Raiders wide receivers underperform in Week 1 win against Dolphins
Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders opened the 2026 season with a 27-13 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Despite the win, the wide receiver group struggled, contributing only nine catches for 83 yards and one touchdown. Tre Tucker led the receivers with 48 snaps and 27 yards, but the unit's production was below expectations, especially with tight end Brock Bowers sidelined. Jalen Nailor and Jack Bech also recorded catches, while rookie Malik Benson had minimal impact with just one reception. The Raiders will look to improve their wide receiver performance in their upcoming game against the Chargers.
