Every game gets a JustJ pick — ATS side and total. Posted numbers are used the moment books hang them; until then the pick is quoted on the JustJ line and refreshes each week.
Schedule & market notes
- Bye: Week 13 — a late bye — a long front half of the season before any scheduled rest.
- No Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Monday games on the slate — a full schedule of standard Sunday rest, which removes short-week variance as a factor this season.

Margin & schedule

- Totals: Kirk Cousins takes over under new HC Klint Kubiak; a voided trade kept Maxx Crosby in Las Vegas — a rebuilding team with one true differencemaker.
- Trend: The Raiders lost six defensive starters to free agency this offseason and replaced them largely with inexpensive veterans — real continuity risk on that side of the ball early in the season.

Power ratings & 2025 results
- 2025 record: 3-14-0 — Points For 241, Points Against 432 (differential -191).
- Margin of Victory: -11.2 pts/game — the average scoring margin across all 2025 games, win or lose.
- Strength of Schedule (SoS): +0.7 — Pro-Football-Reference's SRS-based measure of 2025 opponent quality; positive means a tougher slate than average.
- SRS (power rating): -10.5 — Simple Rating System score, which converts directly to a projected point spread on a neutral field against a leagueaverage team.
- Offensive SRS: -8.1 · Defensive SRS: -2.4 — the SRS power rating split into offensive and defensive components; higher offensive and higher defensive figures are both better.
- Turnover differential: -7 — total takeaways minus giveaways across the 2025 season, one of the more volatile year-to-year metrics and worth weighing against the rest of this profile rather than on its own.

Environment
- Home games: played under a fixed or retractable roof — every home date is a weather-neutral, full-strength fantasy environment for this offense.
- Road dome/retractable-roof games: ideal weather-neutral spots for maximum fantasy production: Wk 2 (Los Angeles Chargers), Wk 3 (New Orleans Saints), Wk 7 (Los Angeles Rams), Wk 17 (Arizona Cardinals).
- 2025 recap: Brock Bowers was a dominant fantasy TE despite the team's struggles, and Ashton Jeanty's rookie season showed real three-down flashes behind an inconsistent offensive line.
- 2026 projection: Bowers remains an elite TE1 lock regardless of QB play. Jeanty projects as a strong RB1 in Year 2. Kirk Cousins's arrival gives this offense a stable veteran presence, but the receiver room outside of Bowers lacks proven fantasy weapons.
- Brock Bowers: Pro: elite target volume, arguably the top fantasy TE regardless of QB situation. Con: minimal — an every-week must-start.
- Ashton Jeanty: Pro: real three-down role after a strong rookie debut. Con: offensive line and passing-game struggles could cap game-scriptdriven volume. A FC WE S T LAS VEGAS RAIDERS
