The Las Vegas Raiders have had one great showing and one bad three weeks into the season. As far as the good one, they were able to find something on offense against the Denver Broncos.
They only scored seven more points against their division rival than they did this last week, but the offense overall looked much better than it did in their loss on Sunday.
But there is something the offense has done in both games that may not be okay. In fact, it shouldn't continue to be a thing. Star receiver Hunter Renfrow has just one target in the last two games.
That is something that he cannot be happy about.
"I'm not sure," he said to media on Wednesday. "I'm just trying to do my job, to be honest. Yeah. And then just try to have a good week of practice, and hopefully, the ball finds me on Sundays. That's all I can do. It's frustrating when we're not doing what we need to do as an offense, and I feel like I can help some," he said. "But the frustrating part is not moving the ball down the field like we're capable of doing."
They are paying the man $32.3 million, and for what?
In Week 1, Renfrow played 22% of offensive snaps; this week, he played 65% of offensive snaps. Week 2 was much better, but there is no reason he should have gone through all of Week 1 without a target and then one target in garbage time against the Buffalo Bills.
He is a valuable player and one of the best route runners we have seen on this team in some time, yet he cannot get the ball thrown to him. If things don't change, the Raiders may want to think of trading Renfrow.
Hunter Renfrow’s future with the Raiders is murky at best
Renfrow could easily find himself on the outs when it comes to his career in Las Vegas.
