It's a rare occasion when a group of Fantasy experts agree on much, but all three sets of our CBS rankings have the Raiders as this week's worst DST.
It's not so much the opponent -- the Colts, led by Andrew Luck, should be decent offensively coming out of the gate in Week 1 -- but the makeup of the unit that leaves little Fantasy hope. The return of Pat Sims in the final preseason game helped turn the fortunes of the Raiders around a bit, but it did little to erase the memories of 50 points allowed in the two first halves of the two previous preseason games. The debacles led to head coach Dennis Allen describing the defense as "vanilla."
With even the deepest Fantasy leagues being comprised of 18-20 teams, the Raiders DST still probably won't crack many rosters. It's best to leave the unit on the waiver wire for now; if it turns out they were holding back schemes and packages in the preseason and put up 15 points in Week 1, they'll be there for the adding on Tuesday.
