Las Vegas Raiders — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
The Las Vegas Raiders DST sits at DST27 with a negative draft value, and the honest case for drafting them is narrow. Over the past three seasons they have averaged 39.7 sacks, 10.3 interceptions, and 10 forced fumbles per year — a turnover and pressure profile that keeps them relevant in weekly streaming conversations. The 2023 season showed what the ceiling looks like: 46 sacks, 13 interceptions, 14 forced fumbles, 9 fumbles recovered, and 3 defensive touchdowns. That kind of production is real. The question is whether it returns.
What the model projects
The projection is 90.7 half-PPR fantasy points for the 2026 season. That places the Raiders DST #192 overall and DST27 at their position, sitting in Tier 9. The draft value is -38.3, meaning the projection lands below replacement level at the DST position on a 12-team half-PPR baseline. Their bye week is Week 13.
| INT | Sacks | FF | FR | TD | Saf | PA | Half-PPR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 13 | 46 | 14 | 9 | 3 | — | 331 | 122.0 |
| 2024 | 10 | 37 | 6 | 3 | 1 | — | 434 | 75.0 |
| 2025 | 8 | 36 | 10 | 8 | — | 1 | 432 | 80.0 |
| 3-yr avg | 10.3 | 39.7 | 10 | 6.7 | 1.3 | 0.3 | 399 | 92.1 |
The range of outcomes
The three-season record frames the variance clearly. Points allowed ranged from 331 in 2023 to 434 in 2024 and 432 in 2025 — a 100-plus-point swing in opponent scoring that directly shapes fantasy output. Sacks fell from 46 in 2023 to 37 in 2024 and 36 in 2025. Interceptions dropped from 13 in 2023 to 10 in 2024 and 8 in 2025. Defensive touchdowns went from 3 in 2023 to 1 in 2024 and none recorded in 2025. The three-year averages — 39.7 sacks, 10.3 interceptions, 6.7 fumbles recovered, 1.3 touchdowns — sit closer to the floor than the 2023 peak. The upside exists; the recent trend does not point toward it.
How to draft him
The Raiders DST carries no market ADP across tracked platforms, meaning they are not being consistently drafted in public 2026 leagues. At DST27 and Tier 9, they project as a below-replacement option. If you roster them at all, treat them as a late-round streaming candidate and plan to manage the position week to week around matchups. Their Week 13 bye is a scheduling note worth keeping in mind when building your roster.
