The Las Vegas Raiders were defeated 41-24 by the Washington Commanders in Week 3. The offense wasn’t the issue, scoring three touchdowns while racking up more than 350 total yards. Having analyzed Pro Football Focus’ final grades, these Raiders players on offense were their highest-graded performers.
Tre Tucker | WR | 86.1
Wide receiver Tre Tucker was unsurprisingly the Raiders’ highest-graded player on the entire team. Tucker was Geno Smith’s go-to target, hauling in eight receptions for 145 yards and three touchdowns (!). The Commanders‘ secondary had absolutely no answer for his big-play ability.

Geno Smith | QB | 84.2
Speaking of Smith, he was outstanding in a bounce-back game after a three interception performance in Week 2. Smith rarely put a foot wrong in Washington, completing 19-of-29 passing attempts for 289 yards, three touchdowns to Tucker, and zero turnovers. His quarterback rating was a stellar 132.7, fifth-best this week, per Next Gen Stats. The defense let the offense down.
Brock Bowers | TE | 84.0
Brock Bowers wasn’t his usual dominant self. The former Georgia standout recorded four receptions for 38 receiving yards. Despite that, PFF assigned him a season-high 84.0 grade. Bowers hauled in 4-of-5 targets, posting his best catch percentage (80%) of the season. Coming off an injury, his average depth of target (aDOT) was a season-low 6.4.
