Week 15 Raiders Fantasy Football Sleeper

by Rich Langford on Dec 16, 2011 9:26 PM PST

After taking two weeks off it is time for some Raiders to have a solid fantasy day. For an awesome rundown on all the fantasy plays for this game, check out RaiderDamus column.

This is all about the sleeper, and the Raiders have a big one this week. Be aware, that this play is not for the timid. It comes with a high risk/reward tag. Denarius Moore has chance to put up a big game. Then again, he may take a game to get back into the flow and produce very little.

What is also going to hurt Moore's chances is the fact that the Lions have done an excellent job of defending wide outs. Football Outsiders ranks them No. 4 against No. 1 wide receivers and No. 1 against No. 2 wide receivers.

However, Palmer and Moore showed excellent chemistry before Moore got hurt, and you better believe Carson is excited to have him back on the field. Moore will get his opportunities to produce. So, if you are in need of someone that can hit big, Moore is your guy. If you are looking for a safe play...turn somewhere else.

first round play offs

In both of my leagues I have Brees , Miles Austin , Greg Jennings (out).
One of my leagues I have Moore , Donald Driver ,Laurent Robinson ,Nate Burleson.
Thinking of Robinson , Austin and Driver over Moore this week with Jennings out. Driver might just get the looks from Rogers although he’s like Brees (which is why I would never draft a N.O. receiver) in that he throws to EVERYONE.
I would have started Moore if he had played last week but I have to see what he’s going to do this week first with the playoffs starting. I have Sea Bass in both leagues as well as Carson but Brees wins the start at QB. Pittsburgh D in both with one having the Dallas D
