Meyers' absence is a big blow to the Raiders' short-staffed pass-catching corps though Brock Bowers' fantasy-scoring potential certainly rises. White will mix in as a member of the Raiders' inefficient rushing attack. The Raiders also declared RB Dylan Laube, CB Sam Webb, LB Kana'i Mauga, LB Tommy Eichenberg, OG Dylan Parham and DE Janarius Robinson inactive.
Laube drew a fair amount of interest in the preseason as a potential late-round fantasy darling out of the University of New Hampshire, but his first NFL carry was run right at T.J. Watt, who punched the ball out for a fumble. Laube may eventually have some NFL success, but it's hard to see holding onto him outside of the deepest dynasty leagues.
The Raiders have ruled RB Zamir White (groin) out for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos. It looks like he injured his groin on Wednesday, going from a limited practice then to no practice on Thursday or Friday. His absence will leave Alexander Mattison as Vegas' clear lead back. He figures to lose some passing-down snaps to RB Ameer Abdullah (and potentially Dylan Laube) and is playing on a team with the week's lowest implied total at 16.5 points. So the upside here isn't exciting. But Mattison should compile enough volume to post a decent fantasy score this week.
