Fantasy Impact: The Dolphins had been said to have interest in Mayer before they traded for Jonnu Smith. He'll remain behind Brock Bowers in the Raiders offense this season, but we could see them both on the field at times under new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly in 12 personnel. Mayer remains a stash in dynasty leagues and off the fantasy radar in redraft as long as Bowers is healthy.

Fantasy Impact: The deal includes another $500K in incentives. Pratt was released by the Bengals as a cap casualty. He should compete for a starting role at linebacker for the Raiders this season.

Fantasy Impact: Jeanty’s physicality and versatility as a workhorse back make him a top-tier RB1 target in redraft and dynasty leagues, likely commanding a first-round pick. His dual-threat ability on the ground and through the air elevates the Raiders’ offense significantly. Raheem Mostert’s backup role ensures Jeanty’s heavy workload, boosting his 2025 fantasy ceiling.

Fantasy Impact: Crosby’s 59.5 career sacks in 95 games cement him as a top-tier DE1 for IDP leagues, especially after his 7.5-sack 2024 campaign. His full recovery from tightrope surgery signals a return to elite production, boosting the Raiders’ defensive ceiling. At 27, he’s a must-draft for fantasy managers seeking consistent quarterback pressure.

Fantasy Impact: Mellott’s 6-foot frame and OTA performance hint at WR5 potential, but he trails Tre Tucker, Dont’e Thornton, and Jack Bech in a crowded Raiders room. His slot work and return duties limit his 2025 redraft value to minimal snaps. He’s a dynasty flier with special teams upside.

Fantasy Impact: The Raiders are expected to run the ball more with Ashton Jeanty and the passing offense will continue to run through Brock Bowers. After those two, opportunity is open in the Raiders offense with Jakobi Meyers figuring to also play a big role. Nonetheless, Bech will still have a chance in training camp to earn an immediate big role in the passing game with new QB Geno Smith.

Fantasy Impact: Meyers is set to enter the final year of his current three-year contract. This will be something to monitor as the offseason progresses.

The Raiders released CB Jack Jones. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The move was made after Las Vegas tried to trade Jones, but they were unable to do so. He has one year left on his rookie contract, so he'll have to clear waivers. There is still enough upside in Jones to where he shouldn't have much of a problem finding a fresh start with another team.

Fantasy Impact: The deal has incentives that can take the new-money total to $85.5 million, while the max value extension includes $66.5 million in guarantees. The two sides have been working on an extension, and Smith now remains in Las Vegas through 2027.

The Raiders signed TE Ian Thomas.

Fantasy Impact: Thomas had held a limited role in the passing game with the Panthers. He'll be a depth add and should remain off the fantasy radar.

The Raiders signed DT Leki Fotu.

Fantasy Impact: Fotu lands in Las Vegas after meeting with them and the Bills. He appeared in just two games last season after making nine starts two years ago. He'll add depth on the defensive line for the Raiders.

Fantasy Impact: Butler appeared in seven games last season. He will remain in a depth role on the defensive line for Las Vegas.

Fantasy Impact: Deablo spent four seasons with the Raiders and tallied 63 total tackles and one sack in 14 games in 2024. The 26-year-old will help bolster the Falcons' linebackers heading into the 2025 season.
