3 years agoThe Las Vegas Raiders were hit hard Monday, seeing six members of its defense added to the league's Reserve/COVID-19 list. The group includes linebackers Denzel Perryman, Cory Littleton, K.J. Wright and Patrick Onwuasor, cornerback Casey Hayward Jr., and defensive tackle Darius Philon. Las Vegas' defense has enjoyed two consecutive weeks of solid production, albeit against backup quarterbacks in both situations. The team is currently projected to be down six starters for Sunday's matchup with the Colts, which could further elevate the upside of Colts quarterback Carson Wentz, running back Jonathan Taylor and wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. if none of the group are able to rejoin the mix. The Raiders defense is likely on the outside looking in for season-long fantasy relevance over the final two weeks, while their DFS price tag could earn them some contrarian appeal.--Jesse Borek
