Winners and losers for Raiders in Week 7 vs. Buccaneers

Raiders Wire looks at the WInners and Losers from Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Winner: WR Nelson Agholor

Nelson Agholor did not come into this season with a ton of hype after two down seasons in Philadelphia. That has changed this season, and he has become a nice deep threat for the offense and continues to make play after play every week.

Did Agholor struggle late? Yes, but that does not take away from his 5 receptions and 107 yards on the day. He was able to beat these receivers deep and get separation and helped the Raiders attack the Bucs defense’s weakness, which is the middle of the field. Agholor has a great connection with Carr, and it continues to grow every week.

The drops late kept this from being a bigger day for Agholor, and he has to clean that up going forward to be a force in this offense. He has still been a pleasant surprise for a beat-up receiving core that has dealt with injuries all season.
