Latest news and updates about the Raiders
The Las Vegas Raiders head to Levi's Stadium for Week 9, facing a 6‑1 San Francisco 49ers after the Bay‑area club returns from a bye. The 49ers, who have won five of the last six matchups dating back to 2002, beat the Raiders 37‑34 in overtime on New Year’s Day 2023, when rookie Jarrett Stidham replaced Derek Carr. Kickoff is Sunday at 1:25 p.m. PT, marking the Raiders’ first regular‑season game in the Bay Area since leaving Oakland.
Klint Kubiak deserves praise for not keeping the status quo in the Las Vegas Raiders' RB room in Week 8 by switching from Mike Washington Jr. to Ashton Jeanty.
The Philadelphia Eagles, now 2-6, could trade left guard Landon Dickerson—still under contract through 2028—after his five‑game injury stint and two starts. The article lists six likely suitors: the Las Vegas Raiders, who need offensive‑line help to protect No. 1 pick quarterback Fernando Mendoza; the Cleveland Browns, desperate after a 21‑point loss and a surge in sacks; the New England Patriots, coping with injuries to Alijah Vera‑Tucker and Mike Onwenu; the Buffalo Bills, seeking to protect MVP‑level Josh Allen; the Green Bay Packers, battling line injuries; and the Denver Broncos. Each team’s specific needs and Dickerson’s Pro‑Bowl pedigree are outlined.
After a 28-24 loss to the Detroit Lions at Ford Field, the Minnesota Vikings’ offensive woes are on full display. Despite holding a late lead, the Vikings managed only two drives longer than three minutes while the Lions dominated time of possession (35:43 to 24:17). The article argues that quarterback Kyler Murray’s shotgun‑heavy style clashes with Kevin O’Connell’s play‑action, under‑center system—contrasting him with successful Vikings QBs Kirk Cousins and Sam Darnold. With few realistic trade options and the Raiders unlikely to part with Cousins (who currently ranks second in NFL TD passes), the Vikings may be stuck with Murray for the rest of the season.
In the eighth edition of the "Fernando Mendoza Meter," Kirk Cousins has cooled the heat on his seat as the Las Vegas Raiders' starting QB after a Week 8 win.
In Week 8 the Raiders snap a four‑game skid with a win that keeps their playoff hopes alive, while the AFC West sees big drama. Denver rallies from an 11‑point deficit to beat Kansas City 28‑24 after a missed field goal and a goal‑line stand, vaulting the Broncos to a 6‑2 record. The Chargers remain winless, falling 24‑9 to the Rams as Justin Herbert throws two interceptions. Standings now show Denver 6‑2, Chiefs 5‑2, Raiders 4‑4 and Chargers 0‑7. The recap also links to Raiders’ wild‑card outlook and key player notes.
Unexpected shootouts and disappointing key matchups were the storylines for Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season, with the BUF-BAL matchup failing to live up to the pre-game billing and the NYJ-LV, DAL-AZ, and CIN-TEN games putting up 213 total points between the three.

The Las Vegas Raiders had more positives than negatives in their bounce-back win against the New York Jets in Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season.
Fantasy owners looking to stream defenses for Week 9 get five under‑used options. The Chiefs (15th, 5.4 pts/game) face a low‑scoring Jets unit; the 49ers (10th, 7.0 pts) host a high‑powered Raiders offense; the Giants (20th, 5.1 pts) return from a bye against struggling Eagles; the Lions (25th, 4.0 pts) meet a 31st‑ranked Dolphins attack; and the Saints (23rd, 4.1 pts) tackle a 29th‑ranked Browns. All are owned in less than 55% of ESPN leagues, making them potential waiver‑wire steals.
The NFL widens its probe into Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs after police records reveal three more women accusing him of physical abuse dating to 2021‑2022, during his time with the Las Vegas Raiders. Jacobs, who missed six games earlier this season following a May 2026 arrest on felony strangulation charges, has been cleared to play and scored two touchdowns in a 27‑19 win over the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 29. No new criminal charges have been filed, and the Packers remain silent as the league says the new allegations will be reviewed.
The Houston Texans have signed veteran defensive tackle Naquan Jones off the San Francisco 49ers’ practice squad. Jones, who played three games for the 49ers before they opted to keep returning starters James Thompson and Mykel Williams, spent training camp with Houston, was cut in August, and then joined the Vikings before the 49ers grabbed him last month. His move frees a practice‑squad slot for San Francisco as they prepare for the Las Vegas Raiders, with DT CJ West and linebacker Sebastian Valdez looming as possible returns.
The Game Haus breaks down five under‑the‑radar RBs worth snagging in Week 9 of standard‑scoring fantasy leagues, each owned by under 55% of ESPN owners. Jonah Coleman (Broncos) is primed for a bigger role after an IR move to RJ Harvey, posting a TD and four catches vs. the Chiefs. Tyler Allgeier (Cardinals) exploded for 147 yards and two TDs while Jer Love’s ankle lingers. Raiders’ Mike Washington Jr. hauled 25 carries for 83 yards in Week 8, still a low‑draft pick at 17.5%. Packers’ MarShawn Lloyd could become a starter if Josh Jacobs gets suspended. Colts’ Seth McGowen may inherit work if Jonathan Taylor is traded before the Nov 10 deadline. All are viable waiver‑wire options for managers looking to boost their rosters.
The New York Jets are running out of excuses. Their latest defensive collapse might be the most frustrating yet.

Aaron Glenn’s decision to assume defensive play‑calling has backfired, leaving the New York Jets stuck at 2‑6 after a 38‑33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. Despite a strong offensive start—scoring on their first six possessions, a feat achieved by only two other teams in 45 years—the Jets’ defense collapsed, prompting ESPN’s Rich Cimini to note the historic rarity. Analysts from ESPN, The Athletic and the New York Post debate Glenn’s future, with many predicting his firing as inevitable. The article links to multiple recaps and reactions, highlighting Braelon Allen’s 147‑yard rush and Adonai Mitchell’s career game amid the defeat.

The 49ers grab the NFC lead after the Vikings fall, tying both teams at 6‑1 with the 49ers winning the tiebreaker on Strength of Victory (opponents’ .427 win rate vs. .409). Ahead of Week 9 vs. the Raiders, the team’s schedule includes practices and multiple press conferences with Kyle Shanahan, Raheem Morris, Klay Kubiak, and QB Brock Purdy.
