The Las Vegas Raiders' offense is nothing short of stacked. Davante Adams and Darren Waller are each among the very best at their positions while Hunter Renfrow is emerging as a high-level slot receiver. Derek Carr has tons of options coming into the season but touted running back Josh Jacobs as someone is very excited for.
Carr said to NFL Network that he is very excited for Jacobs, as the team's numerous pass-catching threats could open up room for him to dominate.

“Who knows? Who knows what could happen? One thing I know is these Raiders, these guys, they're working their tails off to try and put a good product on the field, and that doesn't guarantee wins, but it gives us a better chance.”
Jacobs had 1,220 all-purpose yards last season, which was actually a career-low. He scored nine touchdowns, all on the ground, while the Raiders leaned more into Carr and the passing game. The 2020 Pro Bowler's role in the offense will be lessened even more with Adams joining but he will still be needed to keep defenses on their toes. Head coach Josh McDaniels is also excited to work with him.
Although Jacobs may not be a 1,000-yard rusher like he was in his first two seasons, Las Vegas will need a big season out of him. If he continues to play near a star level, the Raiders' offense could be one of the very best in the league.
