Dylan Parham is peaking as Las Vegas readies for the season, delivering a standout Week 2 preseason showing versus the 49ers. In 15 snaps, he posted a 66.9 overall PFF grade with an 80.4 mark in pass protection and zero quarterback pressures or hits, underscoring his reliability in the interior.
Parham's trajectory has been intriguing: after spending time at left guard, he moved to right guard in 2024 and is now slated to return to left guard in 2025. A roughly 17-pound offseason gain and a contract-year mandate add fuel to a bigger role, potentially setting up a lucrative extension if the trend continues. This combination—peaking performance, positional stability, and financial motivation—could anchor the Raiders’ interior.
From a fantasy lens, Parham’s progress aligns with a Raiders’ plan to make the line a strength. If he secures and sustains the left-guard gig, his floor should rise with better protection and clearer running lanes. A stable guard presence often correlates with improved QB comfort and improved RB efficiency, making Parham a late-round target with meaningful upside if he stays healthy and entrenched at guard.
