Darren Waller will finally bounce back

Darren Waller had a great start to the season but has since fallen back a bit. This is going to be his big comeback week. As much as it would be nice to not have to pass the ball Sunday, there is going to come a time where Derek Carr and the receivers are going to need to drive downfield and get a score, and without Hunter Renfrow, who is going to step up?

Darren Waller is going to get opportunities all over the field this weekend, especially lined up in the slot. The last time the Raiders played the Chiefs, Waller recorded six catches for 63 yards. I would expect something similar to that, but with a couple of clutch moments and a touchdown, as well.

Waller is one of the building blocks for this Raiders franchise, so putting together solid games against such a division rival is paramount. Look for the Raiders to pound the ball inside with Jacobs, and once the defense comes up, Carr will go to his playaction passing game, hitting Waller wide open all day long.
