Las Vegas Raiders

Las Vegas Raiders running back Sincere McCormick, who took the starting job from RB Alexander Mattison (ankle), who took Zamir White's (quad) starting job, who took over for Josh Jacobs, who left for greener fields (literally), is the guy you want to start in Week 15. McCormick. He's the guy. He's a lot more explosive than the other backs in his backfield. It's not necessarily a great matchup, so perhaps many fantasy managers have their hopes high. Teams prefer to pass against the Falcons since they have an awful secondary and aren't great at getting pressure on opposing quarterbacks. They've also had a productive offense for most of the season. McCormick's role is nice, though, and it necessitates consideration at RB2/RB3 slots for needy teams. He has a chance of being a key contributor down the stretch, and he's reasonably talented.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker logged just seven receiving yards on two receptions in Week 14. His usage wasn't horrible, as he was targeted five times, but he's struggled with consistency all season. With starting quarterback Aidan O'Connell (knee) questionable for Monday's game, it's hard to see that changing in a big way. He's still behind elite tight end Brock Bowers and excellent WR Jakobi Meyers in target priority, and he's more of a gadget player than anything. He has an excellent matchup, though. If O'Connell or backup QB Desmond Ridder end up getting in a rhythm, he could have a decent day. But his floor in fantasy football is extremely low, so outside of deeper leagues, he shouldn't be in starting consideration.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers logged a full practice on Saturday as expected, and he carries no injury designation heading into Monday night's game with the Atlanta Falcons. He's been managing an ankle issue with plenty of rest throughout the weekdays, so this ailment is of minimal concern. He'll face an Atlanta defense that's been shredded multiple times through the air over the past few weeks, and it's a great matchup for Meyers to see plenty of targets. He should be started in all PPR leagues regardless of who ends up playing at QB. While his ceiling is lower if backup quarterback Desmond Ridder ends up getting the nod, he's a great and highly underrated WR that consistently gets separation and wins on his routes, and that's what matters for fantasy football.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is set to continue his historic season when his team takes on the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15. It's the first round of the fantasy playoffs for most leagues, and there's no one better to put in your TE spot than the rookie sensation. He's logged a ridiculous stat line of 87 catches on 118 targets for 933 yards and four touchdowns, and every quarterback who's played for the Raiders this year knows he's a great player to get the ball to. Even if QB Aidan O'Connell (knee) isn't able to go, backup Desmond Ridder should still sling the ball Bowers' way early and often. The Falcons defense hasn't been very good against the pass, either, so it's a solid matchup.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (knee) is questionable to play against the Atlanta Falcons for Monday Night Football in Week 15. O'Connell did not participate in practice Thursday, Friday, or Saturday and has an official questionable tag heading into Monday night's contest. He has 899 yards passing and four passing touchdowns with three interceptions this season. Desmond Ridder is listed as the backup quarterback for the Raiders should O'Connell be sidelined on Monday. Ridder has 239 passing yards and a passing touchdown for Las Vegas this season.
