Elandon Roberts signs one-year deal with Raiders

Linebacker Elandon Roberts is heading to Las Vegas on a one-year, $3 million contract with the Raiders, per Adam Schefter.

Note: the original Schefter post described this as a reunion with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the confirmed reporting shows Roberts signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. Roberts did spend the past two seasons in Pittsburgh before this deal.

Fantasy impact

Roberts is a linebacker whose value is almost entirely on the defensive side of the ball. He does not factor into any fantasy roster decisions in standard or PPR formats. Dynasty managers with IDP leagues can note the move, but his role and snap share with Las Vegas are not yet known.

Drop him from your watchlist unless you play IDP.
