Dylan Laube

Antonio Pierce praised rookie RB Dylan Laube’s blitz pick-ups, pass-catching talents and overall consistency in practice.

The comments come as Laube competes for the Raiders’ primary passing-down-back and kickoff-returner roles. The former New Hampshire running back dominated FCS defenders both in the receiving and return games. He led the position in targets (88), receptions (68), receiving yards (708) and receiving touchdowns (seven) while also ranking No. 1 overall among FCS returners (min. 25 total returns) by averaging 33.9 yards and 0.7 missed tackles forced on kickoff returns. He is quietly in play as a late-round PPR sleeper.
