Who is the Oakland Raiders’ fifth wide receiver? A trivial question, one might think, given that the Raiders had the sixth-rated offense in 2016, and are a team that is expected to have an even more potent offense this year.
The team boasts a powerful triple receiving threat in Amari Cooper, Michael Crabtree, and Seth Roberts and have added two new aerial assault weapons for Derek Carr in Jared Cook and Cordarrelle Patterson.
But this is football. Injuries happen, prized offseason additions can disappoint, and talented backups lie in wait for their chance to prove they belong in the league.
