Raiders D/ST Faces Big Uphill Battle Vs. Ravens
3 months agoThe Las Vegas Raiders D/ST will face one of its toughest challenges in just Week 2 of the season when they face the Baltimore Ravens. In Week 1, the Los Angeles Chargers ran the ball well, averaging a whopping 6.5 yards per carry, and controlled the game's tempo, providing few opportunities for stops or takeaways to boost the D/ST score. The Raiders didn't have many answers for the Chargers' run game, and the Ravens have one of the best-rushing offenses in the NFL, and they'll likely be able to control the game much like the Chargers did. The Ravens are historically one of the worst teams to start D/STs against, given their rushing prowess, so managers should look elsewhere for startable D/STs in Week 2.
