The Las Vegas Raiders open Allegiant Stadium against the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football and we tell you whether to sit em or start em in Week 2
After a thrilling Week1 contest that gave the Las Vegas Raiders their first win in the new era of the franchise and their first signature moment, the Silver and Black are set to check off another milestone with their first home game against the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. In regular circumstances, Raider Nation would be gearing up for the first regular season game in the newly built Allegiant Stadium, but unfortunately, nothing about 2020 has been normal,so the stadium will be without any fans.
Just like the Raiders home game, our fantasy teams probably won’t have any fans cheering it on, but we care about it just the same. This week fantasy owners will be hoping to get a winning streak going or bounce back after a tough start to the year, though if you started Josh Jacobs there’s a 99% chance you are sitting pretty at 1-0 right now.
We got a glimpse of how the Raiders plan to use their offensive weapons, and as we get a better understanding of the team’s trends, it will become much easier to decide who to start and who to sit every weekend. For now we continue to tread in some relatively uncharted waters but this time we have the added benefit of seeing our stars in primetime.
Let’s kick things off and see who should be in your starting lineup or on the bench.
