The Las Vegas Raiders head to Metlife Stadium to take on the New York Jets and we tell you whether to sit em or start em in Week 13.
The Las Vegas Raiders had a difficult afternoon in Georgia as they were manhandled by the Atlanta Falcons and their suddenly resurgent defense. The Falcons harassed and harried Derek Carr all game long and never allowed the Raider offense to find a rhythm and it resulted in five turnovers and a historically bad performance.
Naturally when a team gets beat down the way the Raiders did, there can still be some solid fantasy performances in garbage time and maybe even a couple touchdowns. Jon Gruden doesn’t appear to be a big fan of garbage time and pulled Derek Carr early to avoid injury and there was little success for the Raider offense once the game was already decided.
This shocking performance was completely unexpected against a team that has had a generous defense so far this season but they have been better since Raheem Morris took over as the interim coach. The New York Jets on the other hand have been extremely generous on offense all season and don’t appear to be changing coaches anytime soon.
The Raiders will be looking to bounce back in both real life and fantasy football against an atrocious Jets team so let’s jump in to the Week 13 sit em or start em for your Las Vegas Raiders.
