The Oakland Raiders, to some extent, are playing better than many would have expected coming into this season. Heading into their Week 6 bye, they sit above the .500 mark at 3-2.
But despite the team coming together, the early-season consistency of Jon Gruden, and a breakout rookie season from Josh Jacobs, the team still has a glaring area of weakness if they want to make the leap from middling team to playoff contender.
It doesn’t take an expert to see it; the Raiders have an issue in wide receiver depth.
That isn’t at all a surprise given the late preseason shenanigans of Antonio Brown and a slew of injuries that have completely dismantled a somewhat promising receiving corps.
