Raiders at Dallas Cowboys: Studs and Duds from 2021 Week 12

Studs: DeSean Jackson and Hunter Renfrow

The speed element is back in Las Vegas in huge part to new Raider DeSean Jackson, who is showing at an older age that he still has it. In this one, both he and Hunter Renfrow dominated the passing game, both playing major roles in Thursday’s victory.

Renfrow and Jackson finished with over 100 yards receiving, as Jackson had 102, including a beautiful touchdown on the first drive. Renfrow caught eight balls, including multiple bombs downfield, finishing with a career-high 134 yards in the victory.

The Raiders receivers have overall struggled to make many impacts in most games this season, other than in fourth quarters and overtime, and it has been down since the release of Ruggs. In a game where Darren Waller was lost early on due to injury, Jackson and Renfrow proved their worth and more.
