Tre Tucker Tre Tucker Strikes for long TD in loss
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 9:54 PM
Tucker secured five of 12 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 35-21 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: Tucker led the Raiders in receiving yards and targets on the afternoon with a big lift from a game-long 41-yard catch and a 37-yard fourth-quarter touchdown reception. The speedy wideout has a combined 10-200-3 line over his last two games alone as he continues to take his chemistry with Kirk Cousins to new levels, and Tucker is averaging a stellar 16.3 yards per reception heading into a favorable Week 8 road matchup against the Jets next Sunday. |
Kirk Cousins Kirk Cousins Just under 300 passing yards in loss
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 9:51 PM
Cousins completed 26 of 44 passes for 295 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing three times for six yards in the Raiders' 35-21 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: With the Raiders trailing throughout, Cousins had another very busy day and finished with his third-highest passing yardage total of the season. Cousins also threw multiple touchdown passes for the sixth time in seven games, connecting with Tre Tucker (37 yards) and Ashton Jeanty (15 yards) for fourth-quarter scoring strikes. The veteran signal-caller continues to show excellent command of Klint Kubiak's offense, as he connected with eight different targets in the high-scoring loss. Cousins has compiled 1,877 passing yards and generated a 16:5 TD:INT through his first seven games heading into a Week 8 road matchup against the Jets next Sunday. |
Michael Mayer Michael Mayer Three catches in Week 7 loss
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 9:34 PM
Mayer caught all three targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 35-21 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: After his big Week 6 in which Mayer caught seven of nine targets for 95 yards against the Bills, Mayer faded into the background against Los Angeles, as Tre Tucker (5-103-1 receiving), Brock Bowers (6-73-0) and Ashton Jeanty (8-61-1) accounted for most of the production in the passing game for the Raiders. Mayer will be a fantasy TE1/2 for next Sunday's game against the Jets. |
Mike Washington Jr. Mike Washington Jr. Leads team with 27 rushing yards in loss
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 9:32 PM
Washington rushed six times for 27 yards in Sunday's 35-21 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Despite dealing with foot and back injuries throughout the practice week, Washington played against Los Angeles and handled his normal workload behind starter Ashton Jeanty. Even though Jeanty again handled more carries, Washington ended up leading the team in rushing yards on a day the Raiders ran for just 48 yards. Washington is pushing Jeanty for more rushing work, but it's not enough at this point to warrant starting the rookie running back in fantasy. |
Ashton Jeanty Ashton Jeanty Much more effective as receiver
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 8:14 PM
Jeanty rushed eight times for 15 yards and brought in all eight targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 35-21 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: The Rams stonewalled Jeanty on the ground, but the 2025 first-round pick was highly effective as a receiver. Jeanty led the Raiders in receptions and tied for second in targets, and his 15-yard grab came when the running back ran past Kam Curl down the right sideline early in the fourth quarter. Jeanty has been held under 30 rushing yards in three straight games, but he's up to a 34-312-3 receiving line on 44 targets going into a Week 8 road matchup against the Jets next Sunday. |
Brock Bowers Brock Bowers Six catches in Week 7 loss
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 8:08 PM
Bowers secured six of eight targets for 73 yards in the Raiders' 35-21 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: The ultra-talented tight end put together another solid performance, finishing second in receptions and receiving yards for the Raiders while also tying for runner-up status in targets. Bowers has at least 70 receiving yards in all five of the games in which he's played, and he's recorded at least six catches in four of those contests. Bowers will undoubtedly remain a critical part of the air attack in a Week 8 road matchup against the Jets next Sunday. |
Questionable to return
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 6:17 PM
Johnson (stinger/neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Rams.
Analysis: Johnson suffered a similar injury in Week 5 versus the Patriots, and his status for the rest of Week 7 is now in question. The linebacker is primarily a special-teams asset, so his absence doesn't carry much of an impact on the defensive effort versus Los Angeles. |
Ian Thomas Ian Thomas Back in action
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 4:38 PM
Thomas (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's contest against the Rams, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Thomas is back in action after briefly being sidelined with a shoulder injury that he suffered early in the game. He'll continue to operate as a depth option at tight end behind Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer versus Los Angeles. |
|
Ian Thomas Ian Thomas Dealing with shoulder injury
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 4:16 PM
Thomas (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Rams.
Analysis: Thomas suffered a shoulder injury early in the first half, and his status for the rest of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer will continue to operate as the Raiders' primary options at tight end. |
Aidan O'Connell Aidan O'Connell Emergency QB3 for Week 7
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 2:24 PM
O'Connell (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Raiders' emergency third quarterback against the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: O'Connell will only enter Sunday's game if both Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza must exit the contest due to injury, illness or ejection. |
|
Set for Sunday
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 2:23 PM
Walker (chest) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Walker appeared to suffer a setback with his chest issue Saturday that changed his status for Sunday's game to questionable. The inside linebacker has overcome the issue and is all set to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Rams. |
|
Mike Washington Jr. Mike Washington Jr. Good to go for Week 7
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 2:01 PM
Washington (foot/back) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: A limited participant to begin Week 7 prep while managing the pair of injuries, Washington ended up sitting out entirely during practices Thursday and Friday before taking a questionable tag into Sunday. Despite Washington's lack of on-field reps to close out the week, the Raiders weren't compelled to sign or add another running back from their practice squad ahead of the contest, which suggests the rookie will be ready to handle his normal role as the top backup to lead back Ashton Jeanty. Washington has been a productive complement to Jeanty this season, averaging 4.9 yards per carry on 34 totes. |
Carter Runyon Carter Runyon Not activated for Week 7
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 8:49 AM
The Raiders have ruled out Runyon (foot) for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Runyon was a full participant in practice throughout the week, after he had been limited in the Raiders' three Week 6 sessions upon having his 21-day window opened Oct. 14. If the tight end can remain free of restrictions in practices during Week 8 prep, he'll stand a good chance of being activated from injured reserve ahead of the Raiders' Nov. 1 matchup with the Jets. |

Mike Washington Jr. Mike Washington Jr. Deemed game-time decision
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 6:49 AM
Washington (foot/back) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Rams, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Washington managed just one limited session (Wednesday) during Week 7 prep due to foot and back injuries, but a listing of questionable has kept the door open for the rookie fourth-round pick to suit up Sunday. His status will be clarified about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but if Washington is inhibited or sidelined, Dylan Laube will be the primary backup to No. 1 RB Ashton Jeanty. |
|
Questionable with chest issue
Sat, Oct 24, 2026, 3:01 PM
Walker (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Despite finishing Friday's practice session as a full participant with no injury designation, Walker has now been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's contest. The linebacker likely had a setback with his persistent chest injury, making it uncertain whether he will be able to suit up Sunday. |
|
Good to go for Week 7
Fri, Oct 23, 2026, 7:04 PM
Walker (chest) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Walker opened the week with back-to-back limited practices due to a chest injury, but his full session Friday was enough for him to fade an injury tag for Sunday's game. The 2022 first-rounder has 40 tackles (17 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery through the first six games of the regular season. |
|
Clears concussion protocol
Fri, Oct 23, 2026, 7:03 PM
Hemingway (concussion) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Hemingway was unable to play against the Bills in Week 6 while in the league's concussion protocol. He strung together a DNP-LP-FP practice log during Week 7 prep, and he's cleared protocol after passing tests administered by an independent neurologist. Hemingway's return will bolster the Raiders' defensive line, with Thomas Booker and Folorunso Fatukasi reverting to rotational roles. |
Dont'e Thornton Jr. Dont'e Thornton Jr. Staying on IR for Week 7
Fri, Oct 23, 2026, 6:43 PM
Thornton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Thornton logged a trio of full practices during Week 7 prep, but head coach Klint Kubiak told reporters Friday that the second-year wide receiver will remain on injured reserve for at least one more week. Thornton's 21-day practice window opened Oct. 7, and he would be forced to miss the rest of the 2026 season if the Raiders do not activate him from IR by Wednesday. |

Mike Washington Jr. Mike Washington Jr. Listed questionable for Sunday
Fri, Oct 23, 2026, 2:20 PM
Washington (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Washington has barely practiced this week, and it seems like he could be on the wrong side of the questionable tag as a rookie who hasn't seen many practice reps during Week 7 prep. If Washington is unable to gain clearance against Los Angeles, Dylan Laube would likely see increased snaps behind Ashton Jeanty. |

Mike Washington Jr. Mike Washington Jr. Misses Friday's practice
Fri, Oct 23, 2026, 12:31 PM
Washington (foot) was not spotted at Friday's practice, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Analysis: With Washington having already been downgraded to a non-participant Thursday, his absence Friday casts more doubt on his availability for Sunday's game against the Rams. Dylan Laube could be in line for more backfield work behind Ashton Jeanty. |
