Receptions

Current Record: 104 (Tim Brown, 1997)

In the history of the Raiders franchise, only one player has ever eclipsed the 100-catch mark in a single-season. That man was Tim Brown, who was one of the greatest Raiders of all-time, and a Hall of Fame player during his time wearing the Silver and Black.

During the 1997 NFL season, Brown caught 104 catches on 162 targets, which was by far the most catches for the Raiders that year. Rickey Dudley, James Jett, and Napoleon Kaufman all had 40 or more catches, but Brown set the single-season record with his 104

On seven other occasions, players, including Brown a couple of times, got 90 or more catches, including Todd Christensen, who is No. 2 all-time with 95 catches during the 1986 season.

In 2019, the Raiders have a guy who is automatic when it comes to going over the 100-catch mark, as Antonio Brown has accomplished the feat for the last six straight seasons in a row. In fact, Brown had 104 catches last season in what he described as a “down year,” and in this offense, he should become the new single-season catch leader.
