Las Vegas Raiders fantasy outlook: Week 12 Sit ‘Em or Start ‘Em

Wide Receivers

Henry Ruggs – Sit ‘Em

Henry Ruggs is still an enigma as he is just not getting enough targets to stack up the fantasy points but when he does get the ball he can clearly make an impact. We told you to sit him last week and he had just two touches on the night for 17 yards so we clearly made the right call.

There is always the chance that Ruggs goes off against the porous Falcons defense but unless you have no other choice then the smart decision would be to keep him on the bench. Roll the dice if you like but don’t say I didn’t warn you if he puts up a dud.

Bryan Edwards – Sit ‘Em

One catch for one yard on two targets for Bryan Edwards last week was just about all he could muster as he makes his way back in to the Raiders offense. There is no reason to keep him on your roster at this point which is a disappointment considering he was a starter coming in to the season.

Hunter Renfrow – Sit ‘Em

Hunter Renfrow made two big plays for first downs against Kansas City but did not make much of an impact in terms of fantasy production with two catches for 37 yards. There just don’t seem to be enough targets to go around to justify starting him in anything but a 12-14 team league with two FLEX spots.

Nelson Agholor – Start ‘Em

Nelson Agholor continued his strong season with 6 catches for 88 yards and a touchdown though he could have had a much bigger night were it not for two big drops. He had a shot at another touchdown and almost came down with it but was interfered with on the play.

Keep rolling with Agholor as he should have a big day against a defense that’s very generous to wide receivers, giving up the third most fantasy points to them this season.
