We discuss the best DFS options for the Minnesota Vikings and Las Vegas Raiders Week 1 preseason game.

In a game where the depth should see their most action of the preseason, Chandler is a solid value play here. Chandler was drafted in the fifth round of this year’s draft as the latest staple running back out of North Carolina. He is listed as fourth on the depth chart behind Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison and Kene Nwangwu, which means he should see a good amount of playing time in this game. He played in the Hall of Fame game and brought in his lone targets for a nice seven-yard gain. The Raiders played in the Hall of Fame game, so this will be their second preseason game. Mond was drafted in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He only played in one game his rookie year and finished 2-3 for five yards. The Minnesota Vikings will hit the road to take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1 of the preseason on Sunday, August 14.

And with Trayvon Mullen still on PUP and Rock Ya-Sin, Anthony Averett not expected to play, Robertson should get his first shot to show what he brings to the tabkle. That could just be McDaniels hiding his intentions for Hollins, but be on the look out to see if Hollins will peel back the curtain a little bit and show up today against the Vikings. Well, because White was the outlet for Josh McDaniels’s offense out of the backfield for the past eight years and put up some impressive numbers in the process.

The WNBA game ended just before halftime of the Raiders game, so it's likely both Davis and Waller made it in time for the second half. Vikings: QB Kirk Cousins tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the week and did not travel with the team. We’re obviously allowing these quarterbacks to compete, so sometimes we may feature a little bit more in the pass game to see kind of how those guys do in certain normal-down situations.” Las Vegas gained five or more yards on seven of its 15 first-down plays in the second half. He also ran for 16 yards on four carries, including a touchdown. “We’ve told them since the first day they got here that this was going to be a situation where guys earn their opportunities and they’ll determine their role.”

Kene Nwangwu and Ty Chandler also stood out in a 26-20 loss in Las Vegas.

Kene Nwangwu and Ty Chandler showed their explosiveness, combining for 91 yards on 12 carries and establishing Minnesota's presence on the ground. While Mond had something to prove, it was Sean Mannion who drew the start, albeit without several familiar faces. Mond came into the game midway through the second quarter and looked shaky on his opening drive.

Las Vegas coach Josh McDaniels was more conservative in this game, in terms of the roster, than he was in the Hall of Fame Game against Jacksonville on Aug. 4 ...

He ran for a short touchdown for the second straight game. The Las Vegas run defense struggled at times as well. Defensively, the Raiders had both good and bad moments. After looking great against Jacksonville, the Raiders’ run game wasn’t overly impressive Sunday in the first half but Austin Walter and Brittain Brown ran well in the second half. That is worrisome since the preseason competition is not great and Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack of the Los Angeles Chargers looming for Derek Carr in exactly four weeks. The only clear starter not to play Sunday (again) was left tackle Kolton Miller. What stood out most of the offensive line rotation was seventh-round pick Thayer Munford starting at right tackle ahead of 2021 first-round pick Alex Leatherwood. Brandon Parker, who started at left tackle last week, has been out with an injury.

Every pass by the former Cal standout was on target Sunday. Ex-Golden Bears star Camryn Bynum was in starting lineup for Vikings.

These exhibition games are important for Garbers, even if his chances of making the Raiders’ regular-season roster are slim. Stidham has the advantage of having played in head coach Josh McDaniels’ system while both were with the Patriots. And Mullens has the advantage of having made 17 regular-season NFL starts. So he is 6-for-9 for 54 yards for the preseason. But will he still be on the Raiders’ roster a week from now? Garbers was sacked on the next pass play called, although he nearly got away. Derek Carr, the Raiders’ starter, did not play Sunday. Jarrett Stidham, who looks like he will be Carr’s backup, played the entire first half, finishing 10-for-15 for 68 yards and a 76.5 passer rating.

The Minnesota Vikings faced off against the Las Vegas Raiders to wrap up Week 1 of the preseason.

But even without Jacobs on the field this Sunday, the story of the night was still Las Vegas' running back rotation. The story of last week's Hall of Fame game was the relatively high usage of running backJosh Jacobsin a situation in which starters are usually protected.

The Las Vegas Raiders defeated the Minnesota Vikings 26-20 in their first 2022 preseason game action inside Allegiant Stadium. Sunday's game was the first time ...

While there's a healthy competition in the room "we're all working hard to improve everyday," Stidham said. It's a dream come true," said Brown. "It's something I've wanted to do for awhile now. "I feel really good," Mullens said following the victory. … That is the best atmosphere in a preseason game that I've ever been a part of. The unit compiled 300 total yards of offense, and had eight more minutes in time of possession over the Vikings. The Las Vegas Raiders defeated the Minnesota Vikings 26-20 in their first 2022 preseason game action inside Allegiant Stadium. Sunday's game was the first time many of the Raiders' new players been inside their new home stadium with a crowd surrounding them.

The Raiders started hot and held on to beat the Vikings at Allegiant Stadium. Which players impacted the game the most for Las Vegas?

He allowed WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette to cross his face inside for a 22-yard gain in the second quarter, and he followed that up with a holding penalty. In the second quarter, the Raiders started playing some of their reserves at defensive tackle, and the Vikings began to pick up yardage in chunks. But the Raiders are scrambling for answers at right tackle. Raiders WR D.J. Turner added some juice to this preseason affair with a lightning-fast 35-yard catch and run for a touchdown in the third quarter. Mainly, this game was a reminder that the Raiders’ situation at defensive tackle is somewhat unknown behind projected starters, Johnathan Hankins and Bilal Nichols, who are both still on the PUP list. He’s reportedly done so in practice, but he had a subpar day on Sunday at Allegiant. It was an uneven day for the Raiders special teams. His solid performance keeps him in the No. 2 spot, despite Mullens having a great day himself, completing 7-of-9 passes for 94 yards and a touchdown through the air. Also for the second-straight week, he had a rushing touchdown. What’s more, expected special teams standout Mack Hollins hustled all the way downfield and made the tackle. Turner had three total catches for 58 yards, and he added a 26-yard punt return. But McDaniels clearly has a lot of work to do.

Jarrett Stidham, Nick Mullens helm Las Vegas' 26-20 victory over the Vikings.

Stidham ran 4 yards for a touchdown as Las Vegas took a 10-0 lead with 14:52 left in the first half. Mullens threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver DJ Turner as Las Vegas took a 16-6 lead with 9:12 left in the third quarter. Carlson made two extra-point attempts, too, but he missed wide-left after the Raiders’ second touchdown. For the second game in a row, Stidham ran for a touchdown. Mullens opened the second half by leading touchdown drives of 79 and 60 yards. Against the Vikings, the former Auburn signal-caller scored on a 4-yard scramble as Las Vegas took a 10-0 lead with 14:52 left in the first half.

LAS VEGAS — Vikings football is back, even if Sunday's 2022 preseason-opening 26-20 loss against the Raiders was more about evaluating backups than anything ...

The illegal substitution gave the Raiders a new set of downs. Phillips had described his love for the preseason on Friday. Mond led the Vikings on a 12-play, 79-yard drive that ended with a 23-yard field goal. Armon Watts recorded the other sack for Minnesota. Phillips called tails successfully, and the Vikings opted to receive. Mond later made the most of two trips to the end zone.

On the first play of the second quarter. Stidham not only stepped into the pocket, but he kept on stepping, taking the open field without hesitation to run it in for the touchdown. The rush came around both sides with tackles Jermaine Eluemunor and Thayer Munford blocking them enough to give Stidham a pocket to move into.

Looking at Raiders' preseason game No. 2 vs. Vikings at Allegiant Stadium as the offensive line continued fight for jobs, plus Derek Carr's rank in NFL Top ...

The next ones will be by Aug. 23 (with rosters trimmed to 80). “We allow these opportunities to be determined by what we see and how they perform in practice,” he said. “We felt like there’s been a lot of healthy competition in practice and last week we started a certain group against Jacksonville. We felt like practice this week pushed that competition even further and wanted to go ahead and give a few other opportunities today and I thought we did that by moving some guys in and out inside and starting there at the right side. “The competition is real. Then again, Carr has always had a quick release so he may be able to overcome a lot of the potential issues in pass protection. Sunday’s players included those ranked 51 to 100. For a young guy, (Thayer Munford has) done a nice job for himself and earned the opportunity that he had today. Carr wasn’t the only Raiders to be named to the Top 100. In 2017, Carr was No. 11 after leading the Raiders to a 12-4 record. McDaniels said there is time for the Raiders to find the right starting combo and is looking forward to seeing how the competition plays out. He provided protection on the opening drive for the Raiders in the second half that led to a touchdown pass by Nick Mullens to D.J. Turner. The Raiders continued to work to find the right mix along the line in a 26-20 preseason win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium. And the coach came away with some positives.

Once again, Las Vegas Raiders starting quarterback Derek Carr did not play in this game. On the sideline with him were other stars.

With just three passing attempts in the game, he would have two completions, including a nice catch by Turner over the middle of the field. As mentioned, Stidham played the entire first half and was able to keep the ball moving for the most part. He looks the part of a backup quarterback. On a fifteen-play first drive, he did a good job of delivering the ball on time despite being under some considerable pressure. On his first drive, he made several easy throws as the Raiders looked to make things easy on their back-ups. As such, this became a showcase for the reserves who are still looking to earn a shot.

Minnesota Vikings football is back. The Vikings are in Las Vegas to take on the Raiders in their first preseason game of the 2022 campaign.

12:47: Mannion and the Vikings pick up a first down, then stall out and punt. With Cousins not making the trip after testing positive for COVID-19, the Vikings will have just two quarterbacks during this game. It's Kevin O'Connell's NFL debut as a head coach and the first game in the careers of rookies like Lewis Cine, Andrew Booth Jr., and Ed Ingram.

Raiders overcome high snap that resulted in a loss of 19 yards. Raiders with another long drive while getting their lead back up to 10 points. Vikings fall to 0-1 but did some good things on both sides of the ball. Brown punched it in from a yard out several plays later as the Raiders went back up by two possessions. After a stellar preseason debut against the Jaguars in the Hall of Fame Game (Vegas rushed for 159 yards and three scores on 33 carries in that contest), the Raiders weren't quite as effective on Sunday, gaining 140 yards and two scores while averaging 3.6 yards an attempt. McDaniels and the Vikings' Kevin O'Connell -- the new head coaches this season for each team -- decided to roll the dice on fourth downs. Despite Cole's booming punt, the Vikings overcome the poor field position with a 79-yard scoring drive. Minnesota rumbled for 115 yards on 22 carries for an average of 5.2 yards per attempt. Mond's case would be even stronger had he not missed an open Trishton Jackson in the end zone on the Vikings' final drive of the first half. Las Vegas received solid play from Stidham and fellow backup quarterback Nick Mullens, who were a combined 17 of 24 for 162 yards and two touchdowns. After a shaky start, Mond engineered three scoring drives that included two touchdown passes to Albert Wilson. The Vikings' defense was led by defensive tackle T.Y. McGill, who had half of Minnesota's four sacks. The Raiders scored on their first two drives and took a 10-0 lead on Jarrett Stidham's four-yard run to open the second quarter.

The annual countdown of the greatest players in the NFL today has begun.

However, the league gave a sneak peek by revealing QB1's rank during halftime of the Raiders-Vikings preseason game. Joining Carr are edge rushers Chandler Jones and Maxx Crosby, ranked at Nos. 62 and 59, respectively. On Sunday evening, NFL Network revealed the first half of its The Top 100 Players of 2022 list – voted on by current players.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has once again gained the respect of its peers in this year's Top 100 list.

His fumbles were once again a problem, putting the ball on the ground 13 times. Carr had a career-high 4804 yards passing last season while throwing 23 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. While adding a weapon like DaVante Adams certainly helps with his prospects for 2022.

Sunday's preseason matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and Minnesota Vikings was the Raiders' first home game of the preseason.

"It was amazing; the atmosphere was crazy," Harmon said. "It was energetic," Johnson said. So today was the first time and it was great." "How packed it was; I was very surprised. But it was very fun and the fans gave us a lot of energy." Amazing stadium, amazing fans, so it was just fun.

A few standouts from the Silver and Black in both directions from their second preseason game.

Robertson didn’t play in the Hall of Fame game so this weekend was his 2022 preseason debut, and he allowed two catches on three targets for 32 yards in addition to getting flagged for defensive holding. As mentioned above, Walter had a strong performance and Brittain Brown stood out as well with 14 carries for 54 yards and scored one of the team’s two rushing touchdowns. Struggling to make plays in the open field was a big reason why he got benched last season, and seeing him whiff in his first game back isn’t exactly a comforting sight. Of his 30 total yards, 24 came after contact and he forced two missed tackles, bringing his preseason totals up to 54 and four which is impressive considering the Raiders have a crowded backfield and he’s only had 15 carries. The Ohio State product made the most of the opportunity as well. Butler was a big reason why Minnesota averaged 5.2 yards per carry as he struggled to hold his ground against the run, creating wide rushing lanes for the backs to exploit. After logging just one tackle and one pressure on 16 snaps against the Jaguars, he managed to come up with nothing — no tackles or pressures — in 19 reps against the Vikings. Beat writers, the coaching staff and other players have all been singing his praises, so it seemed like he had turned the corner. Those are the types of plays that will stand out in McDaniels’ system that likes to use a lot of short to intermediate passes. But it’s not just that the seven-year veteran isn’t showing up on the stat sheet, he’s also not pulling his weight on the underappreciated parts of the game too. To me, Turner was the Raiders' biggest winner from the afternoon. The Las Vegas Raiders are two games into the Josh McDaniels’ era and so far, there has been very little to complain about.

Johnathan Hankins and Bilal Nichols have been on PUP all camp and still no word on when they might return.

Sometimes you feel good one day and not as good the next. “We’ll kind of gauge that as we go here in the next so many days. There was a near complete overhaul of the interior defensive line by the Raiders this offseason.

The second-team offensive line came in and dominated the Raiders. They showed much more energy. All five starters played in the game for two drives. He also struggled at the beginning but played really well in the second half. He also missed a tackle in the second quarter. He also overthrew a Vikings receiver on a fade route in the corner of the end zone by a wide margin. The veteran missed multiple throws playing with the starters in the first quarter, had two tipped passes, and Raiders linebacker Jayon Brown dropped an easy interception.

The depth at tailback is a good one for the Raiders as Josh Jacobs, Ameer Abdullah and Brandon Bolden didn’t play against Minny.

Leatherwood started the Hall of Fame Game and then, a week later, Munford is manning the right tackle spot. “Again, for a young guy he’s (Thayer Munford) really done a nice job for himself and earned the opportunity that he had today.
