The Oakland Raiders are set to kick-off their 2019 season this Monday when the team takes on the Denver Broncos. Here are three players to watch in Week 1.

It’s officially game week for every team in the National Football League. On Monday night, the Oakland Raiders will kick off their season at home against the Denver Broncos in what will be a key matchup in the AFC West with both teams looking for bounce-back years.

Given the fact that there are plenty of new faces on the Raiders this year, you could expect some of them to make an impact in the season-opener. Some of them had an interesting and eventful training camp while others simply flew under-the-radar during the six-week period.

Monday will be a night for all those new players to make a name for themselves in the NFL whether they were drafted, traded for, or signed as a free agent. Either way, everyone has something to show on the back-end of ESPN’s Monday Night Football doubleheader.

With that being said, here are the top three players to watch in Week 1 against the Broncos. Knock on wood if you’re with me.
