Tight End (3): Darren Waller, Foster Moreau, Derek Carrier

Darren Waller has been the surprise player for the Raiders during camp, as he has been showing off incredible speed, burning anyone who tries to cover him. He is also one of the better stories on this Raiders roster, as he has had to overcome a drug problem to be a lot of people’s sleeper pick in terms of fantasy production at the tight end position.

Foster Moreau was drafted by the Raiders this offseason in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, and he has impressed Gruden in camp. Moreau will be featured more as a blocking tight end, but he will develop some ball skills as well, and could end up being a steal in the fourth.

Derek Carrier beats out Luke Willson for the last spot at tight end, assuming the team does not carry four tight ends. Carrier did not even play in the last preseason game, giving the hint that he is making the roster, and he seems to be a favorite among the coaching staff as well.
