NFL Week 1 All-Stars: Josh Allen Or Caleb Williams At QB? Which RBs Make The Team?

Dylan Laube - Makes mark in win Laube recorded 2 fair catches on punts, two kick returns for 95 yards and two tackles during Sunday's 27-13 win versus the Dolphins.

Impact Laube only played 10 of Las Vegas' 68 offensive snaps in Week 1, but he had two long kick returns, both of which set up Raiders touchdowns. One of his tackles came after a Kirk Cousins interception early in the fourth quarter. His coaches won't complain about his effort, but fantasy managers probably can't expect reliable production barring an injury ahead of him on the running back depth chart.

Ian Thomas - Sees offensive snaps in win Thomas played 31 offensive snaps in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Thomas played 45 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps during Week 1, helping Ashton Jeanty get to 102 rushing yards. The No. 3 tight end was frequently in the trenches, assisting the team's revamped offensive line as it pushed to be 1-0 in 2026.

Jack Bech - Scores in season opener Bech caught three of four targets for 23 yards and a touchdown Sunday in a 27-13 win over Miami.

Impact Bech logged just 27 of Las Vegas' 68 offensive snaps, but his 3-23-1 receiving line on four targets was very similar to that of fellow wideouts Tre Tucker (3-27-0 on four targets) and Jalen Nailor (3-27-0 on five targets). Bech had by far the biggest impact, however, thanks to his 15-yard TD reception in the first quarter. QB Kirk Cousins leaned the most on running back Ashton Jeanty (6-45-2 receiving line on six targets) and tight end Michael Mayer (6-32-0 on seven targets) through the air, but his near-even distribution of targets among the team's wideouts is a good sign for Bech's potential to grow within the offense. The Raiders' WR corps doesn't have a clear-cut No. 1 option, so Bech has a chance to push for an increased role with a strong start to the campaign.

Malik Benson - Negative yardage in NFL debut Benson caught one pass on two targets for six yards while taking his lone carry for minus-eight yards during the Raiders' 27-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. He also returned tw...

Impact Benson caught a six-yard pass from Kirk Cousins in what was the former's first NFL catch, though he lost eight yards on a double reverse that the Dolphins' defense snuffed out. Benson's seven snaps on offense were the fewest among Raiders wide receivers Sunday, and even with Brock Bowers (knee) sidelined, the rookie sixth-rounder figures to be an afterthought in Las Vegas' offense, though he'll have the opportunity to make big plays on special teams as a punt returner.

Jalen Nailor - Three catches in Las Vegas debut Nailor caught three passes on five targets for 27 yards during the Raiders' 27-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Impact Nailor ended up leading all Raiders wide receivers in targets, though he finished third in that category behind Michael Mayer (seven) and running back Ashton Jeanty (six). Even with Brock Bowers (knee) sidelined, it looks like Nailor will operate in a complementary role in the Raiders' offense, especially in games where Jeanty gets it going as he did against Miami. Things won't get easier for Nailor in Week 2 against a 49ers defense that held Puka Nacua, Davante Adams and the rest of the Rams pass catchers in check in a 27-7 Week 1 win for San Francisco.

Fernando Mendoza - Observes Week 1 from sidelines Mendoza did not see the field during the Raiders' 27-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Impact Kirk Cousins was named the Raiders' starter in early September, and the veteran quarterback commanded the offense sufficiently in Sunday's win, completing 21 of 30 targets for 160 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Mendoza is firmly entrenched as the backup, though the rookie first-overall pick could take over as the Raiders' starter later this season if Cousins' production dips.

Brock Bowers - Considered day-to-day Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak labeled Bowers (knee) as day-to-day Monday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Impact After Bowers underwent a meniscus trim procedure last Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the star tight end expected to miss only "a game or two" before making his 2026 debut. Though a partial meniscectomy often entails a recovery period closer to one month, Bowers -- who sat out the Raiders' season-opening win over the Dolphins -- appears to be bouncing back well from his operation and looks like he could have a real chance of suiting up next Sunday against the Chargers.
