Fantasy Impact: The team will release Renfrow when the new league year begins. The veteran was set to count $13.7M against the cap, which was hard to justify considering two consecutive quiet seasons. The 28-year-old should have plenty of suitors in free agency.

Fantasy Impact: According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, a few teams are expected to be interested in the veteran QB.

Keep in mind that Garoppolo will also be suspended for the first two games of the 2024 season.

Fantasy Impact: The move will pair Josh Jacobs with Aaron Jones in the Packers’ backfield. This will definitely impact both of their fantasy values in 2024 as fantasy managers will likely have to wait to see how Matt LaFleur chooses to deploy both running backs.

Jakobi Meyers hauled in 3 of 5 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown, adding a five-yard touchdown run in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact: Meyers found the end zone both through the air and on the ground Sunday, giving him an even 10 total touchdowns across 16 games in his first season with the Raiders. The fifth-year WR was a solid complement to Davante Adams this season, as Meyers eclipsed 70 receptions and 800 yards.

Tre Tucker caught all five of his targets for 79 yards, adding 11 yards on one carry in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact: Tucker wrapped up his rookie season with new personal bests in reception and yards. His performance was highlighted by a 47-yard pass play - his third of at least that many yards this season. Obviously, Tucker has serious big-play ability. He caught just 19 passes across 16 games this season, but he averaged 17.4 yards per reception with a couple of touchdowns.

Zamir White rushed for 112 yards on 25 carries and caught one pass for nine yards in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact: White turned in another workhorse effort out of the Raiders' backfield Sunday afternoon, as he got 20-plus carries for the third consecutive week and rushed for more than 100 yards for the second time in that span. Since stepping into the lead-back role in place of Josh Jacobs (quad) back in Week 15, White has averaged 99.3 yards rushing per game at a 4.7 per-carry clip. White has proven he can get it done when called upon.

Fantasy Impact: Gentry, a fifth-year pro out of Michigan, is set to make his first appearance in 2023 and first NFL appearance with a team other than the Pittsburgh Steelers. With the Steelers, he started 25 games in the last two seasons and had 39 catches for 303 yards in four years. He'll serve as a depth option behind Michael Mayer and Austin Hooper to replace Jesper Horsted (IR).

Michael Mayer was sidelined from practice on Wednesday. (Source: Paul Gutierrez on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Mayer was sidelined this past Monday. If he remains sidelined this week, Austin Hooper would again be in a bigger role but not one that makes him fantasy relevant.

Brandon Bolden rushed for 25 yards and one touchdown on two carries during the Raiders' 63-21 win over the Chargers in Week 15. He was not targeted in the passing game.

Fantasy Impact: Bolden registered snaps as the Raiders' No. 3 running back with Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) inactive on Thursday. His first touch was shaky, going for a loss of one yard, but he got redemption by taking a direct snap, bouncing outside, turning the corner, and breaking free for a 26-yard touchdown. Despite the solid showing, he remains off the fantasy radar going forward.
