Carter Runyon Activated as Raiders Prioritize Multi-Tight End Formations

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Carter Runyon was active for the Week 11 Monday Night Football game, benefiting from the team's strategic shift towards multi-tight end sets against the Cowboys. The Raiders deviated from their usual approach, opting to dress four tight ends and only four wide receivers, which led to Runyon's elevation and wide receiver Alex Bachman being inactive. This move allowed the team to lean heavily into formations utilizing multiple tight ends, providing Runyon an opportunity within a larger, more versatile offensive scheme that also saw increased usage for Brock Bowers.
