Which Oakland Raiders wide receivers should make the 53-man roster?
By Nick Ellis
Who makes it?
Out of the entire team, I believe six receivers will make the roster heading into Week 1; Antonio Brown, Tyrell Williams, Hunter Renfrow, JJ Nelson, Keelan Doss, and Dwayne Harris. The rest of the players have the skills to play in the NFL, but Doss has played too well to pass up on, Harris could change a game at any moment with his returning abilities, and JJ Nelson is a good mix of speed, athleticism, and veteran leadership that the Raiders could use.
This last week of preseason could change a lot, so every player that steps on the field will be sure to play as hard as they have all preseason to try and steal a spot on the roster. You can expect the coaching staff to get a long look at the young guys, as the veterans also try to hang on for one more week.

With the Raiders final preseason game slated to take place on Thursday, that means the organization only has a day and a half to cut this roster down from 90 to 53 by 4pm ET on Saturday. For the Raiders, they have a ton of tough decisions to make up and down the roster, but for once, wide receiver could be one of their deepest position groups, and it is going to be tough to cut some of these guys.
