Las Vegas Raiders
The Las Vegas Raiders are definitely not having a great season so far, and have been struggling on both ends. Las Vegas fans had plenty of hope and promise for the team when the year started out, but soon the hopes died after the raiders put up abysmal performance after performance. While their offense could use plenty of work, Las Vegas has also been freakishly slow on the ground, and need to pull up their socks if they want to do well here.
Players to watch:
Gardner Minshew: 2,013 Yds, 9 TD, 10 INT
Alexander Mattison: 104 Car, 341 Yds, 3 TD
Brock Bowers: 90 Rec, 968 Yds, 4 TD
New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints had a tumultuous season as well, and did start off on the right note. Thus, head coach Dennis Allen was soon fired and replaced by Darren Rizzi, which was a great decision taken by the New Orleans’ management. While the team definitely did much better with Rizzi taking charge, the Saints have plenty more to do if they want to make it big in this NFL season, especially in terms of offense.
Players to watch:
Derek Carr: 2,145 Yds, 15 TD, 5 INT
Alvin Kamara: 228 Car, 950 Yds, 6 TD
Demario Davis: 51 Solo, 2 Sack, 0 FF, 1 INT
