Silver Minings: Receivers need to do their part

The Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver group was pretty solid in 2023, led by starters Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers.

They provided a lot of receiving yards and big plays. But the unit, as a whole, also had some issues in the 2023 season as a recent tweet by NFL analyst Warren Sharp.

According to Sharp, the Raiders’ receivers accounted for 19 percent of all of the team’s incompletion based on errors. It was tied for the seventh highest rate of receiver error in the NFL.

Here is the complete list:
