The Las Vegas Raiders make their way south to take on the Atlanta Falcons and we tell you whether to sit em or start em in Week 12.

The Las Vegas Raiders will look to bounce back from their tough loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with a win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12. Despite their 3-7 record, the Falcons won’t be an easy out as they still have dangerous weapons on both sides of the ball and a QB in Matt Ryan who knows how to win.

The Falcons struggles have been primarily on defense and that should lead to a great day at the office for the Raiders from a fantasy perspective, regardless of the outcome of the game. The poor defense should also help the Raiders win the game but that of course is not what we’re here to discuss.

Last week many of the Raiders offensive players had great days against a talented Chiefs defense and that trend should continue against an Atlanta defense that is 29th in the NFL in yards allowed and 25th in points against. They also don’t do a great job of rushing the quarterback so there should be plenty of time to operate and rack up those fantasy points.

We were pretty spot on with our predictions on who to start and sit for Week 11 so let’s talk about who to sit and who to start for the Raiders trip out east in Week 12.
