Darren Waller
The Raiders tight end has quickly become a focal point of the offense as he has caught 13 out of 15 targets for 133 yards. Darren Waller’s receptions and yards are already career highs, and this trend needs to continue in Week 3 for Oakland to put up points on Sunday.
Safety Harrison Smith presents an interesting challenge for the Raiders emerging star. Smith is widely regarded as one of the best safeties in the league and he doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Through two weeks, the former All-Pro has allowed a completion percentage of 40 percent and eight receiving yards.
Seeing as Waller is the second leading receiver for Oakland, expect Smith to follow the pass catcher just about everywhere he goes on Sunday. Winning this matchup will be key for the Raiders success, however, it is a very tall task.
