The Las Vegas Raiders face the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night Football and we tell you whether to sit em or start em in Week 15.

The Las Vegas Raiders fell apart in the fourth quarter against the Indianapolis Colts to pick up their sixth loss of the season, but are still in the playoff hunt as they welcome the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night Football. The Chargers are not in the playoff hunt after a series of one-possession losses early in the season but are still a dangerous team that should not be taken lightly.

From a fantasy perspective, the Raiders did well against a Colts defense that has stifled opposing offenses this season, and much of that scoring was done before the game went into garbage time. The Chargers defense is much more forgiving than the Colts’ unit and we should see more of the same from the Raiders’ offensive players.

With the quick turnaround from the disappointing loss to Indianapolis, the Raiders will need to be at their best against the Chargers to keep their playoff hopes alive. If you are still alive in your fantasy playoffs, or if this is just the start of your fantasy playoff journey, you will need these Raiders weapons at their best as well.

Let’s take a look at the upcoming matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers and tell you who to sit and who to start this week on Thursday Night Football.
