The Las Vegas Raiders head home to Allegiant Stadium to face the Indianapolis Colts and we tell you whether to sit em or start em in Week 14.
In Week 13, the Las Vegas Raiders escaped Metlife Stadium with a win over the New York Jets by the slimmest of margins, and the play that decided the game may have decided some fantasy matchups as well. The game-winner was a 49-yard bomb from Derek Carr to Henry Ruggs that put Carr over 350 yards, and gave him his third passing touchdown of the day, while also taking Ruggs’ day from poor to very good.
The Jets were an easy matchup on paper for the Raiders, and they lived up to their reputation as easy pickings for fantasy players, but put up a great fight in the actual outcome of the game. Almost all of the Raiders’ offensive players had good to great fantasy days and even the defense had a decent day despite giving up four touchdowns.
The Indianapolis Colts on the other hand present a much different challenge in both fantasy and in the real deal for the Las Vegas Raiders as they currently have one of the best defenses in the NFL. The Colts are also one of the contenders in the AFC for either a wild card spot or the AFC South crown so this game has extra meaning in the standings.
Also as this is Week 14, this is the first week of the playoffs in many leagues so getting a great performance from your favorite Raiders is even more vital to keep your fantasy season going and save you from the dreaded consolation games. Let’s dive in and see who you should start and who you should sit in Week 14.
