The Las Vegas Raiders fielded one of the worst offenses in the entire NFL last season as they ranked 29th in scoring offense and 27th in total yards. Much of their struggles were due to a lackluster rushing attack following the departure of All-Pro running back Josh Jacobs.
Las Vegas ranked just 28th in rushing touchdowns while finishing dead last in rushing yards. They made it clear that improving the running game was their main focus, as they signed 2023 rushing touchdown leader Raheem Mostert and drafted Heisman Trophy runner-up Ashton Jeanty.
While the Raiders' biggest splash came under center as they acquired two-time Pro Bowler Geno Smith, a recent prediction suggested that the two-time All-American rookie running back will be the franchise's X-factor in 2025.
