Raiders Week 9 outlook
The Raiders are 4-4 and riding a one-game winning streak after a 33-30 win over Buffalo, following shootout results against the Rams and Jets. Points for and against are nearly even at 221-230, reflecting a team that can score but still gives up points. Next up is a road trip to San Francisco, where the market gives Las Vegas just a 19.2 percent win chance.
Kirk Cousins projects for 19.0 fantasy points against a 49ers defense ranked 9th-easiest versus quarterbacks. Brock Bowers, also projected at 16.5 points, gets the same favorable matchup rank at tight end. Tre Tucker's 11.5-point projection comes against a defense ranked 10th-easiest versus receivers. Ashton Jeanty faces tougher sledding, with San Francisco ranked 22nd-easiest against running backs, capping his projection at 13.0.
Injuries complicate the picture. TE Carter Runyon (foot) and DE Patrick Johnson (stinger) are both out. WR Jack Bech (forearm) and OG Jackson Powers-Johnson (back) are questionable, with the line situation worth watching given its impact on Cousins' protection and Jeanty's lanes.

Raiders cornerback Darien Porter is questionable for Sunday's matchup at San Francisco after hurting his groin on the game's opening defensive snap, according to coach Klint Kubiak. As a starter in the secondary, his availability will be worth monitoring as Las Vegas finalizes its defensive plans for the 49ers matchup.
