Las Vegas Raiders fantasy outlook: 2020 Week 10 Sit ‘Em or Start ‘Em

Defense and Special Teams

Daniel Carlson – Start ‘Em

Daniel Carlson is an absolute menace this season, and had another great performance with four extra points and one field goal against a solid Chargers defense. Carlson has missed just two field goals this season including one in the 35mph winds of FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland.

His other miss came from 40-plus yards out against New England, and he has been near-perfect on extra points, missing just one against Kansas City in Week 5. He is just about matchup proof this season and comes up against a Denver defense that is giving up the fifth most points to opposing kickers.

Carlson will also be kicking indoors at Allegiant Stadium this weekend so wind and weather will not be a factor.

Las Vegas Raiders Defense – Sit ‘Em

The Las Vegas Raiders defense may be a tempting streaming option as the Broncos have given up the third most points to fantasy defenses and are averaging a little more than two turnovers per game. Drew Lock alone is responsible for seven of those turnovers but the Raiders just don’t force all that many turnovers so it will be interesting to see what comes out of Sunday’s game.

Denver is also in the middle of the pack in terms of sacks given up with 21 on the season so the Raiders pass rush will have to work for anything they get. We recommend staying away from the Raiders defense yet again despite Denver’s turnover problems.
