ESPN has ranked the Las Vegas Raiders' offensive playmakers 26th in the league entering the 2026 season. The evaluation highlights a young roster, including rookie players such as running back Ashton Jeanty and tight end Brock Bowers, who both have unproven track records. Bowers is anticipated to bounce back from injuries, while Jeanty seeks to improve after a disappointing first season. The wide receiver core, featuring Jalen Nailor and Tre Tucker, is considered among the least effective in the NFL. The Raiders are in need of both performance improvement and additional talent moving forward.
