Trayvon Mullen

The Raiders secondary has been an area that opposing teams have looked to exploit, and there’s no reason why the Chargers won’t look to do the same.

Trayvon Mullen will have his hands full with Keenan Allen and Mike Williams lining up on the outside. Despite the Chargers firepower at wide receiver, Mullen has fared well during his last two starts as an outside corner.

Mullen is someone to watch with the Chargers passing threat coming in as the opposition as Phillip Rivers could look to take some chances against the rookie.

If Mullen can stack another quality performance it’ll help lift the weight off the defense’s shoulders as they still remain the weak link of the team through week 9.
