Based on what CBS Sports thinks, the Las Vegas Raiders have one of the more unique duos in the league in 2023.
The Raider's offense was better than it was supposed to be last season, but they had the weapons to beat you on any given night; they just didn't. It won't make you feel as bad when you break down how many one-score games they lost.
Having the best football receiver on your team, Davante Adams is enough. Then you add in the fact that they had Josh Jacobs turn into the best running back in the league, and they were as diverse an offense as there was.
As we said, we know they weren't the best, but looking t what they still have helped be positive for the 2023 season. They do have one of the best duos in the league, and the most unique if you ask me, and CBS Sports.
Las Vegas Raiders — Josh Jacobs (RB) and Davante Adams (WR)
The Raiders have the league rushing champ and the most productive receiver in the NFL over the last half decade — in the same offense. Jacobs was the first player in franchise history to win rushing the title since Marcus Allen in 1985, rushing for 1,643 yards and 12 touchdowns — and his 2,053 total yards from scrimmage also led the league. He has three 1,000-yard campaigns in his four seasons, fourth in the league in rushing yards (4,740) and tied for third in rushing touchdowns (40). Adams has the most receptions (532), receiving yards (6,826), and most receiving touchdowns (62) in the NFL over the last five seasons, on pace for a Hall of Fame career. Making three straight First Team All-Pro honors, Adams had 100 catches for 1,516 yards and 14 touchdowns (league leader) in his first year with the Raiders. Jacobs and Adams are two of the best at their position, a dream tandem for any quarterback. Jeff Kerr, CBS Sports
There are fewer great wide receiver-running back duos in the league than others. The Raiders and the 49ers are two teams who have that. The Raiders may have the better duo and the best running back-wide receiver duo in the league.
Sure, Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey are great and versatile, but Adams is considered the best in the league at his position, and Jacobs just had the best season by any running back.
The Raiders will need to lean on this duo in 2023 if they want to see any success. Sure, that's an obvious statement, but with the quarterback situation, they need the two now more than ever.
Davante Adams has a different opinion on why the Raiders are struggling
We all know why the Las Vegas Raiders are struggling. Well, at least, we think we know why. If I was to do a survey and ask all Raiders fans what is wrong with the team, I think 90% of people would say Josh McDaniels, and the other 10% would say, Derek Carr. If you […]
