Due to COVID issues within the Cleveland Browns organization, the Las Vegas Raiders will play on Monday, so set your fantasy lineups accordingly.
The Las Vegas Raiders were supposed to take on the Cleveland Browns on Saturday afternoon as part of a two-game doubleheader to kick off the weekend slate. However, as COVID-19 positives continued to pile up, there was some traction that the league would postpone the game, even though that was not in the rules heading into the season.
When all was said and done, the NFL did postpone the game until Monday, as they had been getting pressure from the NFLPA due to safety concerns. Now, the Browns will go into this game with many more starters than they would have if the game took place on Saturday, swinging the advantage back in their favor.
For the Raiders, they cannot worry about whether or not postponing the game was fair, as plenty of their players, including Casey Hayward Jr. and K.J. Wright took to social media to show their displeasure with the league’s decision. The focus has to be on getting to .500 on the season, and keeping their playoff hopes alive.
Here, we shift our focus to the fantasy landscape, where playoffs are kicking off all over the world, and give our insight as to what Raiders you should be starting, and which you should be sitting in Week 15.
