The Las Vegas Raiders take on Miami in Week 3, and here are some players you should start, or sit in terms of your fantasy football team.

The opponent facing the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3 is definitely not as strong as the two they played before, however, games are not won on paper. This was the case last season when the Raiders were dismantled by 37 points to an Atlanta Falcons team who only managed a meager four total wins in 2020.

The Silver and Black this season are once again starting the season 2-0, just as they had previously in 2020,, but there seems to be a sense of hype and anticipation surrounding this year’s team that is unlike any other in recent memory. What the Raiders will be facing this week in Las Vegas is a Miami Dolphins team without their starting quarterback and an offensive line that has allowed both opponents they have faced thus far to basically set up shop consistently in their backfield.

The defense of the Dolphins might be a tick better than the offense, but in all fairness and honesty, the Silver and Black should win this one going away.

The offense of the Raiders, which has been led by the passing of quarterback Derek Carr, should shine once again versus the faulty Fins, so let’s take a look at some fantasy suggestions for the upcoming clash in the Vegas backdrop.
