Raiders-Bears Week 4: Dylan Parham, Jordan Meredith, Jackson Powers-Johnson a point of emphasis on Sunday | Silver And Black Pride

Raiders Week 4 focal point is stabilizing the interior line against Chicago. Vegas shuffled left guard and center, with Alex Cappa stepping in at right guard as Jackson Powers-Johnson heals, while Jordan Meredith remains in flux. The run game has lagged and Ashton Jeanty has all rushing yards after contact. The Bears’ interior defense is watchful, but Gervon Dexter provides a real interior rush threat. Kickoff is 1:00 p.m. PT on CBS.

If the Raiders’ interior line finally stabilizes this week, which fantasy angles look the strongest in Week 4?How does Gervon Dexter influence this matchup, from a fantasy-friendliness lens?Which game-plan adjustments are most likely if the interior struggles persist?What is the immediate fantasy implication for Ashton Jeanty if the line stabilizes?

How 1 Adjustment Has Shaken Things Up for the Raiders

How 1 Adjustment Has Shaken Things Up for the Raiders

Las Vegas reshaped its blocking unit this offseason, preserving only limited continuity on the offensive line. Powers-Johnson's concussion sidelined him for two weeks, forcing guard rotations and testing the depth chart.

With only one game featuring the full starting unit in three, coach Chip Kelly stresses attrition in the trenches and the value of Alex Cappa's versatility. Week 3 at Chicago will test the line's resilience and the run game’s efficiency, shaping fantasy output across LV's offense.

Given the Raiders' o-line rotation and Powers-Johnson's status, should fantasy managers fade LV's RBs in Week 3 or target the back who benefits from improved run blocking?If Powers-Johnson returns in Week 4, how quickly can LV stabilize the line and which players lose snaps?Which guard rotation scenarios are most likely to push Alex Cappa to left guard vs right guard, and how does that affect protection schemes?Does Chicago's defense press LV into more blitzes, and how should fantasy QBs adjust for Week 3?

Matchups favoring Montez Sweat and Chicago Bears against Raiders

Week 4 pits the Chicago Bears against the Las Vegas Raiders with fantasy implications on every snap. Chicago plans to lean on edge pressure from Montez Sweat and interior disruption from Gervon Dexter to pressure Geno Smith and force hurried throws. Vegas counters with explosive plays and a quick-pass attack that strains Chicago’s coverage, while slot targets Olamide Zaccheaus, Luther Burden III and DJ Moore could deliver big days if the Raiders’ safety Pola-Mao gets pulled toward the deep routes.

Which Bears player should fantasy managers prioritize in Week 4 against the Raiders, and why?Which Raiders player offers the most consistent fantasy floor in this game?If Sweat breaks out, what game script should fantasy managers watch for in the scoreline?Which slot receiver in Chicago is the best contrarian start this week?

The Noise Around Raider Nation: Should Fans Be Worried?

Raiders sit at 1-2 as frustration grows, but the insiders stress patience and a measured path forward. Pete Carroll pushes stability, testing Jackson Powers-Johnson at center while the rest of the line fights for cohesion. Brock Bowers’ brace, Michael Mayer’s illness protocol, Caleb Williams’ elite talent, and Rome Odunze’s burgeoning role pepper the conversation, shaping early-season fantasy and betting angles around line decisions, health timelines, and high-upside targets.

Based on the Raiders' current state and the discussed lineup tests, which backfield option offers the clearest near-term fantasy upside if JPJ wins the center job?With Mayer in protocol and Bowers banged up, who steps up to fill red-zone opportunities in the short term?Which USC defender matchup is most likely to exploit Williams’ weaknesses in a Raiders game plan?Odunze is emerging as a top target; which lineup construction maximizes his upside against the Raiders?

Week 3 Grades Show How Much the Raiders Changed

Raiders Week 3 collapse on all fronts: O-line fail, rookie Jeanty stifled, and Geno Smith had little time to find targets while Washington seized control. With Powers-Johnson cemented at guard and questions about Cappa versus him at right guard, Las Vegas must regroup quickly for Week 4. Special teams cratered (PFF 42.8), exposing a multi-phase weakness that fantasy managers must monitor as lineup decisions loom.
