STACKED’s take
Laube's 95-yard kickoff return TD leads NFL in return average at 34.1 yards
Reserve running back and top-flight return man recorded a 95-yard kickoff return touchdown in Week 8 against the Jets, becoming the first Raider to return a kickoff for a touchdown since Jacoby Ford in 2011 and the first return man in the NFL to score on a kickoff in 2026. The 27-year-old sixth-round pick from the 2024 draft was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week after returning 3 kickoffs for 144 yards (48.0 average) in the game. On the season, Laube leads the NFL with a 34.1 yards per return average (15 returns for 579 yards, long of 95). Head coach Klint Kubiak praised his versatility: "He's back home, you know, a lot of family here, so it was cool for him to have that moment. Dylan is a stud player for us. He continues to make plays, and as you continue to make plays the expectations continue to rise and he's earned that." The 5-foot-9, 204-pound New Hampshire product also nearly blocked a Jets field goal attempt and made an impact tackle during a kick return.
