The Vegas Nation staff predicts whether Davante Adams will have another big day, along with picks on Derek Carr, Darren Waller, Russell Wilson and Javonte Williams.
The Raiders and Broncos play Sunday with expectations greatly reduced from preseason hype that speculated on whether they were part of the best division in NFL history.
Each of the Raiders’ three losses have come down to a key play near the end of the game, but they have had plenty of chances before those decisive moments.
Raiders center Andre James joked that he felt “stupid” after watching the clip of the play on which he suffered a concussion in Week 1 against the Chargers.
There have been plenty of laughs this week about the Miami Dolphins’ disastrous punt Sunday, but the moment wasn’t as frivolous for Raiders punter A.J. Cole.
For the third straight week, a Raiders starter, this time cornerback Nate Hobbs, has been placed in concussion protocol after taking a big hit.
Coach Josh McDaniels says the Raiders need to avoid those coin-flip moments at the end of games and make winning plays earlier.
A player-led discussion at halftime fueled the Raiders’ defense to a dominant second half against the Tennessee Titans, but the damage already had been done.
Raiders star receiver Davante Adams is getting the extra defensive attention to which he has grown accustomed, but he knows he still must find a way to get open.
The Raiders defense was torched early by the Tennessee Titans, and the offense couldn’t made plays when it had a chance to rally as the team fell to 0-3.
Josh Jacobs, the Raiders’ leading rusher, did not practice Thursday or Friday and wasn’t on the team plane when it departed for Nashville, Tennessee, on Friday afternoon.
The seven Raiders players who make more than $15 million a season will be expected to shoulder a heavy burden. That list starts with quarterback Derek Carr.
The Vegas Nation staff predicts whether Derrick Henry and Josh Jacobs will exceed their projections, along with picks on Davante Adams, Darren Waller and Ryan Tannehill.
