Cameron Dicker connected on a 38-yard field goal to cap a Chargers possession in Monday night’s clash with the Raiders, marking his 100th NFL field-goal attempt and setting an NFL record by converting 94 of those tries (94-for-100). The feat underscores his elite accuracy as a high-floor fantasy asset, especially with the Chargers still patient in the red zone and Dicker delivering when targets are scarce. He sits at a perfect 3-for-3 to start the 2025 campaign, reinforcing his role as a dependable scorer.

From undrafted rookie with Philadelphia in 2022 to Chargers staple, Dicker’s career arc highlights patience and opportunity. His consistency provides weekly floor for fantasy managers even amid offenses that stall, and the early-season metrics suggest continued value as the Chargers lean on him to convert chances into points.

Tom Brady’s Raiders minority ownership is turning hands-on. He sat in the coaches’ booth during a Monday-night clash with the Chargers, headset on, as Chip Kelly notes Brady meets Raiders staff several times weekly. A 2025 rule change will loosen access, but questions of conflict with Fox duties persist, a dynamic fantasy managers should monitor.

Watch how the NFL responds this week. For fantasy, Brady’s influence could shift Raiders’ planning and player output in key matchups, making game flow less predictable and changing the value of Raiders assets.

Khalil Mack exited Monday’s Chargers-Raiders game with an elbow injury, hobbling to the locker room after a collision with Tre Tucker. He was listed questionable, then ruled out, leaving LA’s pass rush thinner and forcing fantasy managers to monitor his status for the coming week.

Mack started fast with a sack on the Raiders’ opening drive, pushing his total against them to 12.5 since 2018. If he misses time, the Chargers’ defense could lose a key edge, heightening risk for opponents and shifting some value to backup rushers in IDP and DFS.
