Las Vegas Raiders DFS Spin
Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad) is doubtful for Week 17 against the Colts. Rookie Zamir White handled a lead back role for the Raiders in the absence of Jacobs for the previous two games and could be set up to do the same against a Colts defense allowing 4.2 yards per carry and 27.6 PPR points per game to opposing backfields this season. White doesn’t carry the same target upside as Jacobs did, meaning he should be treated as a yardage and touchdown back for fantasy championship week.
Indianapolis Colts DFS Spin
Colts coach Shane Steichen said Michael Pittman has cleared concussion protocol and is expected to play in Week 17 against the Raiders. That said, the Colts still listed Pittman as questionable. That doesn’t change his outlook. Pittman cleared concussion protocol last week but then experienced symptoms over the weekend, forcing him to miss Indy’s matchup with the Falcons. Barring another setback, he will suit up as a high-end fantasy WR2 for Week 17.
