The Las Vegas Raiders appear to have the best combination of WR1 (Davante Adams), WR2 (Hunter Renfrow), and TE (Darren Waller) in the AFC West, pointing to an exciting 2022 season. QB Derek Carr has never been an impact fantasy quarterback, but he now has the tools to shine. The Raiders would love for RB Josh Jacobs to add more explosiveness to his game to help score in the red zone, but he could be playing for his next contract with another team. Las Vegas may have the longest odds to win their division at SI Sportsbook, but they have the talent to be the best team.
OFFENSE
The Raiders had almost the season run/pass split (39.7/60.3) as the Chiefs in 2021, but they scored 20 fewer touchdowns (37). The addition of Davante Adams improves their scoring and how defenses will play against Las Vegas. This year, they should have more success in the passing game and growth expected running the ball in the red zone.
