Las Vegas Raiders
New play-caller: Klint Kubiak is calling plays for the first season here, so last year's tendencies are an unreliable guide — see the Coaching tab before trusting season-over-season projections.
Las Vegas Raiders Fantasy Football Outlook & Stats 2026
Las Vegas finished 32nd in scoring, 32nd in rushing, 32nd in pace and 32nd in sacks allowed, and ran the ball into the end zone five times all season. Klint Kubiak takes over and Kirk Cousins arrives from Atlanta to replace a quarterback room that threw nineteen interceptions. Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers produced anyway, which is the only reason to open this page.

Good players, bad address
321 touches on the worst offence in football, and ten touchdowns out of it anyway.
- 975 rush yds
- 55 rec, 346 yds
- 10 total TD
Two hundred and sixty-six carries and 73 targets across all seventeen games is a genuinely enormous workload, and 3.7 yards a carry is what happens when it comes behind a line that allowed sixty-four sacks on a team that never led. The 55 receptions are what make him startable regardless — that role does not disappear in a bad game script, it grows. Any improvement in the offence around him lands on him first.
Seven touchdowns in twelve games, on a team that scored 14.2 points a week.
- 64 rec, 680 yds
- 86 targets
- 7 TD
Eighty-six targets in twelve appearances is a seven-a-week rate that no other tight end matches, and seven scores on an offence this barren is remarkable — he was the red-zone plan. Sixty-four catches gives him the PPR floor and the touchdowns give him the ceiling, which is a combination almost nobody at the position has. Five missed games is the only mark against him, and Cousins is a clear upgrade on what was throwing to him.
Everything downstream of the quarterback
Ninety-two targets and five scores as the only established receiver on the roster.
- 57 rec, 696 yds
- 92 targets
- 5 TD
Fifty-seven catches for 696 yards at 12.2 a reception, across all seventeen games, on the league's least productive offence — the role is unambiguous and the production is what the situation allowed. Five touchdowns on a team that scored twenty-four total is a large share. He is the receiver most directly helped by Cousins arriving, and he is priced as though last season's offence is the one he is stuck with.
An 84.8 rating in ten games, and the best quarterback this roster has had in years.
- 1,721 pass yds
- 10 TD, 5 INT
- 10 games
Ten touchdowns against five interceptions is unspectacular and it is a substantial upgrade on nineteen interceptions from the room he replaces. He contributes nothing on the ground — seven rushing yards — so his fantasy value is entirely volume, and this offence ran the fewest plays in the league. He raises everyone around him and remains unstartable himself in a one-quarterback format.
The first pick in the draft, sitting behind a quarterback signed to start.
- 1st overall pick
- 41 college TD
- 72% completion
A Heisman season with 41 touchdowns at 72% completion on an unbeaten national champion is as good as a quarterback prospect's résumé gets, and Las Vegas has Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty already in place for him. The timing is the whole problem: Kirk Cousins is penciled in to open the season, so the fantasy question is not how good Mendoza is but which month he starts. Stash him in Superflex and dynasty, where the takeover is the asset; in a one-quarterback league there is nothing to own yet.
Fifty targets as the second tight end behind Brock Bowers.
- 35 rec, 328 yds
- 50 targets
- 1 TD
Thirty-five catches in thirteen games is real playing time and it exists mostly because Bowers missed five. A second tight end on a bottom-ranked offence has no path to weekly relevance while the first one is healthy. He is a contingency stash in the deepest leagues and nothing else.
15.3 yards a catch in Minnesota, arriving into a room with one established receiver.
- 29 rec, 444 yds
- 53 targets
- 4 TD
Twenty-nine receptions at 15.3 with four touchdowns is efficient complementary work, produced on a far better offence than the one he joins. The opportunity is real — behind Tucker there is nobody with a claim to a hundred targets. The offence is the reason to keep expectations small, and the reason he will cost nothing.
Bottom lineTwo genuinely excellent players are trapped here, and both are priced below what their usage says because of everything around them. Jeanty and Bowers are buys on volume alone; nobody else on this roster should be started until the offence proves it has moved off the bottom of the league.
Usage & Opportunity Report
Updated through Week 4 · refreshed every Tuesday
Fantasy production follows opportunity, not the other way around — so this report tracks who's on the field and who the ball is going to, before the box score catches up. The essentials: target share (share of team pass attempts), snap share, and red-zone touches. The premium layer, in each player's expandable profile: first-read share (how often the play is designed for him), air-yards share (30%+ is the alpha-receiver threshold), and expected fantasy points (xFP) vs. fantasy points over expected (FPOE) — xFP is stable, repeatable volume; FPOE is efficiency that regresses. Route share (the % of dropbacks a player runs a route on — the stat that matters most for tight ends), targets per route run (TPRR) and yards per route run (YPRR — the best receiver efficiency stat there is) join the profiles when the league's route data is published. Since 2017, receivers at a 20%+ target share average 15.3 fantasy points per game; the 10–20% group averages 9.8. That cliff is why this table exists.
- Pass rate over expected−2.6%20thThrows about as much as situations call for — the target tree, not the play-calling, decides who eats

The Target Tree
All 92 Raiders pass attempts through Week 4
- Ashton Jeanty 17.4%
- Tre Tucker 16.3%
- Michael Mayer 15.2%
- Brock Bowers 14.1%
- Jalen Nailor 12.0%
- Bech/White/Benson 17.4%
- Everyone else 3.3%
- No target (throwaways, spikes, batted) 4.3%
The Backfield Split
Who owns which situations — the RB stat that actually predicts the box score.
- Ashton Jeanty 83.3%
- Mike Washington 14.9%
- Connor Heyward 1.8%
Share of the backs' carries + targets in each situation. Snap-by-snap splits need the league's participation data, which is published after the season.
- 31.7Jeanty weighted opps/game — RB4 in the NFL
- 23Jeanty high-value touches (in-10 carries + targets)
- 5.7Washington weighted opps/game
- +7.5Jeanty wOpp/g vs. last season — role grew, not just efficiency
Why Jeanty's floor holds in PPR: He keeps 73% of the backs' third-down work as well as the early downs, so his catches don't depend on game script — a 74-catch pace. No one on this depth chart takes the hurry-up snaps from him.
The Washington math if Jeanty misses time: Washington backs up the early-down role (the valuable ones). A Jeanty absence projects Washington to ~98% of weighted opportunities — about 37.4 a game, a top-12 weekly RB by volume — and why he's a STASH, not a cut.

Designed runs only; "Middle" includes runs behind either guard.
The interior is the run game's engine: 3.9 yards per carry up the middle on 51 attempts, 62% of all designed runs. The edges are a change-up, not the plan — when an interior lineman sits out practice, that's a usage note, not just an injury note.

The short right is the efficiency engine (7.1 YPA). Cousins keeps 90% of his throws under 20 air yards, with the deep left his most explosive zone (20.5 YPA on 6 attempts). Gold = highest-YPA high-volume zone.

Coaching Profile & Tendencies
Play-calling tendencies carry over from season to season when the play-caller stays the same — and become unreliable the moment he changes. That's the whole reason this module exists: before you trust any Raiders projection, you need to know whose fingerprints are on the offense and how stable they are. For the Raiders the answer is: new fingerprints. Klint Kubiak is calling this offense for the first time in 2026 — so the 2026 sample, not last year's, is the signal.
Head coach · First season as caller here · Primary play-caller
Klint Kubiak
Gary Kubiak / Shanahan wide-zone family
Kubiak said when hired that he would retain play-calling duties while emphasizing a collaborative staff process; current 2026 Raiders coverage continues to identify him as the play-caller.
- Vikings QB coach, then OC & play-caller2019-21
- Broncos QB coach (play-caller Wks 11-16, 2022); 49ers pass game coordinator2022-23
- Saints OC, then Seahawks OC — Super Bowl LX champions2024-25
- Raiders head coach & play-caller2026
Tendency reliability
New play-caller (Chip Kelly (Wks 1-12), then Greg Olson from Week 13 called plays here in 2025). Last season's tendencies describe a different coach's offense — project from this season's sample, small as it is.

Fourth downs get kicked.
The go rate on short 4th downs fell from 83% to 50%. Drives that stall now end in kicks — fewer extra possessions-worth of touchdown equity.
48.4shotgun
More under center.
Shotgun rate fell from 66.3% to 48.4% — more under-center snaps, which usually travels with a heavier run game and play-action rather than quick game.
63.2motion
More motion at the snap.
Motion at the snap rose from 52.4% to 63.2% of charted plays. Motion buys free releases and defined reads — it tends to concentrate targets on the players the scheme is built around.
Offensive coordinator
Andrew Janocko
Janocko, 38, is a first-time NFL OC with no documented primary game-day calling experience. He has worked alongside Kubiak in Minnesota, New Orleans and Seattle and now supports Kubiak's game-planning and play-calling.
Has not been a primary NFL play-caller, so there is no competing track record to muddy the read: the tendencies on this page are Kubiak's.
Defensive coordinator
Rob Leonard
Player-driven base 3-4 emphasizing front discipline and playing fast. Leonard is a first-time DC and defensive play-caller after serving as Las Vegas' run-game coordinator/DL coach; his 2025 unit allowed 3.9 yards per rush, tied for second-best in the NFL.
Through Week 3 the defense allows -0.18 EPA per play (1st in the NFL, a top-ten unit). A defense this stout tilts game script toward leads — more second-half carries, fewer desperation targets.
Staff continuity
New install
Kubiak's first season calling the Raiders offense
First-year installs carry the highest tendency risk in football: terminology, staff and quarterback relationships are all new at once. Weight what this staff is doing now over anything carried forward from 2025.

Kubiak has 4 prior play-calling seasons in this table, so read the history as background and the 2026 pace row as the live read. Positional finishes are season-long PPR ranks from nflverse scoring data. A row with a week range covers only the games he called that season, ranked against the league over the same weeks.
How he distributes the ball
Target split by position across Kubiak's play-calling seasons since 2016, vs. league average.
Filled bar = Kubiak offenses · thin marker = league average
The lean: wide receivers run 4 points below league average under Kubiak (55% vs 59%). Position splits this stable are scheme, and scheme is what carries week to week.
How he manages a backfield
Lead back's share of backfield weighted opportunities, by season called.
No clean trend: the lead back's share of backfield weighted opportunities (carries + 2×targets) has moved around season to season. Treat the current split as the read and revisit it weekly.
Play-calling by score state
Pass rate when leading, close, and trailing, 2026 through Week 3.
A 0-point pass-rate swing between leading and trailing. Ahead, the backfield eats; behind, the targets spike — check the spread before you set a flex. Through Week 3 some of these buckets are thin (play counts shown), so treat the splits as early reads.
The fantasy bottom line: a new play-caller means 2025 data is context at best — what you can bank on is what Kubiak is showing now: 4th-down go rate below league average (50% vs 75%), and shotgun rate below league average (48.4% vs 59%). The target tree leans WR, and the lead back holds 83% of the backfield's weighted opportunities. Every number on this page is computed from nflverse play-by-play and FTN charting — when it changes, the page changes.
