Per Raiders.com, here are tonight’s offensive and defensive depth charts:
QB: Derek Carr, Mike Glennon, DeShone Kizer
RB: Josh Jacobs, Jalen Richard, DeAndre Washington
FB: Alec Ingold
WR1: Tyrell Williams, Hunter Renfrow, Ryan Grant
Practices continues as usual for the rest of the #Raiders team. QB Derek Carr connects with rookie WR Hunter Renfrow during the individual period. Renfrow has been a standout throughout preseason. @nflnetwork pic.twitter.com/pwDHdxqpk9

WR2: J.J. Nelson, Dwayne Harris
TE: Darren Waller, Foster Moreau, Derek Carrier
LT: Kolton Miller, Brandon Parker
LG: Jordan Devey, Jonathan Cooper
C: Rodney Hudson, Andre James
RG: Denzelle Good
RT: Trent Brown, David Sharpe
Quick Analysis: The loss of Antonio Brown will sting, as this might be the weakest WR core in the NFL. However, all eyes will be on rookie running back Josh Jacobs and rookie slot receiver Hunter Renfrow, both of whom are expected to be thrust into major roles. Derek Carr will likely target Renfrow and Tyrell Williams the most and tight end Darren Waller also turned heads in the preseason. However, Vic Fangio's defense should create some major issues for the Raiders, given their lack of overall playmakers.
LDE: Clelin Ferrell, Josh Mauro
LDT: Maurice Hurst
RDT: Jonathan Hankins, P.J. Hall
RDE: Arden Key, Benson Mayowa, Maxx Crosby
WLB: Nicolas Morrow, Kyle Wilber
MLB: Vontaze Burfict

SLB: Tahir Whitehead, Marquel Lee
LCB: Gareon Conley, Keisean Nixon
RCB: Daryl Worley, Trayvon Mullen
SS: Karl Joseph, Erik Harris, Dallin Levitt
FS: Jonathan Abram, Lamarcus Joyner, Curtis Riley
Quick Analysis: Rookie Clelin Ferrell headlines the defensive line while the team also added Vontaze Burfict and some help in the secondary this offseason. Despite those improvements, the Broncos will look to pound the ball and control the time of possession in this game, which could result in Oakland's defense becoming gassed. The unappealing Raiders offense should have a number of quick series, which will most likely create a major disadvantage for Oakland's defense from an attrition standpoint.
