Las Vegas Raiders fantasy outlook: 2020 Week 7 Sit ‘Em or Start ‘Em

The Las Vegas Raiders face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football and we tell you whether to sit em or start em in Week 7.

The Las Vegas Raiders just wrapped up their bye week and are on a collision course with one of the better NFC teams in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football. This will be the Raiders’ second primetime game of the season and will take place at Allegiant Stadium just like their Week 2 matchup with the New Orleans Saints.

The Buccaneers are coming in hot after a dominant drubbing of the previously undefeated Green Bay Packers and will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the NFC South. There are storylines galore in this game thanks to the Tom Brady-Raiders connection that started 20 years ago and the Jon Gruden-Buccaneers connection as he spent nearly a decade with them and delivered their only Super Bowl title.

There is also the subplot around Brady reportedly being chased by the Raiders to replace Derek Carr this past offseason but that always seemed to be more smoke than fire. Aside from all the off-field subplots, this is a matchup of two good teams that will be anxious to prove that they are worthy of being true contenders.

On the fantasy side of things, the Bucs defense is currently the second best in points scored and they have some formidable players on both sides of the ball. This matchup will be a true test for the Raiders in the real world and more importantly for our purposes, in the fantasy world as well.
