2. Raiders’ Offensive MVP Will Be Darren Waller

For the Las Vegas Raiders to stay competitive in this game, the player to watch is Darren Waller, with the tight end being the receiving yardage leader for the Raiders through the first two games of the season. Waller had 18 reception in two games, with the tight end having 148 yards and one touchdown.

Waller has a chance to be special in this game because not only does Bill Belichick speak highly of the tight end, but Weller is averaging 74 yards per game receiving and he’s caught for 11 first downs combined in the first two games.

What to watch out for with Waller is his 8.2 yards per reception as a tight end, and he could be the reason the Raiders become 3-0 to start the season, but New England will have to find a way to slow him down.

The prediction for Waller in this game is eight receptions for 82 yards and two touchdowns.
