Las Vegas Raiders: 2021 Week 17 Fantasy Football Start ‘Em or Sit ‘Em
Start ‘Em
Josh Jacobs
Yes, there is a heel turn here. Josh Jacobs surely proved us wrong last week as he rushed for his first 100-yard game of the season. Whoever called Jacobs running over the Bronco defense to the tune of 129-yards last week, would have likely been called insane — but, here we are.
The back will need only need to replicate this performance or get close enough to it for a Raider victory, but maybe for you (and possibly more importantly), win your fantasy league.
A passing attack which was once one of the most dangerous in all of football, has been reduced to shambles, and for the Raiders to taste victory, they will likely need to return to the run game, so if Josh Jacobs is on your fantasy team, start him at all costs.
Hunter Renfrow
The slot receiver has not been his dominant self as of late, but this is due in large part to being the unfortunate target of double teams constantly.
With the Raiders looking to likely be without star tight end Darren Waller again, Renfrow will surely be the main man double teamed in this matchup. However, the talented receiver has a knack for getting open, and even with the constant double teams, he should be able to return to form in this one as the Colts will focus more heavily on stopping the run.
If Hunter Renfrow is on your roster, let it ride with the talented receiver and start him this week.
