3. Tyrell Williams

The biggest signing of the Raiders offseason was no doubt the trade for Antonio Brown, who instantly become the best wide receiver Derek Carr has ever had. However, the signing of Tyrell Williams should not be overlooked, as he has the ability to take the lid off a defense at any time.

In fact, Williams is one of the better big-play wide receivers in the game, and with Brown on the other side of him, he could easily go for over 1,000 yards this season. He is a guy who will definitely fill in a role on anyone’s fantasy football team this season, as he could go off at any moment within this Raiders offense.

Carr and Williams already look comfortable with each other, as Carr hit him a bunch of times deep during OTAs and minicamp. Brown is certainly going to get his, but if the protection is there for Carr, the duo of Brown and Williams could be as productive as Jerry Rice and Tim Brown were back in the early 2000s.
