Las Vegas Raiders DFS Spin
Derek Carr completed 20-of-38 passes for 231 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in the Raiders’ 30-24, Week 15 win over the Patriots. Amazingly, the three-touchdown effort was just Carr’s second of the season. It was a poor overall performance from Carr — he found no pass catcher for more than 50 yards, while his interception was a hellaciously-bad pick six — but he certainly made more plays than Mac Jones. He found each of Darren Waller, Mack Hollins and Keelan Cole for scores, with Cole’s 30-yarder with 0:32 remaining going down as one of the plays of the game. Carr put Cole in position to “Moss” Marcus Jones in the end zone, and the journeyman wideout obliged. In Jones’ defense, Cole seemed to clearly not get both feet in bounds, but the NFL decided not to overrule a call that was called a touchdown on the field. With every week an epic, emotional rollercoaster, Carr has a tough Week 16 date with Mike Tomlin’s defense.
Pittsburgh Steelers DFS Spin
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said QB Kenny Pickett (concussion) will start in Week 16. Pickett, who has suffered two brain injuries this season, sat out Week 15 after being diagnosed with a concussion the week before. His return is a positive development for Pat Freiermuth, who was not targeted by Mitch Trubisky in Week 15 but was targeted heavily by Pickett in recent weeks. Pickett profiles as a 12-team streaming option against a very beatable Raiders secondary
