Look for the Oakland Raiders to use the TE even more in the passing game in 2010

24-year old Zach Miller will probably see a lot more action in the passing game than he did last season now that the Raiders have a legit QB in Jason Campbell.  Miller played in 15 games (all starts) for the Raiders last season and he caught 66 passes for 805 yards (12.2 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  He has now played in 47 games (46 starts) in his three years in the NFL and he has caught 166 passes for 2,027 yards (12.2 avg) with 7 TD grabs. 

30-year old Tony Stewart will likely be the #2 TE for the Raiders in 2010.  Stewart played in 15 games (4 starts) for the Raiders last season and he caught 10 passes for 78 yards (7.8 avg).  He has now played in 115 games (31 starts) in his 9 years in the NFL and he has caught 76 passes for 623 yards (8.2 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  Stewart is more of a blocker than a pass catcher.

24-year old Brandon Myers could see more action in 2010.  Myers played in 11 games (2 starts) as a rookie for the Raiders last season and he has caught 4 passes for 19 yards (4.8 avg). 

30-year old John Owens played in 16 games (3 starts) for the Seahawks last season and he caught 3 passes for 16 yards (5.3 avg).  Owens has now played in 76 games (19 starts) in his 7 years in the NFL and he has caught 22 passes for 178 yards (8.1 avg) with 1 TD grab.  He is more of a run blocker than a receiver.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE RAIDERS  TEs in 2010:  B
