Dwayne Harris

Dwayne Harris is signed as a receiver but his primary job is returning kicks. Harris ran back 72 yards on a kick return and put the team in position to win. Harris is another player who is an x-factor and is a big factor in winning.

Not many people remember the 49ers back in 2012-2015 when they had zero offense but their kept winning games. That’s because they’d “field-position” you to death. Their defense would snuff you out, then the offense would get the ball at the 40 then they’d go 25 yards and get a field goal with a money kicker. Rinse and repeat.

They won games 6-0 and 9-3 constantly. Harris can be that for the Raiders this year.

Harris is decent as a receiver and he’s a depth position but special teams is where he shines. Harris can run fast and he knows where to look for holes on returns. With his help, the Raiders can be put in a position to win this game and have a short field to score with.

The Raiders can hopefully pull out another win and take command of the AFC West going into week 3 of the season.
