Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders are currently working on a deal to hire Antonio Pierce as the team’s next head coach.

Fantasy Impact

Pierce took over as the interim head coach after the team fired Josh McDaniels in early November. The team finished with a 5-4 record during his tenure and appeared to be a completely different team under Pierce. The Raiders’ players openly campaigned for the team to hire Pierce at the end of the season.

The Raiders’ interim coach Antonio Pierce is considered the favorite to land the permanent head coaching job.

Fantasy Impact

Pierce ended the season on a strong note after taking over for Josh McDaniels. The players have openly supported Pierce in his bid to have the interim tag removed and head into the 2024 season as the head coach of the Raiders.

The Raiders' defense allowed just 14 points on 286 yards of total offense while coming up with five sacks and one interception in Sunday's win over the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact

The Raiders' pass rush harassed Denver QB Jarrett Stidham all afternoon Sunday, as five different players recorded a sack, including Maxx Crosby who finishes an excellent season with 14.5 of his own. The Raiders also defended the run very well in this victory, limiting the Broncos to just 38 yards on 20 carries. The Raiders' defense finishes the season on a nice run, as the unit has not surrendered more than 23 points in a game since before a Week 13 bye.

Las Vegas Raiders D/St allowed 23 points, while collecting one sack in the loss to the Colts.

Fantasy Impact

The Raiders’ defense allowed 224 passing yards and 134 rushing yards in the loss Sunday. The Colts’ offense was able to move the ball effectively all day, averaging 4.6 yards per carry and 9.7 yards per completion. The Raiders’ defense will take on an improving Broncos’ offense in Week 18.

The Raiders' defense allowed 14 points, registered four sacks, forced two turnovers, and scored two touchdowns in their 20-14 win over the Chiefs in Week 16.

Fantasy Impact

Key contributions came from Malcolm Koonce (three sacks), Jack Jones (pick-six), and Bilal Nichols (fumble recovery touchdown). This unit has never really been viewed as the best in the league, but after scoring four touchdowns over the last two games, they can be started in many fantasy formats.
