The Raiders have a stockpile of speed at the wide receiver position. With Darrius Heyward-Bey, Louis Murphy, Chaz Schilens, and Johnie Le Higgins, the Raiders have four receivers who could give them a dangerous aerial attack.
Let's look at the men who would be responsible for the spread to work.
Darrius Heyward-Bey: After a lousy rookie year (nine catches, 124 yards, one TD), it is being said that DHB has made great progress during OTAs. If he can still run as deep as he could last year, he should be the go-to-guy of the Raiders spread, but let's see how good he is in training camp when contact is allowed, before we are sold on him.

Add on some blown calls by the refs (week one vs. SD) and it was a tough rookie year for him, but he bounced back with the game-tying TD against Cincinatti and game-winner at Pittsburgh.
