Raiders rookie wideouts to get a chance to prove themselves in Week 11

With the injuries last weekend to Jordy Nelson and Martavis Bryant, the Oakland Raiders were forced to make some serious changes at the wide receiver position heading into their Week 11 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. The team promoted Saeed Blacknall from the practice squad, and will move Marcell Ateman into a crucial role in the offense this weekend.

Ateman was the team’s seventh round draft pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, and has the size to be a real difference maker at the NFL level. He wowed coaches during the summer, but just recently was promoted to the roster, where he has yet to make his NFL debut.
