Las Vegas Raiders

Treydan Stukes

S

Stukes appears to be on track to return to action Sunday versus the Chiefs after head coach Klint Kubiak confirmed that 25-year-old cleared concussion protocol, per Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site. Stukes has compiled 10 total tackles (six solo) and an interception over two contests this year, and he'll likely return to his starting role at free safety in Week 4.

Jeremy Chinn

S

Chinn came on a delayed blitz on a fourth down just outside the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter, and he was able to jar the ball loose from quarterback Tyler Shough's grasp in the backfield to give the Raiders the ball back with a 35-27 lead. His sizable role in Las Vegas' secondary means he might be worth a look as an IDP option in some formats heading into a Week 4 tilt versus the Chiefs.

Nakobe Dean

LB

Dean punched the ball out of tight end Juwan Johnson's hands in the flat with about one minute remaining in the contest, and the Raiders' recovery sealed their victory in Week 3. He profiles as a strong IDP option in most formats going into a Week 4 matchup versus the Chiefs.

Aidan O'Connell

QB

O'Connell was ruled out ahead of both of the Raiders' previous two games while tending to the personal matter, but head coach Klint Kubiak said that the signal-caller is expected to rejoin the team later this week. With Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza ahead of him on the depth chart, O'Connell is still expected to be inactive as the Raiders' emergency No. 3 quarterback even if he's available for this Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Fernando Mendoza

QB

Kirk Cousins again took every snap under center for Las Vegas in the high-scoring victory. There was some thought before the start of the season that Mendoza could work his way into the starting role quickly if Cousins or the team struggled, but instead Las Vegas is 3-0 and the veteran QB is tied for the NFL lead with nine touchdown passes. Mendoza will continue to learn on the sidelines until Cousins slows down, but the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft is still expected to get his chance before the season is over.

Cody White

WR

White began the campaign on Las Vegas' practice squad but has already been elevated for game day the maximum three times. He's collected three catches on six targets for 28 yards, with all three receptions going for touchdowns. Jack Bech (forearm) landed on injured reserve Tuesday, and White could immediately take Bech's role as the Raiders' No. 3 wide receiver.

Jack Bech

WR

Bech will be sidelined for at least the Raiders' next four games after sustaining a fractured left forearm during Sunday's 35-27 win over the Saints. In a corresponding move, the Raiders signed Cody White off their practice squad. White, who already has three touchdowns this season, is the leading candidate to replace Bech as the No. 3 wideout behind Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor.

Jalen Nailor

WR

Nailor struggled for the Raiders in Week 3. The team relied more on tight end Brock Bowers to carry the passing offense. Tre Tucker and Nailor received over three times fewer targets than the tight end in the contest, with Bowers establishing the pecking order early in his return from injury.

Hezekiah Masses

CB

Masses was able to get another interception in Week 3, jumping in front of a pass from Tyler Shough intended for wide receiver Bryce Lance in the fourth quarter. Notably, Masses maintained a starting role at cornerback in the return of Darien Porter, playing all 72 of the team's defensive snaps. Masses has now registered 11 total tackles (eight solo) and four passes defensed, including three interceptions, over three contests to open his rookie campaign.

Tre Tucker

WR

Tucker finished second on the team in targets, but he was far behind tight end Brock Bowers (13). The wide receiver was on the field for 40 of the team's 70 offensive snaps, and he was able to make it three straight games with at least two receptions to open the season. Tucker has now caught 11 of 15 targets for 189 yards and a touchdown to this point in 2026.

Mike Washington Jr.

RB

Washington was only on the field for 11 of the team's 70 offensive snaps, but he still left his mark on the contest. Most notably, the running back broke loose for a 36-yard rushing touchdown late in the third quarter. Washington is a distant No. 2 option behind Ashton Jeanty in the Raiders backfield, but he now has rushed 15 times for 102 yards and a TD over three contests to open the 2026 campaign.

Jackson Powers-Johnson

G

Powers-Johnson was questionable to return to Sunday's win over the Saints and was never able to reenter the contest. More clarity on the severity of the offensive lineman's injury and potential recovery timetable should be gleaned in coming days.

Bryce Cabeldue

G

Darrell Luter Jr.

CB

Dalton Johnson

S

JJ Pegues

DT

Matt Gay

PK

The kicker hit field goals from 41, 37 and 25 yards out, respectively, helping the Raiders light up the scoreboard. Gay has yet to miss this season, and the 3-0 Raiders have scored at least 26 points in every game.

Michael Mayer

TE

Brock Bowers made his season debut after recovering from minor knee surgery and made an immediate statement with a 10-116-1 line on 13 targets, but Mayer didn't vanish completely from the game plan as a receiver and hauled in his first score of the year in the second quarter. The three targets were still a season low for Mayer, after he compiled a 9-55-0 line on 11 looks from Kirk Cousins during Bowers' absence. As long as Bowers remains healthy, Mayer will struggle to make a consistent impact.

Kirk Cousins

QB

The veteran QB got his first chance to work with Brock Bowers, but it was Michael Mayer and Cody White who were on the other end of Cousins' first two TDs of the afternoon before he connected with his superstar tight end for a four-yard score in the fourth quarter that provided the game-winning points. Cousins has led the Raiders to a stunning 3-0 record to begin the season, completing 67.4 percent (62-for-92) of his passes for 661 yards with a 9:3 TD:INT, and 2026 first overall pick Fernando Mendoza could be waiting a while before he gets a chance to make his first NFL start. Cousins will face a much tougher test in Week 4 at home against Kansas City.

Ashton Jeanty

RB

The second-year back topped 20 touches for a third straight game to begin the season as he settles into a bell-cow role for the Raiders. Jeanty is still looking for his first rushing touchdown of 2026, but he did haul in two TD passes from Kirk Cousins back in Week 1, and through three contests he's amassed 206 rushing yards to go along with his 13-97-2 receiving line on 16 targets. While his yardage has been strong, however, Jeanty's 3.3 YPC leaves a lot to be desired. He may need to be more efficient with his volume in Week 4 at home against Kansas City.

Kwity Paye

DE

Brock Bowers

TE

Reports earlier in the day indicated Bowers was in line to make his 2026 season debut Sunday, and that has now been made official. The star tight end practiced in limited fashion in each of the first two days of Week 3 prep before sitting out Friday's session, which was labeled as a pre-planned absence by head coach Klint Kubiak. With Bowers ready to roll for the first time in the new campaign and no reports about him being on a snap limit, Michael Mayer appears set to return to a true No. 2 role, while fewer targets figure to be available for the likes of wideouts Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor and Jack Bech.

Dareke Young

WR

The wide receiver exited Sunday's win over the Chargers during the second half and opened the practice week with a limited session Wednesday. Young should be on track to play Sunday at New Orleans now that he's back, but his role will likely remain split between special teams and offense, areas where he's logged respective snap counts of 31 and 22 thus far this season.

Darien Porter

CB

The cornerback was limited in Wednesday's session. Porter missed the Raiders' Week 2 win over the Chargers with the foot injury, but now that he's logged a full practice, he should be on track to play Sunday at New Orleans. Porter played on 45 defensive snaps in Week 1 and broke up two passes.
