Fantasy football frenzy is back, and drafts have begun to get underway as Week 1 of the NFL regular season is not far away.

For those who are still waiting to make their selections, however, or are looking for some early trades, there are a number of Las Vegas Raiders who could make a strong impact in your lineup this season.

Josh Jacobs, Running Back

Josh Jacobs would normally be an easy pick as a starting quarterback, but fantasy owners are likely hesitant to make a move at this time, considering the questions around when the reigning NFL rushing champion's season will begin.

If you're looking to take the risk, though, there comes a big reward, as Jacobs finished third among running backs in total PPR (point per reception) fantasy points (328.3) and points per game (19.3).

Jacobs was first in total standard points (275.3) and second in standard points per game (16.2).

Davante Adams, Wide Receiver

Davante Adams was one of the best at his position in fantasy football last season as well.

The Raiders wideout finished his first season with the Silver and Black third in total PPR points among league wide receivers (335.5) and sixth in points per game (19.7).

Adams also was second in total standard points among receivers (235.5) and third in standard points per game (13.9).

Jimmy Garoppolo, Quarterback

Jimmy Garoppolo's 2022 season ended early when he broke his foot in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins.

Garoppolo  averaged only 15 PPR and standard fantasy points per game, but that could certainly change with his new system that includes great receivers Adams, Jakobi Meyers and Hunter Renfrow.

Jakobi Meyers, Wide Receiver

Jakobi Meyers floated around the top-30 wide receivers mark in fantasy football last season.

Meyers totaled 180.3 PPR points (29th) and 113.3 standard points (32nd), while also having averaged 12.9 PPR points (30th) and 8.1 standard points (29th).

Depending on how large your league is, Meyers could be a great fit at a FLEX spot or a third wide receiver.

Hunter Renfrow, Wide Receiver

Following his Pro-Bowl 2021 campaign, Renfrow missed much the 2022 season due to injuries, seeing action in only 10 games and making one start.

In those games, Renfrow averaged a mere 7.9 PPR points per game and 4.3 standard points per game.

Should Renfrow bounce back with a healthy season, he would be a solid option to add on waivers if you end up with a void in your lineup.

The Silver and Black return to preseason action when they play the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 26, at 8 p.m. EDT/5 p.m. PDT.
