With free agency a month away, it’s time to check in on the Raiders’ wide receiver position to give it a condition of either Strong, Stable, Unstable, Serious, or Critical.
Starters: Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker
Backups: Ramel Keyton, DJ Turner, Tyreik McAllister, Jeff Foreman, Kristian Wilkerson, Alex Bachman, Shedrick Jackson
Free agents: Terrace Marshall
This position looked like it was in good hands coming into last season. But three games in Davante Adams was already wanting out. Jakoby Meyers stepped up to be the team’s number one receiver, reaching 1000 yards for the first time in his career. But Tre Tucker never quite reached the ceiling they had hoped.
Condition: Critical
Should the Raiders manage to get their starting QB in free agency or via trade, they could turn to receiver atop the draft. Another option, of course, is to get that receiver in free agency. Though there aren’t a lot of good options there. Either way, they need a big X receiver to replace Adams. Meyers is a great receiver to have on the roster, but he is not a true number one who can help lift the play of whoever they get at QB.
