3 potential X-factors for the Jets offense vs. Raiders in Week 8

The New York Jets face their biggest challenge since head coach Aaron Glenn took over after a Week 7 loss to the Miami Dolphins. However, a winnable game against the Las Vegas Raiders looms on the horizon. Jets Wire has highlighted three potential X-factors that could impact the Jets' offense in the upcoming matchup.

Firstly, running back Breece Hall is set to return to the lineup. Hall's limited practice on Wednesday suggests he will be available for the game against the Raiders. His return is crucial as he has been the team's primary back in Hall's absence, with Braelon Allen stepping up to fill the void.

Secondly, rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. has been in stellar form. In two consecutive games, Cooper has already surpassed 100 receiving yards and scored a touchdown. With Geno Smith expected to continue targeting Cooper, the rookie's impact on the offense could be significant.

Lastly, the Jets' offensive line faces a formidable challenge from the Raiders. Maxx Crosby, their star pass rusher, is likely to target Jets right tackle Armand Membou. Crosby is a Pro Bowl talent who typically lines up opposite the right tackle. Membou will need to maintain stability in the pocket to prevent any potential issues for the offense.
