The Las Vegas Raiders travel to Massachusetts to take on the New England Patriots and we tell you whether to Sit ‘Em or Start ‘Em in Week 3.

The Las Vegas Raiders are 2-0 for the first time since the 2017 season, and are riding high after a big win on Monday Night Football over the New Orleans Saints. Next up for them is a test against on the road against the new-look New England Patriots and their resurgent quarterback Cam Newton.

Behind a big performance from Darren Waller, tough running from Josh Jacobs, and an efficient game from Derek Carr, the Raiders scored 34 points for the second straight week and look like the offensive powerhouse that was much hyped during the offseason. Jacob and Waller were the stars of the show but several other plays contributed with big and timely plays to keep the Saints offense off the field.

From a real-life football perspective, the Raiders are rolling as their offense is clicking and their defense is making just enough plays to win. From a fantasy perspective however, things are a bit murkier for anyone not named Darren Waller or Josh Jacobs as the rest of the skill players on offense are trying to find their groove.

Here is our Week 3 fantasy outlook for the Las Vegas Raiders.
