Raiders RB Dylan Laube leads NFL in kickoff return average
Summary

As of October 28, 2026, Dylan Laube of the Las Vegas Raiders leads the NFL with an average of 31.1 yards per kickoff return, totaling 435 yards over 14 returns. This performance comes amid a difficult season for the Raiders, who are currently on a four-game losing streak. Laube, a sixth-round pick from New Hampshire in 2024, has consistently provided strong field position, including several returns over 40 yards. Raiders coach Klint Kubiak described Laube as an ascending player, suggesting he may see an increased role on offense. The team aims to snap a 15-year streak without a kickoff return touchdown, a milestone that Laube has yet to achieve.
