Hunter Renfrow

Those who referred to Renfrow as 'The Accountant' had it right -- he's reliable, and always looks comfortable working between the numbers. The 2019 fifth-round pick was an efficient, mid-volume slot specialist his first two NFL seasons, before breaking out in 2021 as the Raiders' leader in targets, catches, yards and touchdowns. Six missed games from TE Darren Waller played a role, with Renfrow averaging 8.1 targets in those contests compared to 7.2 in the 11 games Waller played. Still, that's a huge increase from 2019 (5.5 per game) and 2020 (4.8), with Renfrow arguably challenging Waller for Alpha status even when both were healthy. It'll be a different story in 2022, as new Raider Davante Adams combines some of Waller's best traits (size, physicality) with some of Renfrow's (crafty route-running, precise footwork). The new setup has Renfrow as Option B or C, which is good news for the Raiders but less so for fantasy mangers. It's not out of the question for all three of Adams, Waller and Renfrow to approach their recent production, as the Raiders don't have great depth behind them and could feature a pass-first offense under new coach Josh McDaniels. You might say Renfrow has the benefit of familiarity, but Waller has actually been with the Raiders a bit longer, and Adams was QB Derek Carr's favorite target back in their Fresno State days.
