Avoid Raiders Defense In Week 17

The Las Vegas Raiders defense has underperformed this season, entering Week 17 as the 24th-ranked scoring defense in the NFL. They rank 30th and 31st in sacks and takeaways, respectively, despite a second consecutive Pro Bowl year from defensive end Maxx Crosby.

Darren Waller A Risky TE Play In Week 17

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jarrett Stidham will make his first career start on Sunday in place of Derek Carr, according to Vic Tafur of The Athletic.
