Raiders week 4 snap counts vs Chargers: Bryan Edwards leads WR in snaps, last in receiving

With 4:48 left in the fourth quarter, on third and five, Bryan Edwards caught a pass for four yards. When he made the catch, one might have wondered ‘where’s Edwards been?’ The answer might surprise you — he was on the field. Like basically the whole time.

Edwards got the start and his 51 snaps led all Raiders wide receivers (89%). He had just one target in the first three-quarters of play. And that four-yard catch would be his only catch of the game, finished seventh on the team in receiving. Even Willie Snead (15 yards) and Zay Jones (five yards) outgained him despite playing just five and eight snaps respectively.

I am not placing the blame solely on Edwards. There are often plenty of extenuating circumstances that lead to this lack of production despite extensive playing time. Just last week he led the Raider in receiving yards (89) in a win over the Dolphins. Making his near-disappearance in this game all the more strange.

Raiders Week 3 snap counts vs Dolphins: Johnathan Abram stands alone

Raiders week 3 snap counts vs Dolphins: Johnathan Abram stands alone among defenders

And then there was one. In week one the Raiders had three defenders who played every snap — S Johnathan Abram, CB Trayvon Mullen, and CB Tre’von Moehrig. After week two, that list dwindled to Abram and Moehrig with Mullen missing 13 snaps. Today that list has just one name on it — Johnathan Abram.

Moehrig and Mullen were both injured on the same play in the game, were slow to get up, and ultimately walked off under their own power. Moehrig hurt his ankle and Mullen his shoulder. Moehrig missed six snaps and Mullen missed 11 snaps. Casey Hayward has missed at least one snap in each game and a total of 15 snaps.

Abram is a perfect 207 for 207 on defense and has added 53 snaps on special teams. Sunday he led the team, playing nearly 100 snaps in total (99) and his combined 260 snaps this season also leads the team.

The third-year former first round pick has not missed a snap through three games. He is currently second on the team with 25 combined tackles (14 solo). Only LB Denzel Perryman has more (36). The next closest DB to Abram’s tackle numbers in Trayvon Mullen with 16.

Several players on offense have not missed a snap including QB Derek Carr, QB John Simpson, and C Andre James. Though at this point Andre Jame has literally *missed* a few snaps, including one Sunday against the Dolphins that was too high for Carr to handle, resulting in a fumble.

Raiders Week 14 snap counts vs. Titans: How shakeup at WR worked out

The Raiders changed things up at wide receiver, but the impact was minimal.

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.
