Oakland Raiders: Predicting targets for stacked WR group

The Oakland Raiders have a stacked group of wide receivers with Jordy Nelson, Amari Cooper, and Martavis Bryant. How will targets be divided?

Over the past two seasons, Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has thrown 1,075 passes.

The Raiders made some wholesale changes to their offense this offseason, most notably the change of head coach with Jon Gruden coming out of retirement to sign a massive 10-year deal with the team he coached two decades ago.

In addition to the major coaching change, the Raiders took on a makeover at the wide receiver position, where they added Jordy Nelson and Martavis Bryant along with Ryan Switzer to compete with Amari Cooper, and subtracted Michael Crabtree.

With Crabtree now off to Baltimore and all of the new faces in this offense, how will Gruden and Carr divide the workload in the passing game?

Will the Raiders try to be more of an old-school team that uses the run to set up the pass, or is Gruden going to air it out?

The personnel dictates the latter.

Here’s how the Raiders’ passing targets could be divvied up between their stellar group of receivers, with a focus on the top three players at the position.
