Raiders | Keelan Doss back with Las Vegas Tue Jan 26, 04:57 PM
Free-agent WR Keelan Doss signed a Reserve/Future contract with the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday, Jan. 26.
| Footballguys view: Doss was thrust into the lineup for the Raiders back in 2019 but has mainly been a practice squad player for them. We'll monitor him but only in super deep dynasty formats. |

Raiders | Josh Jacobs lacked explosiveness Sat Jan 23, 10:19 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Josh Jacobs' 3.9 yards per carry and three runs of 20-plus yards were both the fewest among the eight backs who reached 1,000 rushing yards in 2020.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs went in the first round of some 2020 fantasy drafts on hopes of an even better year running the ball and newfound opportunity in the passing game but it never came together. He might be available in the third round in 2021 drafts. |

Raiders | Nelson Agholor may not return Fri Jan 22, 08:34 PM
Las Vegas Raiders impending free-agent WR Nelson Agholor may be too expensive for the Raiders to re-sign this offseason, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Paul Gutierrez.
| Footballguys view: Agholor did a nice job for the Raiders in 2020. He finished with a career-high 896 receiving yards and tied his career best with 8 receiving touchdowns. Agholor's career stalled out with the Eagles, but he showed last year with the Raiders that he could still make plays. If the Raiders move on, Agholor has done enough to have multiple teams interested in his services. |

Link to story Raiders | Tyrell Williams could be let go Sat Jan 16, 10:17 PM
Las Vegas Raiders WR Tyrell Williams may be a cap casualty this season because the team would save $11.6 million in salary cap space if they release him.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. Things haven't gone the way the Raiders planned since they picked Williams up. Injury or ineffectiveness (miscast as their no.1 receiver a year ago) have plagued his time with the Raiders. They have a nice collection of young WR talent like Henry Ruggs, Hunter Renfrow and Bryan Edwards to move forward with. |

Free-agent WR Trey Quinn (Jaguars) was signed to a Reserve/Future contract by the Las Vegas Raiders Tuesday, Jan. 12.
| Footballguys view: A seventh-round pick out of SMU in the 2018 NFL draft, Quinn didn't do much for the Jaguars in 2020. He did catch 26 passes in 2019 for Washington, starting six games as their slot receiver. He'll try to latch on with the Raiders now in a similar role. |
