Avery Duncan — DeAndre Hopkins has three touchdowns. The Raiders are struggling to defend the passing game. With them starting young corners on Sunday, Hopkins could be in for a field day.

Chris Nalls — In the absence of receiver Will Fuller, Kenny Stills has over 100 yards receiving and three touchdowns.
conley comes through
Mark Lane — Former Raiders cornerback Gareon Conley does end up helping his new team in an impactful way as he gets a third quarter interception to seal the momentum for the Texans.

Marcus Mosher, managing editor, Raiders Wire — Oakland fails to sack or intercept Deshaun Watson.
stills’ big game continues
Anthony Wood — Former Miami Dolphins receiver Kenny Stills may have seemed somewhat of an afterthought in the Laremy Tunsil trade but he has proved a shrew acquisition so far. Stills returned from injury with 105 yards on just 4 receptions against the Indianapolis Colts last week, and with Will Fuller now out Stills’ role should grow. He’s experienced, quick, extremely reliable and has proven a genuine deep threat. Expect the Houston Texans to use him more heavily moving forward, my bold prediction for this weekends game against the Oakland Raiders is that he records 150 yards and a touchdown at the least.
