WHAT TO WATCH FOR WEEK 2: Jeanty is 1 receiving TD away from tying the NFL record for most receiving TDs in 20 games
With one receiving TD, Ashton Jeanty would tie the record for the most receiving TDs (8) by a RB in their first 20 career games in the NFL since 1960
He would tie Gary Anderson (December 21, 1986), Kelvin Bryant (December 20, 1987), & Dan Reeves (December 11, 1966)

John Spytek & assistant GM Brian Stark share who impressed them the most this preseason
Raider Nation share your thoughts on who impressed you this preseason & why.
>Mike Washington Jr. being a real deal RB. He has the size & the feel for the game. Can't wait for us to use the two back system & keep defenses guessing. This guys an explosive downhill runner with jets. 23 rushing attempts for 168 yards, averaged 7.3 yards per attempt. Feels great that we don't necessarily have to rush Jeanty back & have a more than capable backup. The Raiders had a round 2 grade on MWJ in the draft & we just got a steal in the 4th.
>Treydan Stukes being able to line up in the box & center field while bringing the hammer. Solid wrap up tackler as well. Excited to see him grow & see how he's ultimately utilized on a per snap bases come the regular season. Isaiah Pola-Mao better watch out. I think its inevitable that Stukes eventually becomes the starter sooner rather than later, probably by mid-season. He'll be running with the first team defense in no time.
>Tyler Linderbaum's IQ is insane. Big time free agent signing for a reason. Though they played limited snaps, Tyler w/ our starting Oline gave us time in the pocket & provided us space to run. He'll be a key part of Kubiak's schematic attack & approach on offense. He checks off all the boxes with football intelligence & his mauler style of play. Seahawks with coach double K last year calling the plays were tied with the 3rd most rushing attempts in the NFL with 507 attempts & were also tied for the 10th most rushing yards 2,096 in the league. Get ready to pound the rock Jeanty & Washington because this guy Baum is going to clear lanes.

>Kirk Cousins' command & familiarity within Kubiak's system definitely can not go unnoticed. He was efficient when he played, made the right reads, & calls. The two times he started he helped march our offense down the field to put up points on the board. 110.2 passer rating, 13/17 passing (76.47%), 101 yards, & 1 touchdown.

>Fernando Mendoza's grit, toughness, & willingness to get better, stand tall, & learn from his mistakes. There was times when he took some really hard hits & responded the very next play without batting an eye. All the concerns about his arm strength should be completely dispelled. Wether we want to call it a cannon or a laser FM has it. He displays touch, accuracy, & velocity. Could somethings have been better, yes. We also can not ignore the WR drops. However, overall theres really a lot optimism to be excited about here with his potential. Let's give him the necessary time to really grasp the playbook, get his timing down with his receivers, & adjust to NFL's speed. One things forsure, he's definitely not gun-shy.
>Additional information on John Spytek naming Patrick Johnson the player that surprised him the most. The following article below talks about how Johnson was our highest graded player this preseason by pro football focus. I think we're all pretty excited & up to speed with the development of the youngster Tonka Hemingway. So if Spytek liked what he saw from the free agent Johnson in preseason, then it's no surprise that the PFF article below was published today 9/2/26. Veteran Patrick Johnson was signed on July 27, 2026 & made the 53 man roster.

These two genuinely hate one another. Haven't seen a rivalry this big filled with this much hatred since Jones vs DC
