02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Oakland Raiders utilized a West Coast timing offense, aiming to create mismatches with versatile tight ends and running backs in the passing game.

H-backMove TESlot receiver
Best role

Rivera projects as a Year 1 contributor in the slot or as an H-back, with the ceiling to develop into a reliable receiving option.

Wrong fit

A run-heavy, two-TE traditional blocking scheme that prioritizes inline blocking over receiving will diminish his value.

Rivera's ability to stretch the seam and work the middle of the field aligns well with a system that values pass-catching tight ends and flexibility in formations.
