Las Vegas Raiders: 2021 Week 15 Fantasy Football Start ‘Em or Sit ‘Em

Sit ‘Em: Derek Carr

The captain has not been his normal self, or for a more in-depth perspective — has not played up to the standards of how he began this season.

Whatever the reason for the collapse is another article for another day. However, the reason Carr should be sat is not because of talent in this one, but the weather. With conditions that are going to be reminiscently as bad as a season prior, the passing game will not be put on display in this one.

The Raiders running attack has been lethargic at best this season, but for the Raiders to even have a chance in this one, they must pound the ball inside with running back Jacobs. Carr will be used more as a decoy than not in this clash.

Carr is likely a must-start for your team if you have him at quarterback, and he may add some value if he can find some red zone success, but do not hold your breath on a big performance in this one.
