The Las Vegas Raiders D/ST fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 17 (2023). Our advice on whether you should start or sit the Raiders defense for fantasy lineups.
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ team leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Top-12 D/ST
ANALYSIS: The Las Vegas Raiders might be the hottest defense in the league right now. They've scored four defensive touchdowns in the last two weeks in wins over the Chargers and Chiefs. In those wins, the Raiders forced an incredible seven turnovers combined!
A SCOOP AND SCORE! The Raiders defense is buzzing.

The Raiders' pass rush is led by Maxx Crosby who has racked up 12 sacks in their last three games. They held the Vikings to just three points three weeks ago in a game they lost 3-0.
Today, they'll face a Colts team led by backup quarterback Gardner Minshew II. He's done an admirable job this year filling in for Anthony Richardson, but he has thrown 9 interceptions while also losing eight fumbles. This Raiders defense will certainly have their ears pinned back on the pass rush, hoping to force Minshew into some more turnovers.
They are a risky play this week, but with some major upside as their interim coach, Antonio Pierce has them playing some really solid football.
