Jackson and Carr have found rhythm in time for Raiders
DeSean Jackson has tormented NFC East teams for years, having played 11 of the first 13 years of his career for the Philadelphia Eagles and WashingtonDECEMBER 3, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRYAN EDWARDS
Targeted once against Dallas Edwards caught his only target for 12 yards in the Raiders' 36-33 overtime victory over Dallas on Thanksgiving Day.
Impact Edwards, who was blanked by the Bengals in Week 11, remained unproductive Thursday while fellow receivers Hunter Renfrow, Zay Jones and DeSean Jackson combined for 16 catches on 20 targets for 295 yards and a score. Edwards' offensive snap share once again landed above the 70-percent mark, but he's essentially posted three duds in four games since the Raiders' Week 8 bye. Tight end Darren Waller (knee) is considered week-to-week, however, which could force quarterback Derek Carr to look in Edwards' direction more often against Washington in Week 13.

Not targeted in loss Edwards was not targeted in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Bengals.
Impact Edwards paced his position group in offensive snap share Sunday, but his only touch of the entire contest came early in the third quarter when he rushed for no gain on one carry. The Raiders' wide receiver corps ultimately combined for just six total targets, while tight end Darren Waller and running back Josh Jacobs saw a collective 15 looks from quarterback Derek Carr. Edwards should continue to receive ample playing time, however, so he'll look to bounce back Thursday in Dallas

Raiders in danger of another spiral after rout by Chiefs
Raiders quarterback Derek Carr believes this year's team is different than the ones that collapsed in the second half of the season in 2019 and 2020 to spoil promising startsNOVEMBER 15, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Leads Raiders in receiving Edwards had three receptions (four targets) for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-14 loss to Kansas City.
Impact Edwards bounced back from a rough zero-catch performance in Week 9, finishing one yard shy of his previous season high while also depositing his second touchdown this year. The 2020 third-round pick may see increased opportunities down the stretch with the Raiders being thin at the wide receiver position. Edwards will look to repeat Sunday's strong showing in a Week 11 matchup against the Bengals.

Silent against Giants Edwards earned four targets but did not record a reception in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Giants.
Impact Edwards was among three Raiders to record four targets, though he get couldn't get on the same page with Derek Carr. Edwards has consistently been on the field for offensive snaps this season, but he has failed to record more than three catches in all but one game. The expected addition of DeSean Jackson will only make his potential for volume more tenuous moving forward.

Hauls in TD against Eagles Edwards caught three of four targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Eagles.
Impact While he didn't see much volume, the second-year receiver was on the receiving end of a one-yard strike from Derek Carr in the third quarter that gave the Raiders a 30-7 lead and gave Edwards his first TD of the year. He has only 18 catches on the season, but seven of them have gone for 20 yards or more, and Edwards will remain a big-play threat on the other side of the team's Week 8 bye.
