Raiders tight end Clive Walford to have important role in Raiders offense
According to ESPN insider Adam Caplan, rookie tight end Clive Walford is expected to have a "significant role" in the Raiders offense this upcoming season.
What It Means:
Walford is currently slotted as the number two tight end behind veteran Mychal Rivera. Walford impressed during spring practices by outplaying Rivera.
The Raiders ranked 30th in our schedule-adjusted Passing Net Expected Points metric last season. Rivera ranked outside the top-20, among tight ends with at least 40 targets, with a 0.44 Reception Net Expected Points per target last season, which compares a player's performance to expectation level. We project Rivera to finish the year with 45 receptions, 452 receiving yards, and three receiving touchdowns.
