Wideout had a big game in Jacksonville on Sunday

While the Las Vegas Raiders play tonight on Monday Night Football, let’s check in on a few former Raiders after Sunday’s action in Week 15. Unfortunately, Derek Carr won’t be included this week as Carr was sidelined after suffering a hand injury and concussion in Week 14.

Davante Adams

  • Stats: 9 catches, 198 yards, 2 TDs
  • Game result: 32-25 Jets win

Not only did Adams have a monster performance, tearing apart the Jaguars’ secondary for the second-most receiving yards he’s had in a single game, but he also accomplished a career milestone with his 100th touchdown reception. That played a big part in the Jets’ win and while the game didn’t have any playoff implications, it does have side effects on the Raiders’ draft position.

New York is expected to be in the quarterback market during the NFL Draft, but now owns a 4-10 record to put some distance between the club and Las Vegas. While Jacksonville sits at 3-11, it likely won’t be looking for a quarterback in April, and the Jags head to Allegiant Stadium next week.

Foster Moreau

  • Stats: 4 catches, 39 yards, 1 TD
  • Game result: 20-19 Saints lose

With Carr out, New Orleans started the game with Jake Haener under center before benching Haener and putting rookie Spencer Rattler in the game. Rattler led a comeback for the Saints, finding Moreau for a clutch touchdown as time expired to give the Saints a chance to tie or win the game. However, the two-point attempt was unsuccessful, ruining Moreau’s and the Saints’ comeback attempt.

New Orleans sits at 5-9 and the tight end is up to 19 catches for 263 yards and three touchdowns on the campaign.

Josh Jacobs

  • Stats: 30 total touches, 136 total yards, 1 TD
  • Game result: 30-13 Packers win

Jacobs’ hot streak continues as he tied a career-high with 12 rushing touchdowns and has the most scores from scrimmage of his career with 13 after Sunday’s performance. Green Bay’s win pretty much guarantees the team a playoff spot, so this is one former Raider we’ll be watching on a national stage next month.
