Seth Roberts

Through the first four games of the season, the Raiders have gotten tremendous play from nearly all of their wide receivers. Jordy Nelson and Amari Cooper have had their fair share of big games, and Martavis Bryant has shown that ability to make the big play, serving as another weapon in the passing game.

Tight end Jared Cook is also having a monster season, but for one member of the receiving corps, it has been another disappointing start. Seth Roberts has not done much to help the Raiders win in 2018, and you have to think that he is going to start to be even less a part of the game plans moving forward.

Roberts was targeted only three times on Sunday, and has been targeted only seven times all season. The Raiders need to get something out of him, because as teams start to game plan against them, they are going to be focused on literally everyone else in the passing game.
