Former Raiders CB works out for the New York Giants
Sam Webb, former Raiders cornerback, works out for the Giants.
Fantasy football expert Scott Barrett believes the Raiders will improve significantly in 2026, attributing this to new head coach Klint Kubiak's offensive strategies. Kubiak's previous success with other teams suggests a potential turnaround for the Raiders' anemic offense.

The past few years the Raiders offense has been anemic to say the least. There have been a few exceptions like generational talent Brock Bowers and his record-breaking rookie season in 2024. But otherwise, most fantasy folks tended to steer clear of Raiders players. One fantasy football guru is saying that should change this year. And the reason points to one man -- Klint Kubiak.
Fantasy Points CEO Scott Barrett sees the Raiders new head coach as the key to unlocking the Raiders offense. He bases this on Kubiak's last couple stops and even the track record of Klint's father Gary.
As OC of the Seahawks, he guided Seattle to a Super Bowl title. The year prior, in New Orleans, Derek Carr had the two best games his entire career in terms of passer rating. And in ten games, Carr had five of the top 17 games of his career.
In San Francisco in 2023, with Kubiak as the pass game coordinator, the 49ers the offense put up nearly 400 yards per game (398.4) and was the highest the 49ers offense had been ranked since 1998.
Barrett goes further, and noted the incredible sustained success Klint's father Gary had with rushing attacks over his career.
All of this bodes well for both the pass game and the run game in Las Vegas this season. And it's hard to argue that the Raiders offensive playmakers like Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers should be drafted very high in your fantasy drafts.
