Huddle Up: Smith is coming off one of the worst seasons in his career after being benched late in the season by the Las Vegas Raiders. He comes to New York for a fresh start but it will be hard for fantasy players to by into him bouncing back in 2026.

Huddle Up: The 35-year-old Smith had a year he'd like to forget while playing for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025. Over 15 games last season, Smith threw for 3,025 passing yards with 19 touchdowns but led the league with 17 interceptions and was sacked 55 times. He should be viewed as a QB2 option for 2026 fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Smith should be considered the leading candidate for the starting job next season, but fantasy players can monitor the situation during the offseason. He will likely be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he wins the starting job.

Huddle Up: Smith will become the expected starter for the Jets in 2026. He may have some fantasy value in deeper leagues or 2QB ones, but he will be a volatile piece in your lineup with highs and lows.

Huddle Up: With a weak QB class projected in this year's NFL Draft, Smith could latch on somewhere to have a chance to start or compete. He offers minimal fantasy appeal, though, mostly in two-QB or superflex leagues.

Huddle Up: Jeanty working in a committee isn't the worst news to fantasy players' ears. In Seattle, Kubiak used both Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, with Walker remaining the lead back. This should help Jeanty stay fresh later in games, but fantasy players can understandably proceed with caution.

Huddle Up: The Raiders will likely select a quarterback with the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, so Smith is unlikely to be a starting option if he remains with the team. He will probably be a starting quarterback for a team in 2026 but is only a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.

Huddle Up: Jeanty had to work for every yard as a rookie, but with a few offseason additions, along with Kubiak's offensive system, it wouldn't be surprise to see Jeanty's numbers improve in 2026. His volume alone makes him a RB2, and a RB1 season isn't out of the question.

Huddle Up: Smith did not have a great first season with the Raiders but will be working in a new offensive system next season. He will probably be a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues next season.

Huddle Up: Jeanty finished the season with 975 rushing yards and did average 3.7 yards per carry during the season. He will be working in a new offensive system next season but should continue to be a big part of the offense. He can be a No. 2 or No. 3 running back in all fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Jeanty failed to live up to the high expectations that followed him into the league, but he didn't exactly get much help from his offensive line. He still managed to top 1,300 yards from scrimmage and score 10 times, and his 55 receptions were a reminder of his receiving ability. If the Raiders can make some upgrades on offense before next season, Jeanty could quickly become a weekly RB1.

Huddle Up: Tucker's numbers have improved in each of his first three seasons, but outside of a three-touchdown outburst in Week 3, he didn't show much upside. In fact, he was held under 50 receiving yards in each of his final 11 games. Tucker will have a new coach and likely a new quarterback in 2026, but the Raiders may also bring in competition at the receiver position. Tucker should have a good chance to enter the year as a starter, but he will be a speculative WR5.

Huddle Up: There were obviously not too many great developments for the Raiders this season, but one of the better ones was Mayer effectively serving as the team's top option in the passing game once Brock Bowers (knee) was placed on IR before Week 17. With Mayer set to enter the final year of his rookie contract in 2026 and his talent still very much in demand around the league, Mayer could be an attractive trade asset for a contender this offseason. In the right situation, he could easily emerge as a top-10 tight end option in fantasy.

Huddle Up: The highlight of Tucker's season was undoubtedly his 8-143-3 explosion in Week 3 against the Washington Commanders. He flirted with fantasy relevance after that, but he suffered the same fate as most of his teammates - all of whom were weighed down by the quarterback situation and one of the worst offensive line groups in the league. Tucker will likely begin the 2026 season as the team's No. 2 receiver - the Raiders will almost certainly prioritize adding a premium player at the position to feature in the offseason - which means he should be considered more of a back-end WR5 prospect in early best-ball drafts.

Huddle Up: Jeanty's rookie season will be considered a disappointment for what most expect from a No. 6 overall draft pick, but that really should not be the case. The Boise State product ran behind arguably the league's worst offensive line for most of the year and operated in an offense led by a play-caller (Chip Kelly) who has proven he cannot adapt once the league adapts to him. It should not come as a surprise if Jeanty falls into the late second or early third round of fantasy drafts this spring and summer, which would make him a great value if the Raiders can upgrade a few key spots this offseason - starting with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Huddle Up: The production is not great to say the least, but it was his first action all season after spending most of the year on IR. He also looked like an All-Pro when compared to Week 18 starter Kenny Pickett, who accounted for 11 yards during an awful first quarter before he was replaced by O'Connell. The third-year pro is far from a franchise quarterback, but he has performed well enough in spots during his pro career - while dealing with less-than-ideal circumstances - to remain a quality backup in Las Vegas even if the team decides to make wholesale changes in the coming days or weeks.

Huddle Up: In his defense, Pickett was somewhat limited by the same supporting cast that hindered Geno Smith for most of the second half of the season. With that said, he recorded twice as many sacks (two) as he did completions while barely moving the offense. Las Vegas could be undergoing some sweeping changes in the offseason, meaning Pickett could be looking for a job again sooner than later. It is also safe to say his chances of holding even a backup job in the NFL are running out.

Huddle Up: Lockett is the team's leading receiver, but the benching of Geno Smith means you should stay away from the Raiders' offense in Week 18.

Huddle Up: Lockett was added to the injury report during the week but seems to be dealing with a minor injury. He will likely see a few targets in the passing game this week but can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Fantasy players can monitor the situation during the week to see if Smith or Kenny Pickett will be the starting quarterback in Week 18. Smith is the more valuable of the two quarterbacks in terms of fantasy, but both can be avoided in leagues.

Huddle Up: It was Lockett's first touchdown of the season between seven games in Tennessee, and nine games with Las Vegas. Still, he has 10 or fewer receiving yards in each of the past three games, so he isn't exactly finishing up strong.

Huddle Up: Tucker has re-emerged as a solid option in deeper fantasy leagues in the past two games, posting nine receptions and 92 yards with 11 targets. He and the Raiders finish up with the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18.

Huddle Up: Mayer did his best Brock Bowers imitation, stepping up after the latter landed on the Reserve/Injured list this week due to his ongoing knee injury. Mayer will look to finish up strong in Week 18 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Huddle Up: Jeanty didn't do a lot against a very giving defense, so you could say it was a bit of a disappointment after the rookie scorched a top-tier Houston defense in Week 16 for 128 rushing yards, 60 receiving yards and two total TDs. Still, Jeanty has looks good at times behind one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL. The arrow is certainly pointing up for Jeanty heading into 2026.

Huddle Up: Pickett came on in the fourth quarter after Smith reportedly suffered a high-ankle sprain. That's not an easy injury to recover from, so don't be surprised to see Pickett as the starting quarterback in the Week 18 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Only those in the deepest of fantasy leagues, and DFS players looking for a low-cost value need to pay him any mind.

Huddle Up: There had been some speculation that Jeanty would be held out of action because both the Raiders and Giants are vying for the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He should be viewed as a low-end RB2 or flex option in fantasy leagues because his upside is limited by the struggles of the Las Vegas offense, particularly the offensive line, which is considered to be one of the worst units in the league.

Huddle Up: Lockett has not been a big factor in the passing game recently with under 15 yards in three of the last four games. He may see a few targets this week but can be avoided in all leagues.

Huddle Up: Lockett seems poised to play in Week 17 against the New York Giants based on his practice participation. He can be in your lineup as a flex play in deeper leagues, but can be avoided otherwise.
