Summary

The Raiders were a disaster last season and things don’t look much better heading into 2023. At quarterback, Derek Carr is gone and Jimmy Garoppolo is in. Garoppolo has familiarity with the offense due to his time playing under Josh McDaniels in New England several years back, but health and performance are concerns for the veteran quarterback. There are also concerns about running back Josh Jacobs who is currently holding out due to a contract dispute. That leaves last year’s fourth round pick Zamir White atop the depth chart for the time being. The wide receiver corps is led by a 31-year old Davante Adams who has shown signs of frustration with the organization during the offseason. He hasn’t finished outside the top-12 wide receivers in fantasy football since 2015 but things could get ugly if Garoppolo struggles or gets injured. Overall, the Raiders look to be in for another miserable season. The team is destined for last place in the AFC West and could be in the running for the No. 1 pick. Josh McDaniels may be unemployed by Christmas.

Overall Team Rank: 22nd
Projected AFC West Finish: 4th
