Las Vegas Raiders at Cleveland Browns: 3 players to watch in Week 8
Trayvon Mullen
The Las Vegas Raiders have not had much to write home about on the defensive side of the ball this season, as they have struggled on all three levels. However, there have been some bright spots, including cornerback Trayvon Mullen, who has followed up a solid rookie season by showing he is a legitimate CB1.
Mullen will likely draw Browns star wide receiver Jarvis Landry in this one, especially with Odell Beckham Jr. going down with a torn ACL this past weekend. Landry, when he is a No. 1 guy, is one of the better wide receivers in football, so this will be another chance for Mullen to prove he belongs in the conversation of being one of the best corners in football.
Cleveland has the talent on offense to give this Raiders team fits, as even though they will be without OBJ and Nick Chubb, they still have Landry and Kareem Hunt to fill in the void. Mullen keeping Landry at bay all game long will go a long way in the Raiders coming away with a victory as the underdog.
