Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2023 class fared in a 34-10 home loss to the New York Giants on Sunday and looking ahead to Week 18’s season finale at home game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Tyree Wilson:
Wilson played 65 percent of the snap with Maxx Crosby out for the season. Still, Wilson didn’t provide much of a pass-rush at all against New York. He should play a lot against Kansas City as another disappointing season comes to a close for the No. 7 overall draft pick.
Michael Mayer:
The second-round pick played 93 percent of the snaps with Brock Bowers done for the season. The Notre Dame product responded with a career game with nine catches for 89 yards on 10 targets. Mayer has been injured and inconsistent, but Sunday he showed he can make an impact. The Raiders will give him a chance to finish strong against Kansas City.
Tre Tucker:
The third-round pick played 100 percent of the snaps and was a big part of the plan with both Bowers and rookie wide receiver Jack Bech out. Tucker had five catches on six targets for 49 yards. It wasn’t great production but it was his most catches since Week 7 and most yards since Week 6.
Aidan O’Connell:
The reserve quarterback has been on the 53-man roster for the past six games after recovering from a preseason wrist injury. He is the emergency quarterback, will get some playing time Sunday and could start over backup Kenny Pickett on Sunday with Geno Smith not expected to play.
