Las Vegas Raiders

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers could reclaim his spot as the overall TE1 in fantasy scoring in a matchup with the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. The Rams have allowed the second-most PPR fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, and they should have trouble slowing down one of the NFL's finest at his position. The rookie leads all tight ends in targets (46), receptions (37), and receiving yards (384). He's also scored one touchdown. He'll likely have an expanded role for the rest of the season after former Raiders WR Davante Adams' departure to the New York Jets. He's a stud and must be started in any leagues that have tight end slots on their rosters.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White will face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7, and it's unlikely he'll have much success. He's averaging just 3.1 yards per carry this season and appears to be set to lose volume to fellow RB Alexander Mattison. White doesn't have much pass-catching upside, hasn't scored a touchdown this season, and has lost two fumbles. His highest scoring outing totaled just 6.8 PPR fantasy points in a game where he had four targets. He's had just seven targets all year. The Rams defense has been one of the league's worst, but Las Vegas' offense won't have Davante Adams, who was traded, or Jakobi Meyers (ankle), who is doubtful to play. White should not be started except in the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell will face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. While they have a much softer defense than the Pittsburgh Steelers he played against in Week 6, he will be missing two important offensive weapons. Wide receiver Davante Adams is now with the New York Jets, and his now-top receiver, Jakobi Meyers (ankle), is doubtful to play. The second-year passer will now have to work with rookie tight end Brock Bowers and sophomore WR Tre Tucker as his top pass-catching options. Bowers has played admirably, but it could be yet another low-volume offensive performance for the black and silver on Sunday. O'Connell profiles as a fringe starter in 2QB fantasy leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White (groin), who has missed the last two games with a groin ailment, was able to upgrade to a full practice on Friday, but he's still listed as questionable to play in Week 7 versus the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. White put in limited showings on both Wednesday and Thursday. The full practice session on Friday would seem to indicate that the 25-year-old is on the right side of questionable. However, in terms of fantasy, managers won't be in any kind of rush to throw the ineffective RB back into starting lineups this weekend if he's active on Sunday. The Raiders play in the later window on Sunday as well, making White even less attractive as a fantasy starter. If White is active, he will most likely share backfield work with Alexander Mattison, making him a low-upside RB3/flex, at best.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is officially listed as doubtful to play in Week 7 on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Rams. Head coach Antonio Pierce was hopeful that Meyers would play this weekend after he missed practice on Wednesday, but the 27-year-old pass-catcher wasn't able to get back on the practice field on Thursday and is now likely to miss his second straight game. After the Raiders traded away All-Pro receiver Davante Adams to the Jets this week, their receiving corps is brutally thin with Meyers also hurt. They will move forward with Tre Tucker, DJ Turner and rookie tight end Brock Bowers as their primary targets for quarterback Aidan O'Connell through the air. Tyreik McAllister and Kristian Wilkerson could also get more involved for the Raiders at wideout. At best, Tucker should be considered more of a WR5/flex in fantasy with Meyers likely out again.
