, Carr could be without some of his favorite targets. However, Carr will at least have Hunter Renfrow (hip) and Josh Jacobs (foot), so his outlook remains favorable against a Saints defense that has struggled against opposing quarterbacks this season.
		New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) has been ruled out in Week 8 against the Las Vegas Raiders after not practicing all week. Meanwhile, cornerback Paul Adebo (knee) is questionable after being a limited practice participant all week. Lattimore will miss his third straight game after getting injured in Week 5. It's more bad news for the Saints battered secondary, and if Adebo can't suit up, rookie Alontae Taylor should once again see plenty of playing time. Lattimore's absence is good news for Raiders wideout Davante Adams, who is questionable to play due to an illness. Through seven weeks, New Orleans' secondary has allowed 217.3 passing yards per game to their opponents.

Friday, October 28

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (illness) and tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) are both questionable to face the New Orleans Saints in Week 8. Adams has been dealing with non-COVID illness and returned to a limited practice Friday after two DNPs earlier in the week. The 29-year-old is trending in the right direction and should remain in all starting fantasy lineups if he's active this Sunday against a beat up Saints secondary. Waller has a chance to return after missing the Week 7 win over the Houston Texans with three limited practices this week. If he's active, he'll be in play as a low-end TE1 while hoping to turn around a disappointing season to this point. Fantasy managers will want to check their statuses early Sunday morning.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (hip) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints, while Mack Hollins (heel) is listed as questionable. Renfrow will start in the slot against a banged up Saints secondary, but the potential return of tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) would be more bad news for Renfrow, who is still searching for his first touchdown of the 2022 season. Renfrow has become a lower-ceiling WR4/flex for fantasy managers. Hollins hasn't missed a game this year and should be available against New Orleans. Much like Renfrow, he'll continue to be an inconsistent WR4/flex in deeper leagues, although he does have a 100-yard game and two touchdowns in six games in 2022.

Thursday, October 27

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (back) and tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Carr is dealing with what sounds to be a minor back injury, so as long as he doesn't suffer a setback later this week, he should be good to play in Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints and their beat up secondary. Carr threw only one TD pass in Week 7 while running back Josh Jacobs ran for three scores, but he'll be on the QB1/2 borderline this week, especially if he gets Waller back. Waller has missed the last two games but could be on track to play this Sunday. The 30-year-old has disappointed in four games so far as a high-end TE1, though, catching 16 of 24 targets for 175 yards and one touchdown.
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (foot) is on the Week 8 injury report and was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Jacobs should be good to go for Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints, so fantasy managers need to leave him locked into their starting lineups as a surefire RB1. The 24-year-old had his third straight 100-yard rushing game in the Week 7 win over the Houston Texans and currently ranks fourth in total fantasy points at the position in half-point PPR setups. Jacobs didn't find the end zone in the first three weeks, but in the last three games, he's found the end zone six times on the ground while rushing for 441 yards on 69 carries (6.39 yards per tote). He's carrying fantasy teams right now.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receivers Hunter Renfrow (hip) and Mack Hollins (heel) were both listed as limited participants in Wednesday's practice. It doesn't seem like either Renfrow or Hollins are in serious danger of missing Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints, but we'll keep an eye on their status the rest of the week. Renfrow returned from the bye last week with three catches for 55 yards, while Hollins caught two passes for 44 yards and his second TD of the year. Renfrow has yet to find the end zone in 2022 and has really been hurt by the presence of All-Pro Davante Adams in the fantasy realm. With tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) potentially returning this Sunday, Renfrow and Hollins will be WR4/flex options this weekend.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (illness) is expected to suit up for the Week 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The 29-year-old is reportedly dealing with a bad flu, but it doesn't sound like something that is going to hold him out of this game. Adams has missed the last two practices, but he still has plenty of time to get healthy before game time. Fantasy managers should check back again, but it sounds like Adams should play as long as he doesn't have COVID.
		Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (back) was able to get through a full practice session on Thursday. The 31-year-old is dealing with a minor back issue, which limited him on Wednesday. Now, it sounds like Carr is feeling better, which means he should be fine for the Week 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Carr should be considered a low-end QB1 for this upcoming matchup, assuming he doesn't suffer a setback.
		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) remained limited for Thursday's practice session. This is now back-to-back days that Waller has been limited in practice. The good news is, Waller is getting on the field, which means he might actually be able to play for the first time since Week 5. This won't be a great matchup for Waller against a New Orleans Saints defense that defends well against the tight end. He should be considered a low-end TE1, assuming he's able to play. Fantasy managers should check back and see how Friday's practice goes for Waller.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (hip) returned to a full practice on Thursday after showing up as a limited participant on Wednesday. Meanwhile, receiver Mack Hollins (heel) was limited for the second straight day on Thursday. Barring setbacks in the next two days, both Renfrow and Hollins should be good for Sunday's clash with the New Orleans Saints. Renfrow's fantasy value has taken a big hit in 2022 with the presence of Davante Adams (illness). The potential return of tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) this week also wouldn't be good news for fantasy managers considering using either Renfrow or Hollins in their flex spot against New Orleans. Renfrow is still looking for his first touchdown of the season through four games played.
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (foot) put in another limited practice on Thursday. There's nothing to suggest that Jacobs is in danger of missing or being limited for the Week 8 contest against the New Orleans Saints. The 24-year-old has been carrying fantasy teams of late with a whopping 441 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 69 carries in the last three games after not finding the end zone in the first three games of the season. Jacobs is an absolute must-start RB1 for fantasy managers in Week 8 against a Saints defense that has allowed the ninth-most half-points PPR points to RBs in the last three weeks of action.

		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (illness) missed practice on Wednesday due to an illness. As long as Adams is able to get back on the practice field within the next two days, he should be good to go on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, but fantasy managers should keep up to date on his status. Adams hasn't been as good as he was with quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, but he still ranks as the No. 6 fantasy wideout in half-point PPR leagues through the first seven weeks of the season. And if he plays this weekend against a beat up Saints secondary, he'll be a no-brainer must-start in all fantasy lineups for Week 8.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (hip) is expected to play against the Houston Texans on Sunday despite being listed as questionable, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Renfrow has underwhelmed this season, catching just 14 passes for 105 yards through three games. However, with Darren Waller (hamstring) sidelined, Renfrow could have an opportunity to get more involved this week. As a result, he should be viewed as a mid-to-low WR4 in fantasy football.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Mack Hollins (heel) has been banged up all week, but has a chance at playing against the Houston Texans on Sunday. There is optimism that Hollins will be able to suit up in Week 7. The 29-year-old could see more action with the Raiders limited in terms of offensive weapons. Fellow wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (hip) is expected to suit up, which would limit the upside of Hollins. Regardless, Hollins should be considered a low-end WR4 for the upcoming Week 7 contest, assuming he's able to play.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receivers Hunter Renfrow (hip) and Mack Hollins (heel) are active for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. Both players were listed as questionable after logging limited practice sessions on Friday. Renfrow has underwhelmed this season, catching just 14 passes for 105 yards through three games. However, with Darren Waller (hamstring) sidelined, Renfrow could have an opportunity to get more involved this week. Hollins, who has 17 catches, 273 yards, and one touchdown this year, is also expected to see more snaps.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Foster Moreau (knee) is off the injury report and will play against the Texans. Sunday will mark his first game since Week 3, having sat out while dealing with a knee injury. Moreau's production hasn't been the best during his limited action this season. However, with Darren Waller (hamstring) sidelined, there's a chance he may be more involved in Week 7. Moreau's ceiling will rise even more if Hunter Renfrow (hip) and Mack Hollins (heel), both questionable, are also ruled out.
		The Las Vegas Raiders have cut wide receiver Albert Wilson. The 30-year-old was signed to the active roster in Week 5 but did not see the field for any offensive snaps. The team has now moved on following its Week 6 bye as DJ Turner has been activated from Injured Reserve. Turner is expected to be involved on special teams but should not make much of an impact on offense unless Hunter Renfrow (hip) and Mack Hollins (heel) are ruled out against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Still, Davante Adams would be the only receiving option worthy of fantasy consideration in this scenario.

Friday, October 21

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) wasn't able to practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Week 7 against the Houston Texans. Fellow tight end Foster Moreau (knee) returned to a full practice on Friday and will play on Sunday and operate as the top pass-catching tight end for Las Vegas. Waller, who has been a disappointment as a TE1 in fantasy this year with receiver Davante Adams now in town, will be hoping to return in Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints. Moreau will be a viable TE2 streamer in leagues that start two tight ends, although he'll be a touchdown-dependent option.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receivers Hunter Renfrow (hip) and Mack Hollins (heel) are both listed as questionable for the Week 7 contest against the Houston Texans. Renfrow popped up on the injury report on Thursday and was a DNP, but he returned to a limited showing on Friday, giving him a chance to play Sunday. Hollins was limited all week. Renfrow said he was held out for precautionary reasons this week, so there's a good chance both he and Hollins are active this weekend. With tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) ruled out, Renfrow and Hollins could be a bit more involved if they are active. Renfrow is the more attractive WR4/flex play in fantasy lineups, but the Texans defense has been stingy against opposing receivers this year and have allowed just one touchdown.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) was not on the practice field on Wednesday. However, tight end Foster Moreau (knee) was on the field. Head coach Josh McDaniels said he was hopeful that both Waller and Moreau will return in a Week 7 matchup with the Houston Texans. Waller injured his hamstring in Week 5 and played only 13 percent of the offensive snaps, but he has a shot at returning this weekend if he can get back on the practice field on Thursday or Friday. The 30-year-old has been a big disappointment for fantasy managers this year, catching just 16 of 24 targets for 175 yards and one touchdown in five games. As we suspected, the addition of All-Pro receiver Davante Adams has lowered his target load and both ceiling and floor in fantasy.
		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. It's not a good sign that Waller hasn't practiced coming out of the bye week, so fantasy managers should consider him very questionable to play in Week 7 against the Houston Texans at this point. He'll have a much better shot at playing this Sunday if he's able to practice in some fashion on Friday. The 30-year-old played just 13 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 5 and didn't draw a target before leaving the game with his hamstring injury, and he's been a big disappointment so far in 2022 with 16 receptions on 24 targets for 175 yards and one touchdown in five games. If Waller is unable to play against Houston, Foster Moreau could be an intriguing TE2 streamer in two-TE leagues.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (hip) was absent during practice on Thursday. The 26-year-old recently returned from a concussion that sidelined him multiple weeks. This is certainly frustrating news to fantasy managers who just got Renfrow back. Fantasy managers will have to pay close attention to Renfrow's status during Friday's practice. His absence would likely mean an increased workload for Davante Adams and running back Josh Jacobs.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Mack Hollins (heel) was limited during practice on Thursday. The 29-year-old was quiet last week, but could find himself with a bigger role in Week 7. Both Hunter Renfrow (hip) and Darren Waller (hamstring) are uncertain for the upcoming matchup with the Houston Texans. That being said, Hollins could have a bigger role alongside Davante Adams, assuming he's able to play. Hollins did have an eight-catch game for over 150 yards earlier in the season. He could be worth the gamble for some desperate fantasy managers, assuming Renfrow and Waller remain sidelined.

		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller left Monday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs with a hamstring injury. Waller left in the first half with the Raiders calling him questionable to return to action. The star tight end could be seen without his helmet on the sidelines, although he didn't appear to be getting the injury tended to by the training staff. The Raiders are already without backup tight end Foster Moreau (knee), so they will be thin at the position if Waller can't return. He did not draw a target in the game before the injury. Stay tuned for updates if they become available.
		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury early on Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs and has now been ruled out for the rest of the game. He's no longer in uniform on the sidelines. Waller will finish with a goose egg for his fantasy managers, continuing a disappointing 2022 campaign in which he entered the Week 5 contest with 16 receptions on 24 targets for 175 yards and one touchdown in four games played. Foster Moreau (knee) was inactive on Monday, so the Raiders are down to Jesper Horsted as their top pass-catching tight end. The good news for Waller is that he'll have extra time to heal up with the team's bye coming in Week 6, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to return in Week 7 against the Houston Texans.
		The Las Vegas Raiders are signing veteran wide receiver Albert Wilson to their active roster from the practice squad on Tuesday, according to his agents Drew Rosenhaus and Ryan Matha. The Raiders added Wilson to their practice squad last Friday. This could be a sign that the Raiders are expecting Davante Adams to be suspended after pushing a photographer following the Monday night loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Raiders also lost tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) to an injury in Week 5. Wilson will operate as receiving depth behind Adams, Hunter Renfrow, Mack Hollins and Keelan Cole. In 14 games (five starts) for the Miami Dolphins in 2021, Wilson had 25 catches on 39 targets for 213 yards and no touchdowns.

		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Foster Moreau (knee) logged a limited practice session on Saturday and is officially listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. It was promising to see Moreau's practice involvement improve after he was a DNP on Thursday and Friday, but he's still far from a guarantee to play on Monday night. The 25-year-old totaled six catches for 74 yards through the first three weeks before missing Week 4. Even if active, he is the clear backup behind Darren Waller (shoulder) and therefore lacks fantasy appeal.
		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (shoulder) and wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (concussion) do not carry injury designations into Monday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. Both players will be active for the Week 5 divisional clash. Waller was limited on Wednesday but practiced in full the rest of the week. He should be viewed as a mid-range TE1 in what should be a high-scoring affair versus the Chiefs. Meanwhile, Renfrow, who missed the last two games, practiced in full all week long and falls into the WR4 tier this week.

Saturday, October 08

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (shoulder) was a full participant in the team's walkthrough practice on Friday. Waller has been dealing with a shoulder ailment that forced him to be limited in Thursday's practice, but does not currently have an injury designation and should be on track to play on Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs barring any setbacks. The 30-year-old has struggled in each of his past two contests but will look to bounce back in what projects to be a high-scoring AFC West showdown. He should continue to be viewed as a fantasy TE1.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Las Vegas Raiders are signing veteran free-agent wide receiver Albert Wilson to an undisclosed deal on Friday, according to sources. Wilson played in 14 games (five starts) for the Miami Dolphins last year, catching 25 passes on 39 targets for 213 yards and no touchdowns. He'll simply be providing veteran depth at the position behind Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow, Mack Hollins, Keelan Cole and Tyron Johnson, and he won't be on the fantasy radar at all. The 30-year-old has 218 career catches (334 targets) for 2,499 yards and 12 touchdowns in seven NFL seasons with the Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs.

		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (concussion) was able to get in a full practice session on Thursday. He shed his non-contact jersey and went from limited to full for this practice. It sounds Renfrow should be able to suit up against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5. He should be worth starting in PPR formats in what is expected to be a high scoring game. However, it's unknown how much action he'll see alongside Davante Adams who tends to get the bulk of the targets.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (concussion) will take part in Wednesday's practice, according to head coach Josh McDaniels. The veteran receiver will be a non-contact participant in practice, but his return is a positive sign. Renfrow hasn't played since suffering a concussion on the final play of the Raiders' 29-23 Week 2 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Hopefully, the star receiver can progress in practice this week and return for the matchup against the divisional rival Kansas City Chiefs. Since the game is on Monday night, Renfrow will have an extra day to clear the concussion protocol. If he can play this week, the fourth-year receiver is a solid flex option in PPR leagues.

		Linebacker Blake Martinez is signing a deal to join the Las Vegas Raiders, according to The Score's Jordan Schultz. Martinez was released by the New York Giants right before the season started after a two-year tenure in the Big Apple. He will reunite with former Giants defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, who is now with the Raiders. Martinez posted four straight seasons of at least 144 tackles from 2017 to 2020 and could have some value in deep IDP leagues if he garners a full-time role with the Raiders. The terms of the deal have yet to be posted.

		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (concussion) was unable to practice all week and has been ruled out for his second straight game in Week 4 against the division-rival Denver Broncos. Fantasy managers will need to keep him on their benches. With Renfrow sidelined in the Week 3 loss to the Tennessee Titans, Davante Adams and Mack Hollins will operate as the top two wideouts, with tight end Darren Waller also having a big role. Hollins was a popular waiver-wire addition this week after going off for eight catches on 11 targets for 158 yards and a touchdown last Sunday. The Broncos defense won't present an easy matchup, but the increase in targets makes Hollins a viable flex option for desperate fantasy managers. Keelan Cole should operate as the No. 3.
		Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (neck) popped up on the injury report this week, but he was taken off the final injury report on Friday after getting in a full practice. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday. Gordon will reprise his role as a frustrating backfield complement to Javonte Williams in a Week 4 matchup against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, who have allowed just over 100 yards per game on the ground through three games. Gordon, not Williams, scored the team's first rushing touchdown last week, but he played only 38 percent of the snaps and has averaged a weak 3.9 yards per carry so far in 2022. In an offense that has looked very slugging early on, Gordon is nothing more than a low-upside RB3/flex for fantasy managers while sharing touches with the more explosive Williams.

		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (concussion) didn't practice on Wednesday. He has not practiced since suffering a concussion in the Week 2 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The 26-year-old was ruled out in last week's loss to the Titans. He's caught 10 passes for 80 yards over two games in 2022. Renfrow will have two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's contest against the Denver Broncos. If Renrow cannot suit up, Davante Adams and Mack Hollins will be quarterback Derek Carr's top two wideouts for Week 4.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (concussion) missed his fifth consecutive practice on Thursday. It seems increasingly unlikely that Renfrow will be able to suit up in Week 4. There's still a chance he practices Friday, but fantasy managers should have a backup plan ready. Mack Hollins is expected to see another big workload, assuming Renfrow is out again this Sunday. He finished with eight receptions for 158 yards and a touchdown last week. Hollins could have flex appeal, assuming Renfrow is out again.

However, both his and cornerback Nate Hobbs' (concussion) availability for the Week 4 game against the division-rival Denver Broncos is up in the air. If one or both of Ya-Sin and Hobbs are unable to play this Sunday, the Raiders secondary will be extra vulnerable against a Broncos offense that has really struggled through the first three weeks. Both Amik Robertson and Sam Webb could be looking at increased roles, which would be good news for Broncos receivers Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy.

		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness) will work out pregame prior to Sunday's Week 3 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Jacobs traveled with the team despite missing time with an illness this week. It sounds like there's a decent chance that Jacobs does get on the field for Sunday's contest. The Raiders would be forced to use a committee approach with Zamir White, Brandon Bolden, and Ameer Abdullah, assuming Jacobs is out. This appears to be a true game time decision for Jacobs.
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness) will play in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans after being listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report. Jacobs flew private to Tennessee on Saturday and has recovered from an illness that kept him out of practice on Thursday and Friday. He worked out Sunday morning and was deemed good to go. It's a huge boost for the Raiders offense as they attempt to win their first game of the young season. There's a chance that Jacobs won't see as big of a workload as he has the first two weeks -- he played 72 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 2 -- but at worse he should be viewed as an RB3/flex against the Titans now that he'll be active.

		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness), who is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans, did not travel with the team on Friday. Jacobs missed practice the last two days with an illness and is now firmly in doubt for Sunday's game against Tennessee. Fantasy managers that have the 24-year-old in their starting lineups need to have a backup plan in place. The good news is we'll know early on Sunday whether Jacobs will be active. If he ends up playing, Jacobs will be in play as an RB2 for fantasy managers. But if he's ruled out, expect some combination of Brandon Bolden (hamstring), Ameer Abdullah and rookie Zamir White to share backfield duties against the Titans. Bolden was inactive last week but is off the Week 3 injury report.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (concussion) has officially been ruled out for Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans. Remove him from your starting fantasy lineups right now. Renfrow's absence will mean more targets for No. 1 receiver Davante Adams and tight end Darren Waller. Mack Hollins should have an expanded role on the outside across from Adams as well, making him worth a look as a deep-league flex play. In the slot with Renfrow out, expect Keelan Cole and Tyron Johnson to fight for targets down the seam. Renfrow will be trying to clear the league's concussion protocol next week before a divisional matchup with the Denver Broncos.
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Brandon Bolden (hamstring), who was inactive for the Week 2 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals, got in a full practice on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into the Week 3 game against the Tennessee Titans. The 32-year-old could be in for a big backfield role this weekend with Josh Jacobs (illness) questionable to play. Jacobs notably didn't travel with the team on Friday, either. In the season opener, Bolden played just 28 percent of the offensive snaps and had three carries for seven yards, adding two catches for 21 yards and a touchdown. Even if Jacobs is inactive, Bolden will be a deep-league flex option, at best, while likely sharing touches with Ameer Abdullah and rookie Zamir White.
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness) will travel to Tennessee but is still questionable to play in a Week 3 matchup with the Titans. Jacobs did not practice on Thursday or Friday and did not travel with the team but is making the trip separately. Although this is definitely a good sign for fantasy managers, backup plans should be made in case Jacobs is ruled out ahead of this contest's 1 PM ET kickoff. If Jacobs is sidelined, expect backfield duties to be split amongst rookie Zamir White, Ameer Abdullah, and Brandon Bolden, with White being the most intriguing fantasy option as a low-end flex play.

		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (concussion) was not seen at practice on Wednesday after suffering a concussion in the Week 2 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Renfrow looked like his 2021 self last weekend before suffering his head injury, securing seven of his 10 targets for 59 yards on 69 percent of the offensive snaps. He still has some time to clear the league's concussion protocol, but his fantasy managers should consider him very questionable for the Week 3 contest against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. If Renfrow isn't able to play, Mack Hollins would have some deep-league flex appeal as the No. 3 pass-catcher behind Davante Adams and tight end Darren Waller.
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Brandon Bolden (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The 11th-year veteran was absent in Week 2 with a hamstring injury, but he seems to be making progress toward appearing in Week 3 based on this limited practice. Bolden is a member of a messy Raider backfield behind Josh Jacobs that includes Ameer Abdullah and Zamir White. With there being no clear backup, he can't be considered a relevant option for fantasy at the moment.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (concussion) was unable to suit up for practice on Thursday. This marks the second day in a row that Renfrow has been unable to practice. He suffered a concussion during the final play of their last contest. There is still time for Renfrow to be cleared, but fantasy managers should find a backup option. Mack Hollins could have some streaming appeal if Renfrow is unable to play. He'd be the third option behind Davante Adams and Darren Waller.

		The Las Vegas Raiders are acquiring offensive tackle Justin Herron from the New England Patriots on Wednesday, according to sources. The two teams are flipping draft picks in 2024. Herron will give the Raiders some solid tackle depth for their offensive line moving forward. The 26-year-old former sixth-round pick by the Patriots in 2020 out of Wake Forest played in 28 games in his first two NFL seasons, starting just 10 of them. He was a reserve tackle for New England, but he's a guy that many Raiders personnel members are familiar with.

		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (concussion) struggled in Week 2, fumbling twice in the team's overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The second fumble was recovered and returned by Arizona for a game-winning touchdown and Renfrow may have also been injured on the same play as he is now in concussion protocol. Renfrow did see a team-high of 10 targets in the game and turned them into seven receptions for 59 yards. This number is encouraging after he was completely overshadowed by new arrival Davante Adams in Week 1. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for reports on Renfrow's progression ahead of the Raiders' Week 3 bout with the Tennessee Titans. If active, Renfrow should be viewed as a low-end WR3 or flex play.

		Las Vegas Raiders running back Brandon Bolden (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. He had been listed as doubtful, so his absence on Sunday comes as no surprise. Bolden logged a receiving touchdown in Week 1 but doesn't have a major impact on offense. Ameer Abdullah and Zamir White will fill depth roles with Bolden sidelined, but neither of them is worth starting in fantasy football.

		Las Vegas Raiders running back Brandon Bolden (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals after not practicing all week. Meanwhile, linebacker Denzel Perryman (ankle) has been ruled out after he also missed practice all week. Bolden played 28 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, carrying the ball three times for seven yards and catching both of his targets for 21 yards and a touchdown. With the 32-year-old likely out this Sunday, expect to see more of Ameer Abdullah and rookie Zamir White in a change-of-pace role behind starter Josh Jacobs.

		Las Vegas Raiders running back Brandon Bolden (hamstring) did not practice Thursday. He's now missed back-to-back sessions due to a hamstring issue. Before his injury in the Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, he rushed three times for seven yards while securing both targets for 21 yards and a touchdown while logging 16 snaps. The 32-year-old is trending in the wrong direction and could miss Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. If Bolden is inactive, Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah will work behind starter Josh Jacobs.

		The Las Vegas Raiders have added wide receiver Keelan Cole to their 53-man roster after placing receiver DJ Turner (ankle) on injured reserve. Cole signed with the Raiders in May but was released before the regular season. He re-signed with the team's practice squad last week and will now join wideouts Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow, Mack Hollins, and Tyron Johnson on the active roster. With Adams, Renfrow, and tight end Darren Waller operating as the top targets for Derek Carr, Cole is not expected to make a fantasy impact this season unless another injury were to occur.
		Las Vegas Raiders running back Brandon Bolden (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday. Before his injury in the Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Bolden played 28% of the snaps behind starter Josh Jacobs and carried the ball three times for seven yards, adding two receptions for 21 yards and a touchdown. He'll have two more chances to return to practice this week, but he's lining up to be at least questionable for Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 32-year-old is merely a deep-league PPR stash for the time being. If he's inactive on Sunday, Ameer Abdullah and rookie Zamir White will likely split the change-of-pace snaps behind Jacobs.

		Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Anthony Averett (thumb) suffered a broken right thumb in the Week 1 season-opening loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday and will need surgery, according to a source. Averett will likely miss at least a month, which is why the Raiders chose to place him on Injured Reserve. The 27-year-old will not be able to return until at least Week 6 against the Houston Texans. With Averett sidelined, the Raiders will be looking for both Amik Robertson and Roderic Teamer to step up in the secondary. Averett, a former fourth-rounder of the Baltimore Ravens in 2018, is in his first year with the Raiders after opening his NFL career with four seasons in Baltimore.

		Las Vegas Raiders running back Brandon Bolden (hamstring) won't return to the Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Bolden only had three carries for seven yards on the ground. However, he made some noise by accumulating two catches for 21 yards and a touchdown, pulling in an 18-yard pass from Derek Carr early in the third quarter. It appears the veteran will have a role supporting Josh Jacobs through the year. But if he can't go in Week 2 versus the Cardinals, rookie Zamir White should be more involved.

		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller has agreed to a three-year extension. The veteran will earn $51 million in new cash, ending a months-long negotiation process. The 29-year-old has accumulated 3,184 yards and 16 touchdowns off 270 catches during his career. He played only 11 games last season due to injury. However, if Waller remains healthy, he should remain one of the league's most potent fantasy tight ends, even with superstar wideout Davante Adams expected to take away some of his targets this season and beyond.

		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) was not listed on the team's Week 1 injury report on Wednesday, and he's good to go for the regular season opener on Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. Waller missed a lot of time in training camp with a hamstring injury and while he was angling for a new contract. While he could be a bit rusty early on after missing a lot of summer repetitions, fantasy managers should still consider him a must-start, top-five tight end to open the year. The 29-year-old's target share will likely be reduced with All-Pro receiver Davante Adams now in town, but he could make up for it with more red-zone usage.

		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) plans to play in the Week 1 regular season opener on Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. Waller returned to practice last week after dealing with a hamstring issue in training camp. The 29-year-old was also angling for a contract extension this summer, which was part of the reason he missed a lot of practice. The time missed at camp, along with the addition of All-Pro receiver Davante Adams, cause Waller to slip a bit in fantasy drafts after his disappointing 2021 campaign. There's a chance that he could get off to a bit of a slow start after having to learn a new offense under head coach Josh McDaniels, but Waller still has top-five fantasy potential at his position over the course of the season.
		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Keelan Cole was surprisingly released by the team last week. However, he did not stay a free agent for long because the team signed him to their practice squad on Tuesday. The move provides the team with additional depth at the position in case an injury occurs. The 29-year-old finished with 28 receptions for 449 receiving yards and one touchdown in 15 games with the New York Jets in 2021. It's unclear whether Cole will be elevated to the active roster before Week 1, but even if he were, he would not be a factor for fantasy football.

		The Raiders have released tight end Jacob Hollister with an injury settlement. The veteran, who signed with Vegas back in March, is currently dealing with an undisclosed ailment. He's suited up for the Patriots, Seahawks, and Jaguars throughout his five years in the league, totaling 83 catches for 707 yards and seven touchdowns. It's certainly possible Hollister will find work elsewhere once he gets healthy. However, the 28-year-old isn't expected to be a routine fantasy contributor, no matter where he lands next.

		Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Keelan Cole has been released by the organization. This is a bit of a shocking move to see Cole getting released. The Raiders decided to keep Mack Hollins, Tyron Johnson, and DJ Turner over Cole. Last season, Cole hauled in 28 receptions for 449 receiving yards, and one touchdown in 15 games with the New York Jets. Those are fairly decent stats coming from the awful Jets offense. At this point, Hollins appears to be the favorite to hold the No. 3 wideout job in Las Vegas. Fantasy managers can use a wait-and-see approach with Hollins. The assumption is that Cole should land a depth spot elsewhere, but probably won't have fantasy value right away.
		The Las Vegas Raiders waived former first-round offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood on Tuesday, according to a source. The Raiders had been looking to trade Leatherwood this summer, but he was difficult to move given his $6 million guaranteed salary over the next three years. The 23-year-old was the 17th overall selection last year out of the University of Alabama, but he was so disappointing at right tackle that the Raiders shifted him to right guard. Leatherwood has been better as a run-blocker, so ideally he'll land with a team that prefers to run the ball.
		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) is good to go to practice with the team on Wednesday, according to head coach Josh McDaniels. It's believed that Waller is dealing with a hamstring injury that caused him to miss the majority of training camp. But with Waller seeking a contract extension this summer, his absence from practices was likely more related to his contract status than his injury. The 29-year-old is reportedly close to inking a deal that would make him the highest-paid player at his position. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned about his status for Week 1 against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, where he'll be a no-doubt, must-start TE1 in all fantasy lineups.

		Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said he's not concerned about the absence of tight end Darren Waller (undisclosed) in training camp, but he's also uncomfortable making a prediction about Waller's status for the Week 1 regular season opener against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. Waller has been dealing with an undisclosed injury that has kept him off the field this summer, but the Raiders might just be playing it safe with the All-Pro tight end. The 29-year-old probably won't play in the preseason finale this Friday against the New England Patriots, and for now, the top-five fantasy TE should be considered questionable to play in Week 1.

		Las Vegas Raiders linebacker Jordan Jenkins (knee) will miss the entire season after suffering an injury this weekend. The 28-year-old appears to have torn his ACL during their preseason matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The former third round pick was expected to be depth, but this is still a blow to their defense. Last season, Jenkins recorded 20 tackles and 2.5 sacks through 11 games with the Houston Texans. Before that, Jenkins was a starter on the New York Jets for five seasons. Fantasy manages shouldn't expect the loss of Jenkins to impact the Raiders defense very much.
		The Raiders plan to release running back Kenyan Drake, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The 28-year-old played 12 games for Vegas last season, finishing with 63 carries for 254 yards and two touchdowns. He also had 30 catches (40 targets) for 291 yards and an additional trip to the end zone. Once things are finalized, Drake has a strong chance to find employment elsewhere relatively soon, especially since he's a proven pass-catcher out of the backfield. Although that won't make the 28-year-old an everyday fantasy option, he could earn streaming consideration sometime in 2022-23. Nevertheless, Josh Jacobs should benefit with Drake no longer in the picture. However, it could also mean more work for rookie Zamir White, who may take over as the starter if Jacobs goes down with an injury or fails to produce during the year.

		Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) returned to training camp practice on Wednesday. The Raiders have been holding Waller out of practice with what is believed to be a minor injury, but fantasy managers can breathe easier now that he's back on the field. The 29-year-old remains a top-five fantasy tight end, but his fantasy ceiling will be lower in 2022 now that All-Pro receiver Davante Adams is in the fold as quarterback Derek Carr's likely No. 1 target. Waller played in only 11 games due to injury in 2021 and finished with 55 receptions for 665 yards and just two touchdowns after back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns in 2019-2020.
