Raiders D/ST Picks Up Five Sacks In Loss

Raiders D/ST Picks Up Five Sacks In Loss

5 months ago

The Las Vegas Raiders defense/special teams scored six fantasy points largely by sacking Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes five times in a 19-17 loss on Friday. Pass-rush specialists Maxx Crosby and K'Lavon Chaisson were able to exploit mismatches with the Chiefs' struggling exterior offensive linemen. However, this doesn't move the needle much for the unit for the rest of 2024 in fantasy football. They still struggle to stop opposing offenses from scoring. The heavily ball-control focused Chiefs offense scored 19 points, which isn't a ton, but LV wasn't able to force a single turnover, making it difficult for them to rack up points on fantasy scoreboards. They'll face an elite Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense in Week 14 and shouldn't be started in fantasy leagues.
