Top 10 Best Oakland Raiders Players Going Into the 2018 Season

High hopes brought Oakland to the sewers in 2017, with a dismal 6-10 season. Looking to get back on track, they brought in and got rid of key players. Who is the best player on their team currently? We’re looking at the top ten best Oakland Raiders players going into the 2018 season.
The Top Ten
1 Khalil Mack Khalil Mack is an American football outside linebacker for the Los Angeles Chargers of the National Football League.
2 Derek Carr Derek Dallas Carr is an American football quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders of the National Football League.
3 Marshawn Lynch Marshawn Terrell Lynch is an American football running back for the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League. He previously played for the Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks, winning one Super Bowl in Seattle. Lynch initially retired from professional football in 2016, but returned in 2017 to play for the Raiders.
4 Amari Cooper Amari Cooper is an American football wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League. Cooper was drafted 4th overall to the Oakland Raiders in 2015.

His production fell off a cliff in 2017. While catching 7 touchdowns, he had just 680 yards receiving. But now that he’s got a veteran presence around him, he can make the pro bowl again and get back into the 1,000 yard range.

5 Jordy Nelson Jordy Ray Nelson is a former American football wide receiver of the National Football League. Nelson was drafted in the 2nd round as the 36th overall pick to the Green Bay Packers in 2008.

It pains me to say it, but Jordy Nelson is a Raider. It’s there that he can mentor Amari Cooper and at the same time, get back into his 2016 form. He’ll have an increase in production in 2018 in Oakland.

6 Donald Penn

An o-lineman who’s caught 4 career touchdowns, Penn has been solid for years in protecting and scoring.

7 Derrick Johnson Derrick O’Hara Johnson is a former American football linebacker of the National Football League. Johnson was drafted 15th overall in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft, and spent 13 seasons with the Chiefs. He played his final season with the Oakland Raiders in 2018, before retiring.

Stealing from a rival! The hate is probably increasing every passing hour with Chiefs and Raiders fans. Derrick Johnson will produce in Oakland.

8 Tahir Whitehead Tahir Ali Whitehead is an American football linebacker for the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League.

A nice defensive addition who was a monster his last two seasons in Detroit.

9 Martavis Bryant Martavis Bryant is an American football wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League.
10 Bruce Irvin

In 16 starts, he had a career high 8 sacks in 2017. Can that last into this season. Will Irvin be the same player? The former first round pick can bring it for sure.
