The Las Vegas Raiders were unable to get a Week 1 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. However, that does not mean they didn’t have a few players stand out.
One of those players is Maxx Crosby, who continued to torment the Chargers. According to Pro Football Focus, Crosby was the team’s highest-graded player in Week 1 after totaling seven pressures, five hits and two quarterback hurries. He was completely dominant despite not registering a sack.
So who else graded well for the Raiders in Week 1? Here are the five highest-graded players for the Raiders against the Chargers.
5 highest-graded players for the #Raiders in Week 1 per @PFF:
1. DE Maxx Crosby (92.9)
2. WR Davante Adams (88.3)
3. CB Nate Hobbs (83.8)
4. RG Dylan Parham (82.3)
5. DT Andrew Billings (78.0)— Marcus Mosher (@Marcus_Mosher) September 12, 2022
It’s not a surprise that Davante Adams graded so highly after totaling over 140 receiving yards and a touchdown. Seeing Nate Hobbs on the list isn’t shocking either as he played a fantastic game against Mike Williams and Keenan Allen.
It’s also nice to see rookie offensive lineman Dylan Parham on this list. He did not allow a single pressure on 35 total offensive snaps as he played right guard in this contest. He could wind up being a starter for the Raiders sooner rather than later.
