Raiders signing WR Justin Shorter off practice squad to replace Amari Cooper on 53-man roster

The Raiders are signing WR Justin Shorter off their practice squad. He replaces the retired Amari Cooper on the 53.

Fantasy Impact:

Shorter just converted from TE to WR this season, so we wouldn't expect him to make enough of an impact to be fantasy-relevant. If anything, the trade-off from Cooper to Shorter should solidify the roles of the young options in Las Vegas.

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.

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Raiders signing WR Amari Cooper

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

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers requests trade

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

Fantasy Impact:

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.
