Comeback no more: Raiders WR Amari Cooper has informed the team that he no longer has the desire to play and intends to retire, per The Insiders.

Cooper had signed at the end of camp in a hopeful reunion with the team that drafted. Now, he’s headed home from Las Vegas.

Well that was short-lived. Meyers should continue to be in WR2/3 consideration, while it's best to take a wait-and-see approach for the young receivers behind him.

The Raiders are signing free-agent receiver Amari Cooper to a one-year deal.

Cooper had interest from multiple teams, including the 49ers, but elects to sign with Las Vegas. With Meyers recently asking for a trade, it's hard to tell just how the Raiders WR room with shake out. Bech and Thornton look to be at the top, but both are rookies. Tucker should be a factor but doesn't have a lot of experiencer either. There looks to be a path for Cooper's fantasy value, especially if the Raiders do move on from Meyers at some point soon. Cooper is 31.

Due to an inability to agree to a contract extension with the Raiders, WR Jakobi Meyers has requested a trade, per source.

The post went on to say Meyers is going into the final year of his deal and is set to make a base salary of $10.5M in '25. This is certainly a situation to monitor as we head into the meat of draft season. Should Meyers get moved off the Raiders, rookies Bech and Thornton could very well be the team's top-two WRs with Tucker likely also in the mix behind TE Bowers. Thornton has turned more heads than Bech so far this summer, but Bech would likely have to have some role in the offense and does have more draft capital as well.

If Jakobi Meyers continues to work primarily from the slot during training camp, receivers who are more effective on the outside will have a leg up in the competition. As it stands, it’ll be a three-man race between Dont’e Thornton, Tre Tucker and Jack Bech. Thornton stood out the most among the group during OTAs. He’s just different physically — he’s 6 feet 4 and has blazing speed — and is working on the nuances of route running and increasing his knowledge of Chip Kelly’s scheme. Tucker was also ahead of Bech in the rotation and had his moments during OTAs.

The most interesting name in that group may be Bech, the rookie. So far reports about Bech haven't been great. While he's better in the slot, the story pointed out there is a logjam at that position, so Bech will need to learn to play on the outside. The story added Bech has some work to do to make up ground on Thornton and Tucker at this point.

Raiders HC Antonio Pierce said QB Aidan O'Connell (illness) and WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) are "full go," will practice today and are on track to play against the Bucs on Sunday. They didn't practice yesterday.

O'Connell can be left off starting lineups unless you're desperate for a QB streamer, but Meyers profiles as an intriguing low-end WR2 against a Buccaneers secondary that has allowed the league's highest schedule-adjusted fantasy points to the position.

The quarterback play has been terrible, and the Raiders are expected to make the change to Desmond Ridder after Gardner Minshew II was benched for a third time this season.

O'Connell is expected to miss 4-6 weeks and is on IR. He could return in December based on that timeline, but for Week 11, it looks like the Raiders are going with Ridder against the Dolphins. Ridder was just recently signed off the wire and made his debut in relief of Minshew when we last saw the Raiders in Week 9. Ridder likely won't make an impact as the starter, but the hope is the offense continues to target Bowers at TE and Meyers at WR so their fantasy stock remains steady.

Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) will not practice today, per Pierce...he'll be DOUBTFUL for Rams game.

Playing any fantasy assets outside of Brock Bowers is basically punting your lineup into the Fountains of Bellagio. Let your opponents start Tre Tucker this week.

The Raiders are completing a trade of star WR Davante Adams to the Jets, sources say.

This seemed like just a matter of time, and finally Adams is back with his good friend Rodgers. The deal was for a third round pick, according to other reports. Adams and Rodgers are very familiar with one another, and it should make for a smooth transition. It's possible Adams plays in Week 7. It's likely going to be a hit to Wilson's fantasy stock, just when Rodgers and Wilson were getting things going, too. There's a report also out today that Williams ran the wrong route in the MNF loss, and was called out by Rodgers after it resulted in an interception. The addition of Adams likely means Williams takes a big backseat in the offense, and it's even possible he gets moved before the deadline at this point. As for the Raiders, Bowers could be the focal point of this offense going forward as Meyers, Tucker and Turner battle it out to have fantasy relevance at WR. It may take some time for a pecking order to develop here, so anyone hurting for WR help can take a flier on at least Tucker and Turner, who may be on your wire.

Raiders WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is not expected to play this week vs. Steelers, per sources.

No surprise here, but at least we get the news early in the week. Meyers and Bowers look to benefit the most from Adams' absence (and eventual trade) and should be considered respective WR2 and TE1s.

The Raiders' preference as an organization is to get a Davante Adams trade done “sooner rather than later,” per multiple sources.

The Adams distraction is the last thing the team needs now as it continues to struggle. But, the post went on to say the Raiders aren’t going to do just any deal, and their preference has been not to take on any of the money remaining on Adams’ contract, according to Shultz's post. The post did say expect things to ramp up this week. The Raiders switched from Gardner Minshew to Aidan O'Connell against the Broncos, but it didn't lead to a spark on offense. Bowers may benefit the most with Adams no longer in the lineup and he posted an 8-97-1 line, followed by Meyers' 6-72-0 line. Tucker didn't have a great day, despite being a popular name on the waiver wire.
