Raiders CB Marcus Peters (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Peters suffered a knee injury in Week 9 and was limited in practice last week, but did play in Week 10 against the Jets. The veteran corner has a good chance to suit up against the Dolphins Sunday as long as he continues to log at least limited practice time.
Raiders CB Marcus Peters (knee) is expected to play against the Jets Sunday.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, free agent DB Marcus Peters is signing with the Las Vegas Raiders on a one-year deal.
Fantasy Impact
Peters worked out with the Raiders on Monday, and they decided to sign him on the same day. Peters adds to the Raiders secondary in time for training camp. Las Vegas had one of the worst passing defenses in the NFL in 2022, and though Peters isn't a consistent lockdown corner, his ball-hawking ability will provide immediate value to the Raiders' defense.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, free agent CB Marcus Peters is visiting and working out with the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Peters has had stints with both the Chiefs and Ravens before becoming a free agent this offseason. Peters is a three-time All-Pro CB, though he hasn't made the cut since 2019. In his 2.5 seasons in Baltimore, Peters totaled eight interceptions and 25 pass deflections, furthering his reputation as a ball hawk, though often at the price of allowing more yards. Peters could find an immediate role in LV's defense as an outside corner, a unit that may likely struggle again in 2023.
