3 Denver Broncos the Las Vegas Raiders should worry about in Week 17
By Brad Weiss
The Las Vegas Raiders will look to move to .500 against the Denver Broncos in Week 17, and here are three Broncos they need to worry about.
The Las Vegas Raiders will battle it out with division rival Denver in Week 17, as they look to finish at .500 after a stellar 6-3 start to the 2020 season. While the Raiders should win this game, as they are the favorite, we have seen them completely collapse this season, the second year in a row they have done just that.
The Broncos will be looking to lock in another losing season for the Raiders, and here are three members of the team the Raiders need to worry about in Week 17.
Rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy
Led by second-year players in Johnathan Abram and Trayvon Mullen, the Raiders secondary will have some work to do in Week 17 against a tough wideout in rookie Jerry Jeudy. For those who do not remember, or fell off a cliff, Jeudy was one of the top wide receivers in the 2020 NFL Draft, and the Silver and Black passed on him for Alabama teammate Henry Ruggs III.
As a rookie, Jeudy has been more productive than Ruggs, posting twice the amount catches, and over 300 more yards. They both have two touchdowns, and Ruggs has a better yards-per-catch average, but Jeudy is more of a weapon in Denver’s offense and must be accounted for when the Broncos have the ball on Sunday.
