Last week, Raiders coach Jon Gruden said he would be shaking things up at wide receiver due to a lack of production at the position. The big move was to cut Trevor Davis, who the team had acquired in a midseason trade with the Packers. His absence, as well as that of the injured Hunter Renfrow, would open up opportunities for some of the young receivers on the team to step up.
Starting the game and leading the team in snaps were Tyrell Williams (52) and Zay Jones (53). Williams finished with three catches for 35 yards. Jones had just one catch for 5 yards on three targets.
Third in snaps behind Williams and Jones was Keelan Doss with 28 (44%). He hauled in three catches on three targets for 26 yards.
Getting the start along with Wiliams and Jones was Rico Gafford in his first game since being called up from the practice squad two weeks ago. The speedy receiver figured to take the snaps vacated by Trevor Davis. Gafford would play 12 snaps (9%) with one catch for a wide-open 49-yard touchdown.
Marcell Ateman saw two snaps (3%) to round out the unit.
The shakeup didn’t really change much. The Gafford touchdown catch was a nice moment, but outside of that, the group didn’t produce a whole lot. The rest of them had a combined seven catches for 66 yards.
