Las Vegas fell 22-19 to San Francisco on a late 59-yard Jake Moody field goal, but the Raiders showed marked improvement in penalties and execution from Seattle. Carlson connected on multiple kicks, Bech flashed at receiver, and Mayer hauled in a near-goal-line grab while McCormick and Jeanty impressed as young backs with solid blocking and running. Purdy led SF on a brief opening drive before his day ended, while O’Connell answered with a clearer line, two first downs to Bech and a TD to Jeanty that helped Vegas grab a halftime edge. Moody’s heroic kick capped a tight, competitive exhibition that left fantasy managers eyeing the Raiders’ young skill-position depth and the Niners’ kicker-pipeline as Week 3 looms.

With a cleaner game overall, Vegas trimmed penalties and pressure, and their special teams produced a few big plays on both sides of the ball. The No. 2 quarterback job remains unsettled, but O’Connell’s improved accuracy and Mayer’s red-zone involvement give fantasy managers reason to monitor the Raiders’ depth chart closely. SF’s Purdy-minute was short but efficient, Moody showed why he’s a weapon in late-game scenarios, Pearsall and Mayer flashed for fantasy, and the backup RBs and blockers offered a clearer path to the Vegas depth chart as preseason continues.

Overall, the Raiders offered a tangible step forward in discipline and execution, while SF balanced star power with their backups, keeping the division chase tight ahead of the finale. Fantasy managers should track who earns carries and targets in next week’s tune-up and how Vegas rotates their QB room behind Smith as they prepare for the regular season.
