Las Vegas Raiders: An early look at the 2021 starting lineups

Special Teams and Analysis

The special teams group will look identical to last season now that Daniel Carlson has re-signed with Las Vegas. The return teams should look a bit different, with a bunch of draft picks likely filling in spots on the group.

Overall, Las Vegas made a lot of moves this offseason in the hopes that they will have better luck making the playoffs in 2021 than in 2020. Most of these moves came on the defensive side of the ball, which is where the team needed the most help.

Las Vegas Raiders Bryan Edwards named a Rookie of the Year sleeper

The Raiders got a steal in the third round in South Carolina wideout Bryan Edwards, and he was recently named a sleeper for Rookie of the Year honors.

If Las Vegas’ offense can remain a top ten offense in 2021 with their new offensive line, and if their defense can play at a top 15 level, then this team should be able to actually finish the season strong and make a solid push for the playoffs.
