The Raiders defense has found a pass rush largely due to the emergence of Kahlil Mack. Mack has become a one-man wrecking crew with ten sacks in the last four games including a five-sack game against the Broncos in week 14.

Oakland has also been able to force multiple turnovers in their last four in a row resulting in at least nine fantasy points in ESPN standard scoring in each of those contests. This week, the Raiders are on a quick turnaround, but they’re facing a familiar foe in the Thursday Night Football game.

Oakland hosts Philip Rivers and the banged-up Chargers in week 16, so look for them to be the best widely available option for this week’s slate. They may not be your conventional steaming option, but they’ve been playing much better lately and coach Jack Del Rio definitely has this group trending the right direction.
