The Return of Richie Incognito
The Raiders have been without both of their starting guards for the first two weeks, but the Raiders regain one of them in Richie Incognito heading into Week 3. The Vikings have a powerful defensive line, and one of their best players, Everson Griffen, will be going head to head with Incognito in his first game back.
Without Incognito, the Raiders would not only struggle to protect Carr, but Josh Jacobs would be forced to run the opposite way of Griffen. If Incognito can play as well as he did with the Bills, the Raiders offense will improve a ton.
Incognito is a massive upgrade to the offensive line, and even though the Raiders looked like they had a strong offensive line in Week 1, the Chiefs got after Carr heavily in Week 2. The Vikings have a stronger defensive line than the Chiefs, so the return of Incognito is a key to victory this week.
