Role diminishes down the stretch Littleton finished his 2021 season with 98 tackles (51 solo), 0.5 sacks, four passes defensed and one fumble recovery in 17 games.
Impact Littleton also made five stops in the Raiders' playoff loss to the Bengals this past weekend, but he actually saw his playing time diminish on defense throughout the latter half of the season, as rookie Divine Deablo carved out a larger role at outside linebacker. Littleton carries a massive cap hit of $15.8 million in 2022, while Deablo's development could encourage the team to consider moving on from Littleton despite $14 million of dead cap.

Impact Littleton suffered a stinger during the Raiders' loss to Washington on Sunday.

Huge day vs. Denver Littleton had 11 tackles (seven solo), a half-sack and one pass breakup during Sunday's win over the Broncos.

With 55 tackles through six contests, Littleton is in play as a weekly fantasy option. However, he played only a season-low 69 percent of defensive snaps Week 6.
