Top 10 Las Vegas Raiders Players Going Into the 2020 Season
The Raiders will move to Las Vegas in 2020. As weird as Las Vegas Raiders sounds, they are a dark horse candidate.
The team has some weapons, and there are no excuses not to make the playoffs. The Raiders have been irrelevant since 2002 and are looking to change that. I think it's possible, but we'll see.
-
Josh Jacobs
To me, their best is Josh Jacobs, a guy who put the league on notice last year with 1,150 yards and 7 touchdowns. He's a dangerous weapon with plenty of upside. Mike Mayock will have some fun with him, I can tell.
He's one of the elite running backs in the league and is sure to improve in the years to come.
-
Nick Kwiatkoski
Last year, he had a solid year and was one of the best on the Bears' defense. Chicago, you might have made a mistake letting him go. He'll contribute to a defense that looks sneakily good.
-
Nelson Agholor
Nelson Agholor is an American football wide receiver for the New England Patriots of the National Football League. He was drafted in the first round by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015. Agholor won Super Bowl LII with the Eagles before later signing with the Patriots.
I like this fit. He's a veteran receiver, and he'll help fill the Amari Cooper void. Sure, his numbers dipped last season, but he didn't play in as many games, and the entire team was banged up. He's still a solid weapon for Derek Carr to utilize.
-
Tyrell Williams
He actually had a productive season last year, with 651 yards and 6 touchdowns. He's a decent target, but nothing I'd consider elite. Rather, he's a serviceable option.
-
Hunter Renfrow
Here's a weapon that flies under the radar. Nobody really talks about him. Hunter Renfrow had a solid rookie season with 605 yards and 4 touchdowns. Not too bad at all, and he has the potential to grow even more.
-
Henry Ruggs III
This is their top draft selection, who has been hailed as a potential game-changer. He's the fastest guy in the draft and is now their Amari Cooper replacement. No need to remind you all about that AB experiment, right? I'm sure Mike Mayock will have some fun with this guy.
-
Cory Littleton
He was a solid player in LA last year, yet the Rams let him go for some reason. He'll fit in nicely here. With 135 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and 2 interceptions, his numbers are not too shabby. Why exactly did the Rams let him go again?
-
Rodney Hudson
He's been one of the best centers for the Raiders and has earned a few Pro Bowl bids these past few years. He's 31, so he still has some potential left.
-
Richie Incognito
Richard Dominik "Richie" Incognito Jr. is a former American football guard who played 16 seasons in the National Football League. He was a four-time Pro Bowl selection and played for teams including the St. Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, and Las Vegas Raiders. Incognito announced his retirement... read more
He pulled a bit of a surprise by joining the Raiders a few seasons ago, after many thought he was done. However, he's still doing well. He's a good lineman who's a veteran, and his presence could help those around him develop. Although he doesn't have the best personality, the Raiders have never cared about that.
-
Derek Carr
Derek Dallas Carr is the starting quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders in the NFL. Since being drafted in the second round in 2014, he has earned three Pro Bowl selections and has led the Raiders to multiple playoff appearances. Carr is known for his strong arm, leadership in the locker room, and consistent... read more
To me, Derek Carr is no different from Alex Smith. He's a serviceable veteran, but nothing beyond that. He had a decent 2016 season but then got injured. Since then, he hasn't been the same player. He's regressed, and while he has the skills, we need to see more. There's no reason he can't take this team to the playoffs.
