Availability
The Las Vegas Raiders intend to hire Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as their next head coach.
Fantasy Impact
While the deal is not yet finalized — with Seattle playing in Super Bowl LX next week — Las Vegas has zeroed in on its leader after an extensive search. The Raiders have the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, giving Kubiak a potential franchise quarterback to build the team around, alongside running back Ashton Jeanty and tight end Brock Bowers.
Pete Carroll has been fired by the Las Vegas Raiders. A year after signing a three year deal with the team in hopes of a win-now season, Carroll is out.
Fantasy Impact
Whoever management picks as the next head coach will have the benefit of drafting and developing the first overall pick. It’s not how the Raiders wanted their season to go, but if you have to stink, at least get a good pick for it.
The Raiders D/ST allowed 84 total passing yards, 84 rushing yards, and 12 points in a 14-12 win over the Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact
The Raiders' defense tallied eight sacks, two fumbles, and one safety in the win Sunday. For a defense that has struggled this season, they will end 2025 on a high note against a Chiefs' offense without Patrick Mahomes.
The Raiders D/ST allowed 34 points on 343 total yards with two sacks on Sunday against the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
The Raiders were too much for the Giants in a game where the loser was to position themselves for the No. 1 overall pick. They will take on the Chiefs in Week 18 to close the season.
The Raiders' D/ST failed to log even a single turnover or sack while allowing 23 points in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans.
Fantasy Impact
Las Vegas' defense has been bad all year, but they were especially bad on Sunday. They failed to make any big plays against the Texans and allowed 23 points over the course of the afternoon, which their offense couldn't keep up with. They may fare a little bit better against the Giants next week, but that won't be enough to make them worth starting.
