Ranking the 5 best Raiders through the first quarter of the NFL season

The Las Vegas Raiders are only a few days away from taking on the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5. But before we get to that game, it’s time to take a look back through the first quarter of the season. Here the team’s top five players from the first four games of the year.

5. WR Hunter Renfrow

With all of the injuries the Raiders have suffered at receiver, it’s Hunter Renfrow who has stepped up in a big way to start the year. Through four games, he’s caught 16 passes for 199 yards and a touchdown. However, his impact has gone far beyond the box score.

Renfrow has drawn a few big defensive pass interference calls and has flipped the field on special teams with a 27-yard punt return earlier this year. He’s developed into one of the best slot receivers in the league and his efficiency has been through the roof.

It’s worth noting that through four weeks, Renfrow has graded-out as one of Pro Football Focus‘ top slot receivers in the NFL. He’s been fantastic to start the year for the Raiders.
