The Bleacher Report recently wrote an article outlining 10 bold predictions for the deadline. One of the proposed deals sees the Raiders trade Meyers to the New England Patriots, reuniting him with Josh McDaniels. The Raiders get a fifth-round pick back for Meyers.

Turnovers: The Jacksonville defense thrives on turnovers. The team is Top 5 in takeaways, and Raiders quarterback Geno Smith has thrown more picks than any other NFL QB. The offensive line has been porous, allowing 19 sacks through the first seven weeks of the season. If there’s any good news, the Jaguars don’t have a particularly strong pass rush.

Four NFL teams are on bye in Week 9, leaving many fantasy football managers to stream wide receivers looking for production.

Ashton Jeanty entered the NFL as a top-10 pick and a Heisman Trophy finalist who nearly set the NCAA record for rushing yards in a season.

With the trade deadline nearing, NFL rumors this time report that the Raiders’ Jakobi Meyers could be an “ideal fit” for the Steelers.

The only time this season the Raiders' offense looked at least somewhat formidable was in their opening 20-13 victory at New England. Brock Bowers, arguably the NFL's top tight end, entered his second season by catching five passes for 103 yards.

Among the many potential player names that have been floated as trade targets is Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby. Crosby is in the midst of his seventh NFL season in Las Vegas and, while both he and the team have stated that they don’t want to part ways, their 2-5 start to the ‘25 campaign could force both sides into a difficult decision.
