2026 is the year of nowhere to go but up for the Raiders. 2025 featured them at or near the bottom in all major statistical offensive categories. The offense was putrid on a near historical level, finishing 31st in FPPG at QB/RB/TE. They scored the last amount of points in the NFL (14.2) and were 29th in run/pass split at 39/61. The only thing they did well was target TEs as they were third at 32%. The Raiders will have a new coach for the third consecutive year and this time they’re hoping there’s some staying power as Klint Kubiak comes over from Seattle. Also out is Geno Smith and in comes Kirk Cousins and top draft pick Fernando Mendoza. Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers return for years two and three respectively while also having some unproven holdovers in their wide receiver room with Tre Tucker and Jack Bech. The hope is that Kubiak can do a similar job than he did in Seattle with Sam Darnold and turn this offense into a run-first unit that takes the pressure off the rookie QB and funnels passes to it’s only superstar.
Player most likely to beat ADP: Ashton Jeanty (ADP 12, RB6)
Ashton Jeanty. The 6th overall pick in 2025 had 975 rushing yards with 346 receiving yards in his rookie season. He had 10 total touchdowns as well despite the Raiders throwing over 60% of the time due to constantly facing negative game scripts. Jeanty should crack 1,000 yards on the ground this year and his rushing touchdowns should increase as welr
Player most likely to fade based on ADP: Tre Tucker (ADP 182, WR 70)
