Tight End (3): Darren Waller, Foster Moreau, Luke Wilson

Darren Waller has been a pain for defensive backs and linebackers to cover in training camp, as he is the clear top tight end on the roster. Waller and Carr have created a great amount of chemistry and trust in each other, hopefully similar to what Carr and Jared Cook had last season.

Foster Moreau was drafted by the Raiders this off season, and is expected to be the best blocking tight end on the roster. He still needs some development, but he has a bright future with the team.

Luke Wilson will look to use his speed to help the Raiders passing game when Waller isn’t on the field, and his experience in the league should help the younger tight ends on the roster.
