The Raiders’ revamped offense has hit headwinds, hampered by a knee injury to Brock Bowers and a concussion to Jackson Powers-Johnson, plus a tougher-than-expected offensive line. Geno Smith’s addition hasn’t yet unlocked the full potential, while Jakobi Meyers emphasizes leadership and daily improvement as the team fights through a slow start. With a short week and looming schedule, Las Vegas must translate practice gains into production and protect fantasy upside.

Leadership and resilience are front and center as the unit adjustments continue. The key is health and timely utilization of the receiving corps, while the running game and pass protection must tighten up to support a more efficient attack. Fantasy managers should monitor injury updates and game-plan tweaks to identify emerging value in the weeks ahead.

In short, the offense remains a work in progress, but the door to a turnaround stays ajar if health returns, the line steadies, and play-caller adjustments balance the target shares for Meyers, the backs, and the new quarterbacks who can elevate the unit.

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.
