17. Oakland Raiders (18)

He may not have broken the 100-yard rushing mark against the Packers, but Chris Warren continued to be one of the biggest winners of the preseason for the Oakland Raiders after leading the team in rushing once again. The Raiders may already be set at running back thanks to a duo of Marshawn Lynch and Doug Martin, but Warren is showing signs of being the go-to player down the road.

Of course, before looking that far down ahead, Oakland is just focused on returning to their winning ways after failing to live up to the hype last year as one of the top contenders in the AFC. In fact, many believed the Raiders would be the team with the best chance of taking down the New England Patriots in the AFC, which obviously wasn’t the case since they couldn’t even earn a Wild Card spot.

This time around, Oakland hopes the hiring of Jon Gruden at head coach will help Derek Carr reach a whole new level at quarterback to give the team a better chance of getting back on track. Carr was limited in action against the Packers, but expect the Raiders quarterback to be ready to go for that tough first game of 2018 against the Rams.
