There’s always a limelight on the first-round pick going into a team’s home opener, but that will be especially true at 1:05 p.m. Sunday afternoon at Allegiant Stadium when Las Vegas hosts the Carolina Panthers.

Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce knew the moment he first saw Brock Bowers that the rookie tight end the 'it' factor.

As expected, Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker have been far and away WR2 and WR3. Both players took over 60% of their snaps from the outside in 2023, but Hunter Renfrow’s departure opened up space in the slot. They’ve opted to keep Tucker and his elite speed on the outside, moving Meyers to play a majority in the slot.
