Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers caught seven of 10 targets for 67 yards during Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He led the team in targets, tied for the most receptions, and finished one yard shy of the Raiders' receiving yards leader, Michael Mayer. It has been a successful and productive three weeks for Meyers, who is averaging 12 targets, eight receptions, and 95 yards per game during that span. Amidst all of his production, Meyers would certainly like some more involvement near the end zone. He has just two touchdowns this season, including zero over his last five games. The 28-year-old will look to continue his high-volume stretch while catching passes from Desmond Ridder next Sunday versus the Atlanta Falcons.
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Desmond Ridder completed 12 of his 18 pass attempts for 101 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also took one sack and rushed for three yards. Ridder entered in relief of Aidan O'Connell (knee), who was carted to the locker room and quickly ruled during the third quarter. The 25-year-old hasn't started a game this season, but he has made three appearances coming off the bench for Vegas. He could be headed for his first start of the year next week if O'Connell is forced to miss extended time. In Week 15, the Raiders face the Atlanta Falcons, potentially putting Ridder in a position to get revenge against his old team.
Las Vegas Raiders running back Sincere McCormick rushed for 78 yards on 15 carries during Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also caught two of his three targets for an additional 11 receiving yards. McCormick, officially signed to the active roster this week, played admirably while filling in for Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad). McCormick's efficiency and productivity also allowed him to operate as the Raiders' clear No. 1 running back over Ameer Abdullah. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor this backfield, as it's possible that McCormick remains the lead back even after Mattison and White return from their respective injuries. The 24-year-old should be treated as a solid RB3 option in fantasy football ahead of next week's battle with the Atlanta Falcons.
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was placed in an air cast and carted to the locker room during the third quarter. At the time of his departure, O'Connell had completed 11 of his 19 pass attempts for 104 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. He also had six rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. While O'Connell's stats weren't amazing, he helped keep the Raiders competitive and never trailing by more than four points. Desmond Ridder has replaced O'Connell at quarterback. If O'Connell misses extended time, Ridder would be in line to start against his old team, the Atlanta Falcons, in Week 15.
Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had been listed as questionable after logging three limited practices in a row, but the expectation all along was that he would not be able to suit up. With both Mattison and Zamir White (quadricep) sidelined for the third consecutive week, the Raiders will turn to Ameer Abdullah as their primary running back. Sincere McCormick should also continue to carve out a solid workload against the Bucs.
