3. The Oakland Raiders

Projected wide receivers: Antonio Brown, Tyrell Williams, Hunter Renfrow, Ryan Grant, JJ Nelson, Keelan Doss

The Raiders made one of the biggest splashes in the NFL this offseason when they acquired All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown from the Pittsburgh Steelers. After a bizarre offseason, however, it is unclear how the Brown will perform with the team. That being said, there is plenty to be excited for if you are a Raiders fan. The offense will almost undoubtedly be better in 2019.

Brown is surrounded by questions entering the season but is widely regarded as one of the top weapons in football. If Derek Carr can get on the same page as Brown, the offense will immediately be a better unit this season.

Additionally, the Raiders brought in former Charger Tyrell Williams, who is a big-bodied receiver who can make contested catches. Hunter Renfrow has been getting time with the ones as the slot receiver in the offense. What kind of immediate impact he will have is unclear at this moment.

Both Ryan Grant and JJ Nelson are quick off of the ball and can make guys miss. Keelan Doss is a project but is a promising player for the future.

Projections: 

Antonio Brown: 89 receptions, 1,021 yards, 7 Touchdowns

Tyrell Williams: 49 receptions, 555 yards, 7 touchdowns

Hunter Renfrow: 37 receptions, 363 yards, 2 Touchdowns

Ryan Grant: 18 receptions, 224 yards, 0 Touchdowns

JJ Nelson: 15 receptions, 201 yards, 0 Touchdowns

Keelan Doss: 7 receptions, 152 yards, 1 Touchdown
