Looking at Week 3 of Fantasy Football for the Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders had only one player who made a big impact in Week 2 of fantasy football.

Contrary to Week 1, the Las Vegas Raiders were hardly represented in fantasy football over the weekend.

The only Raider worth starting in your lineup last week would have been wide receiver Davante Adams, who had quite the performance in his team's 38-10 Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Here's what to look for from some key Raiders in Week 3 when Las Vegas hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night:

Wide receiver Davante Adams

After having a subtle showing in Week 1, Adams made Week 2 his own, finishing with 84 receiving yards and a touchdown.

That earned him 20.4 points per reception (PPR) fantasy points and 14.4 non-PPR points.

ESPN projects Adams to record 20.51 PPR points and 13.15 non-PPR points on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The six-time Pro Bowler did leave the Week 2 game against Buffalo late after taking a hit to the head, but Raiders Coach Josh McDaniels was adamant Monday that Adams is healthy.

Running back Josh Jacobs

If you drafted Jacobs expecting a season even close to his career 2022 campaign, you have likely been disappointed through the first two weeks of the 2023 NFL season.

Jacobs ended Week 2 with a career-low minus-two rushing yards and 51 receiving yards, which resulted in 9.9 PPR points and 4.9 non-PPR points. 

He is projected by ESPN to total 17.0 PPR points and 13.3 non-PPR points on Sunday.

Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo

Garoppolo has so far been a backup quarterback at best in fantasy so far this season.

Through two weeks, he has only 22.6 PPR and non-PPR points, including a mere 7.5 PPR and non-PPR points against the Bills.

ESPN projects Garoppolo to end up with 14.9 PPR and non-PPR points against Pittsburgh.

Kicker Daniel Carlson

Carlson was called upon for only an extra point and a 47-yard field goal in Week 2, ultimately attaining 5.0 PPR and non-PPR points for the second week in a row.

He is projected by ESPN to tally 7.6 PPR and non-PPR points this upcoming weekend.

The Silver and Black return home to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 24, at 8:20 p.m. EDT/5:20 p.m. PDT.
