The idea that the Las Vegas Raiders would trade wide receiver Jakobi Meyers lingered from when he asked for a trade late in the preseason all the way to when he was sent to the Jacksonville Jaguars at the trade deadline. With Meyers' departure, however, came greater opportunity for others.
In particular, Tre Tucker immediately became the proverbial WR1 for the Raiders. He had scored and/or topped 50 receiving yards in four of eight games with Meyers in the fold, and the rapport he built with Geno Smith going back to training camp had a chance to come to its fullest bloom.
