Team news: Las Vegas Raiders | Page 4

The Raiders are completing a trade of star WR Davante Adams to the Jets, sources say.

Related players: Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Mike Williams, Aaron Rodgers, Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, DJ Turner

This seemed like just a matter of time, and finally Adams is back with his good friend Rodgers. The deal was for a third round pick, according to other reports. Adams and Rodgers are very familiar with one another, and it should make for a smooth transition. It's possible Adams plays in Week 7. It's likely going to be a hit to Wilson's fantasy stock, just when Rodgers and Wilson were getting things going, too. There's a report also out today that Williams ran the wrong route in the MNF loss, and was called out by Rodgers after it resulted in an interception. The addition of Adams likely means Williams takes a big backseat in the offense, and it's even possible he gets moved before the deadline at this point. As for the Raiders, Bowers could be the focal point of this offense going forward as Meyers, Tucker and Turner battle it out to have fantasy relevance at WR. It may take some time for a pecking order to develop here, so anyone hurting for WR help can take a flier on at least Tucker and Turner, who may be on your wire.

Raiders HC Antonio Pierce said Aidan O'Connell will be the starting QB against the Steelers this Sunday.

Do not, under any circumstance, start O'Connell in Week 6.

Raiders WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is not expected to play this week vs. Steelers, per sources.

Related Players: Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, Brock Bowers

No surprise here, but at least we get the news early in the week. Meyers and Bowers look to benefit the most from Adams' absence (and eventual trade) and should be considered respective WR2 and TE1s.

The Raiders' preference as an organization is to get a Davante Adams trade done “sooner rather than later,” per multiple sources.

The Adams distraction is the last thing the team needs now as it continues to struggle. But, the post went on to say the Raiders aren’t going to do just any deal, and their preference has been not to take on any of the money remaining on Adams’ contract, according to Shultz's post. The post did say expect things to ramp up this week. The Raiders switched from Gardner Minshew to Aidan O'Connell against the Broncos, but it didn't lead to a spark on offense. Bowers may benefit the most with Adams no longer in the lineup and he posted an 8-97-1 line, followed by Meyers' 6-72-0 line. Tucker didn't have a great day, despite being a popular name on the waiver wire.

Pierce said #Raiders RB Zamir White (groin) is doubtful. DE Maxx Crosby (ankle) and G Dylan Parham (achilles) will practice today.

Related Players: Alexander Mattison

It looks like Mattison will get the nod and most of the ground game work, but he is in an awful situation with an offense that is nosediving. Dylan Laube and Ameer Abdullah should be involved in the pass game, which regulates Mattison to RB2/3 territory.

Raiders WR Davante Adams is not expected to play Sunday vs. the Broncos due to his hamstring injury, per league sources.

Related Players: Brock Bowers, Tre Tucker, Jakobi Meyers

There's a very real chance we've seen Adams play his last snap as a Las Vegas Raider, which leaves their receiver corps as one of the worst in the league if they don't get anyone back in a potential trade.

Plan is for Tyler Huntley to start again for Dolphins at QB Sunday vs. Patriots, per HC Mike McDaniel.

Related players: Tua Tagovailoa, Skylar Thompson, Tim Boyle, De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert, Jaylen Wright, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle

It wasn't good in Week 4 but the Dolphins don't really have any other option other than Boyle. No one on the Dolphin offense can really be trusted in fantasy lineups and it seemed like the Titans took away the run game daring Huntley to beat them, which didn't happen. The Dolphins have a bye in Week 6 and Tua is rumored to be back for Week 8, so those holding fantasy players on the Dolphins will need some patience over the next several weeks.

Yes, Davante Adams likely has played his last game as a Raider.

Via NFL Media, Adams has informed the Raiders that he would like to be traded.

Adams missed Week 5 after injuring his hamstring in practice last week. Reports began to circulate the Raiders have reached out to teams who may be interested in trading for Adams. The story said since they’d likely cut him after the season, before his $35.64 million salary hits the books, they wouldn’t get a compensatory draft pick when he signs elsewhere. The only way to get compensation is to trade him before the deadline, which arrives in five weeks, the story said.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert, who is listed as questionable because of his chest injury, is not expected to play tonight against the Titans, per source.

Related players: De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, Jeff Wilson

The Dolphins have said they will use caution with Mostert, who looks like he will miss another week. Achane should be the team's main back but Wright and Wilson will likely factor in as well. How the game script goes against the Titans will likely dictate how much work Achane loses to Wright and Wilson. In a 28-3 loss last week, Achane had 14 touches to Wright's 2 and Wilson's 3.

Raiders WR Davante Adams (hamstring) and DE Maxx Crosby (ankle) and TE Michael Mayer will all be OUT, says coach Antonio Pierce

Terrible news for the Raiders offense and their chances of beating the Browns in general. Meyers can be considered a fringe WR2/3 in Week 4, while Bowers might hit double-digit targets for the first time in his young career.
