4 Carolina Panthers the Las Vegas Raiders should worry about in Week 1
By Brad Weiss
The Carolina Panthers have solid talent on both sides of the ball, and here are four players the Raiders should be worried about on Sunday.
The 2020 NFL season is officially here, and in a matter of days, the Las Vegas Raiders will travel East to take on the Carolina Panthers. Both teams failed to make the playoffs in 2019, and are looking to rebound, making Sunday’s matchup an exciting one for both franchises.
With that said, let us take a look at four members of the Panthers football team that should worry the Raiders on Sunday.
No. 4 Robby Anderson, Wide Receiver
One of the key pickups on the offensive side of the ball this offseason for the Panthers was former New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson. During his time in New York, Anderson emerged as the team’s No. 1 wide receiver, though in Carolina, he will play second-fiddle to D.J. Moore in terms of the depth chart.
That means that rookie Damon Arnette should draw this assignment, and that can be a tough one for a kid making his NFL debut. Arnette has looked all the bit the part of a starting cornerback this summer, and we will get to see early whether or not he has the coverage skills, and speed to hang with a deep threat like Anderson.
