The Las Vegas Raiders will take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 3, and here are three members of the Silver and Black to keep an eye on throughout.

Viva Las Vegas! It feels good to say this, especially when the newest team in Sin City is 2-0 going into Week 3. Not only are the Las Vegas Raiders back home this week, but back home vs the easiest opponent they have faced thus far in 2021.

The Miami Dolphins are a combination of bad and overachieving, the most notable being the latter, considering they actually have a number in the win column, a Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots. But that win was very circumstantial, considering it was the debut of a rookie quarterback in Mac Jones of the Patriots, as well as injuries to some of New England’s top players.

So far, the Dolphins not only have one of the worst defenses but also one of the worst offenses, and without their starting quarterback due to injury, the bad just got worse for the Fins.

With that being said, there are a few potential studs for the Silver and Black that you should keep an eye on, and who should thrive in what should be an easy contest this weekend in the desert.
