By Nico Di Fede
The Oakland Raiders’ rookies played a lot in the team’s Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Which players saw their stock rise and which saw it fall?
With one of the youngest rosters in the league, the Oakland Raiders let their rookies play a large number of snaps in their Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
As one of, if not the best team in the NFL, the Chiefs were a good test for the Raiders who had handled the lowly Denver Broncos well in Week 1.
It also provided some much-needed experience — whether good or bad — for the Raiders’ rookies who were playing a truly elite NFL team for the first time in their careers.
Despite giving up 28 points in one quarter and only scoring 10 on offense, there were some individual good performances. But of course, there were plenty of bad ones as well.
Let’s take a look at how each of the Raiders’ rookies performed in the team’s Week 2 loss to the Chiefs.
