Las Vegas Raiders vs Cardinals Week 2: 3 Bold Predictions

Hunter Renfrow has 10 receptions and a touchdown

Las Vegas crowded receiving room of talent likely means that someone will see a dip in targets week-to-week, but Renfrow’s six targets against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1 left more to be desired. Renfrow has built a reputation for himself as being as trustworthy of a target as one can be, and his synergy with Carr speaks for himself. Don’t be surprised to see that chemistry back on display against Arizona.

The Cardinals may have finished top-10 last season in completions per game surrendered to opponents (21.9), but good luck covering Adams, Renfrow, and Darren Waller consistently every player.

After Carr targeted Adams a team-high 17 times in Week 1, we’re expecting him to spread the ball more evenly on Sunday.

That means going back to his bread-and-butter and looking Renfrow’s way from the get-go. Renfrow averaged close to eight targets per game last season and his season-high in receptions a year ago was in Week 14, when he caught 13 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown. On Sunday, we’re setting the mark at 10 catches and a touchdown for Renfrow.
