Analysis: Bech had just 20 catches for 224 yards across 16 regular-season games as a rookie, but the 2025 second-round pick could get more opportunities in his second season as part of an underwhelming Raiders wide receiver room that also includes Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor, Dont'e Thornton and Malik Benson. Canelo's colleague Jared Feinberg describes Bech as a savvy route runner, and Bech's ability to get open with crisp routes should be rewarded more than it was in his rookie year if the Raiders get better quarterback play out of newcomers Fernando Mendoza and Kirk Cousins.

Analysis: Per Edwards, there's also been speculation that Las Vegas will consider adding a veteran free agent in the coming weeks, but as things stand, Tucker, who caught 57 passes (on 92 targets) for 696 yards and five TDs in 17 regular-season games in 2025, is in line to serve as a key target for QBs Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza. In that context, the 2023 third-rounder should continue to see enough volume to merit lineup consideration in deeper formats, while his fantasy upside in 2026 is linked to the possibility of improvements in the Raiders' passing game, with both a new head coach (Klint Kubiak ) and a new starting signal caller on board.

Analysis: Edwards identified Benson as one of the biggest standouts of the Raiders' offseason program, noting that the rookie connected with multiple quarterbacks on deep passes during practices open to the media. The sixth-round pick enters training camp in what Ryan McFadden of ESPN reports to be an open competition at wide receiver, and his speed and ability to stretch the field could help him carve out a role if he builds on that momentum. Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor, Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton represent Benson's main competition for snaps.

Analysis: The cornerback was a limited participant during OTAs, but that's just due to a "management program," per Bonsignore. McCoy missed the 2025 collegiate campaign after tearing his ACL, but he still got drafted in the fourth round by the Raiders. During training camp, he should have a chance to compete for playing time.

Analysis: Powers-Johnson finished the Raiders' 2025 campaign on IR due to an ankle issue, but his participation in Wednesday's practice suggests he's moved past the injury. Back at full health, the Oregon product is expected to start at right guard in 2026.

Analysis: Jackson was sidelined for Las Vegas' final 13 games last season due to a foot injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The third-year pro from Washington State has primarily contributed as a special teamer throughout his NFL career, recording six total tackles and one pass defensed across 10 contests while logging 148 total snaps (103 on special teams, 45 on defense).

Analysis: Rucker was picked up by the Raiders as an undrafted free agent in late April, but it now appears he's sustained a serious injury that will sideline him for the entire 2026 season. The Arkansas State product was incredibly productive during his final two collegiate seasons, catching 144 passes for 2,085 yards and 11 touchdowns. In a corresponding move, Las Vegas signed wideout Brandon Johnson on Wednesday.

Analysis: Johnson was dropped from the Steelers on June 9 but has already found a new home in Las Vegas. The 27-year-old wideout's last in-game action came with Pittsburgh in 2024, when he appeared in three contests and caught his lone target for nine yards on 19 offensive snaps.

Analysis: Crosby was in the process of being traded to Baltimore back in March, but the deal fell through after he failed a physical. Now that it appears he'll be staying with Las Vegas in 2026, he'll be focusing on simply recovering from the knee procedure he underwent in the offseason to address a torn meniscus. His next chances to practice will come during mandatory minicamp, which the Raiders are scheduled to hold beginning June 6.

Analysis: The left tackle started four games last season before suffering a hairline fracture to his ankle in a September matchup with the Bears. Miller was able to practice near the end of the regular season, though, so his participation in OTAs is perhaps not a surprise. The veteran has started 112 of the 114 games he's played in during his eight-year career.

Analysis: Bowers -- who noted Thursday that he's "practicing full speed" -- originally injured his knee in Week 1 against the Patriots last season and dealt with the issue all year, missing Weeks 5-7 before being shut down for Weeks 17 and 18 in a lost campaign for Las Vegas. Bowers -- who remains a top tier fantasy option at the TE position -- appeared in 12 games in his second NFL season and finished with 64 catches for 680 yards and seven touchdowns on 86 targets. He'll now be catching passes from Kirk Cousins and No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza this summer, as the two quarterbacks are in a competition for the Week 1 job.

Analysis: A rookie fourth-round pick, McCoy was limited during rookie minicamp while he was continuing to ramp up from a torn right ACL he suffered during the 2025 season. Now, McCoy -- who will turn 21 years old in August -- is back to full speed and drew praise from head coach Klint Kubiak for his progress. The Tennessee product is currently behind veteran Eric Stokes and 2025 third-round pick Darien Porter on the depth chart at outside cornerback.

Analysis: It comes off as typical coach speak that is routinely thrown around at this stage of the offseason, but it's at least worth noting nonetheless. "It's important to have a quality second back, but the best player has got to play, and we've got to get them on the field as much as we can," Kubiak said. "I don't know the play-snap percentage, but you look at Christian McCaffrey, his play-snap percentage is high. So, those great backs, they don't want to come off the field." Only nine running backs handled more carries and played more snaps than Jeanty last season, so it'll be tough to truly put significantly more on his plate in 2026, but the hope is for far better efficiency behind an improved offensive line with better coaching and quarterback play. Currently in the mix for RB touches that don't go to Jeantyare rookie fourth-rounder Mike Washington, as well as Dylan Laube, Chris Collier and UDFA addition Roman Hemby.

Analysis: The report notes that Cousins took all of the first-team reps Wednesday and was followed by O'Connell and Mendoza, in that order. At this stage, the Raiders have yet to outline plans on when a starter will be named, with GM John Spytek having said, "The best guy will play." That said, with both Spytek and coach Klint Kubiak having previously expressed their inclination to not play a young quarterback right away, Warren and Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com suggest that Cousins is trending toward starting Week 1, citing the veteran signal-caller's ample professional experience, as well as his familiarity with Kubiak's offense. While the Raiders are intentionally easing Mendoza -- the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft -- into the mix, Kubiak has nonetheless been pleased with what he's seen from the highly-touted the rookie so far. "He's as advertised," Kubiak said Wednesday. "He has not disappointed." Given where Mendoza was drafted, it's assumed that the Indiana product will rise to the top of the Raiders' depth chart eventually, but he could begin his pro career, for a time, as Cousins' understudy. However, there's still runway for Mendoza to change the narrative on that front in the coming months, with Kubiak noting Wednesday of the team's QB pecking order, "It's gonna reveal itself, especially in training camp."

Analysis: Per the report, Cousins was followed by Aidan O'Connell and then No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza, whom the Raiders continue to ease into their offense. While coach Klint Kubiak has yet to provide a timeline for when he'd like to name a starting QB, McFadden suggests that Cousins is the favorite to open the season as the team's No. 1 option, given his ample NFL experience and familiarity with Kubiak's offense. That said, Mendoza -- who has been "as advertised," per Kubiak -- does have time to change that narrative ahead of Week 1, and even if Cousins does handle signal-caller duties for Las Vegas out of the gate in 2026, there's little doubt that Mendoza will rise to the top of the depth chart eventually, given where he was drafted.

Analysis: Crosby underwent knee surgery this offseason to repair a torn meniscus, but it now appears the Raiders are expecting him to return at some point during training camp. The All-Pro edge-rusher was dealt from Las Vegas to Baltimore in early March, though the deal ultimately collapsed following a failed physical. Nonetheless, the Raiders' expectation that Crosby will be back for training camp is a positive sign that he could be ready for the team's regular-season opener Sep. 13.

Analysis: Chinn spent the final two weeks of Las Vegas' 2025 campaign on IR with a back injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The Southern Illinois product is entering the final year of his contract after posting 114 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, two passes defensed and two forced fumbles across 15 games last season. He's expected to remain a crucial part of the Raiders' defense during 2026.

Analysis: A 2023 third-round pick, Martin has played in just six regular-season games through three seasons. Unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Raiders, Martin will spend the entire 2026 season on IR.

Analysis: Jones appeared in 14 games with Miami in 2025, but he was shut down ahead of Week 17 with a back injury. Now, he's evidently in good shape for football activities again and is getting a shot with a new team. Las Vegas recently lost defensive tackle Leki Fotu to the Giants in free agency, and it's reasonable to suspect Jones could fill a similar role to the one Fotu left behind with the Raiders.

Analysis: It's unclear what Shorter's injury is, but he'll have to reach an injury settlement with the Raiders to have a chance to play in 2026. A fifth-round pick of the Bills in 2023, he saw action in seven regular-season contests with Las Vegas last year, playing on five offensive snaps and 81 special-teams snaps. He has yet to record an NFL catch.
