Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2024 draft class fared in a 23-21 loss at the Houston Texans on Sunday and ahead to Week 17’s home game against the New York Giants.

Brock Bowers:

The first-round pick had five catches for 33 yards. He has just 61 receiving yards in the past two games. He was targeted just five times and he caught all of his targets. He has been targeted four, five, eight and five times since Greg Olson took over for the fired Chip Kelly as offensive coordinator. He is averaging 5.5 targets under...
