Per Raiders HC Antonio Pierce, QB Aidan O'Connell has "earned" right to compete for starting job

“Whatever happens and whatever we do it has to go through Aidan O'Connell. Being honest with you because he's earned that right."
— Raiders coach Antonio Pierce to Steve Wyche⁩ on his QB situation and what’s next.

Related Players: Gardner Minshew

Fantasy Impact:

O'Connell, Minshew, and possibly a first-round NFL Draft selection (Michael Penix?) will make up the quarterback controversy heading into the long Summer months, and it's hard to get excited about any of them.

Raiders agree to terms with QB Gardner Minshew

The #Raiders have agreed to terms with QB Gardner Minshew on a 2-year deal. He'll compete with QB Aidan O'Connell.

Fantasy Impact:

Minshew performed admirably in steed of Anthony Richardson, but this doesn't do a lot for fantasy purposes. He has proven that he doesn't mind honing in on a #1 option, so should he win the job, Davante Adams should expect plenty of targets.

Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell named starter moving forward

Another major move in Las Vegas: The Raiders are expected to start rookie QB Aidan O'Connell this week and going forward, with Jimmy Garoppolo going to the bench. The promising O’Connell now gets his shot.

Related Players: Brian Hoyer

Fantasy Impact:

Things are getting spicy in Vegas. O'Connell should be able to move the ball down the field better than Garoppolo was able to on Monday Night Football, and will hopefully bring Jakobi Meyers and Davante Adams back into fantasy relevance.

Raiders hoping QB Jimmy Garoppolo can play Week 8

Head coach Josh McDaniels was asked at a Monday press conference how close Jimmy Garoppolo was to getting back from his back injury for the Chicago game. He declined to put a number on it, but said that there’s hope about his ability to get back for next Monday night.

“That’s a medical thing,” McDaniels said. “I wouldn’t be able to put a percentage on that. I know he’s doing well, but that’s something they’ll let us know when it’s turned a corner. I’m hoping for this week, but I don’t have clarification yet.”

Related players: Brian Hoyer, Aidan O'Connell

Fantasy Impact:

As the story said, Hoyer was 17-of-32 for 129 yards and two interceptions before being replaced by O’Connell. O’Connell started a game earlier this year when Garoppolo had a concussion, but McDaniels said he didn’t second guess the choice to go with Hoyer Sunday.
