Watching the Raiders host the Jets on Sunday night reminded me of a debate I once accidentally sparked after drafting wide receiver Davante Adams in my priority fantasy football league.
I called Adams the best player on the Raiders as I shouted at one of my league mates to add his name to the draft board. Two of my friends, both Raiders fans, quickly disagreed.
They countered with Maxx Crosby as Las Vegas’s best overall player. If these were strangers, I would have probably agreed. Crosby is one of the premier edge rushers in the league. But I’ve known these friends since high school and college, so naturally I continued to make counter arguments. (Or maybe it was the Modelos that kept me arguing.)
