The Oakland Raiders travel to face the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday, and in terms of fantasy football, there are few key players worth starting.

The Oakland Raiders begin their long road trip this week in Minnesota against Mike Zimmer and the Vikings. Both teams come into this game still trying to find out who they indeed are this season. Each of them looked excellent opening weekend but was quickly brought back to earth in Week 2.

Depending on which version of these teams shows up, this is could profitable or a disastrous matchup for fantasy owners.

Volume is also crucial in fantasy, and there are definitely some mainstays for both teams that need to show up on Sunday. There are also things schematically that could benefit a few players and lead to productive outings.

The quarterbacks are going to be complete enigmas in this game so proceed with caution starting either if you’re in a single QB league. Derek Carr is facing a tough defense overall on the road while Kirk Cousins has been inconsistent and loose with the football.

Let’s dive deeper into this and look at the four best fantasy options for this Sunday’s games.
