These Raiders must step up against the Titans in Week 3
Amik Robertson
Amik Robertson had a big day against the Arizona Cardinals, and he will look to build off his performance to help propel the defense into stopping Robert Woods and Treylon Burks in the passing game. Robertson allowed 45 yards on seven targets and one interception per PFF on Sunday, which are really good numbers to pair with up-and-coming star Nate Hobbs.
Robertson looks like a good slot corner while Hobbs on the outside looks like a good pair so far, but he will of course need to continue his success to further evaluate his status and impact on this defense in the long term.
Anthony Averett out with an injury gives Robertson the opportunity he needs to show Patrick Grham and the staff that he belongs on the field, The Titans will test him in the slot against there rookie receiver Burks, who has the size and speed to challenge him all game long. If Robertson can replicate his performance against the Cardinals, the Raiders should be in good shape against a sub-par Titans passing game.
