Raiders expected to start QB Desmond Ridder on MNF

Pro Football Talk

The Raiders are in line to start their third different quarterback of the season when they face the Falcons on Monday night.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Desmond Ridder is expected to get the start.

Related players: Aidan O’Connell

Fantasy Impact:

O’Connell is listed as questionable to play after hurting his knee last Sunday and he will work out before the game, but the current feeling is that Ridder will get the nod, the story went on to say. At this point, Brock Bowers owners are just hoping whoever is under center will continue to feed Bowers the ball.

Raiders Beat: Team will be looking for a QB in 2025

The Athletic

Looking ahead to 2025, the Raiders will find themselves searching for an answer at quarterback for the third offseason in a row.

Related players: Aidan O'Connell, Gardner Minshew, Desmond Ridder

Fantasy Impact:

The author said O'Connell is the best bet to be in the mix, but it's only because he hasn't really played much. Minshew is under contract for next season, but hasn't played well in his time this season. The Raiders are on pace to have one of the top picks in the NFL Draft, but also could opt to go another direction and take the best player, much like they did last draft with Brock Bowers at TE. The author said the Raiders could once again explore the available veterans: Sam Darnold, Russell Wilson, Justin Fields and Jameis Winston are scheduled to be free agents. Either way, it appears the Raiders will probably have a new starting QB in 2025.

As it turns out, quarterback Aidan O’Connell’s injury is not as significant as previously feared.

According to multiple reports, an MRI confirmed O’Connell suffered a bone bruise in his knee. O’Connell has not yet been ruled out for next Monday’s matchup with the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact:

A report from earlier today said the Raiders believed O'Connell suffered a significant knee injury, but that is not the case. O'Connell plays on Monday night, so owners will need a backup plan if they are counting on O'Connell in lineups in Week 15. O’Connell was taken off the field with a cart and had an air cast over his leg, the story pointed out.

Raiders fear QB Aidan O'Connell (knee) out for season

Sources: Raiders fear QB Aidan O'Connell suffered a season-ending knee injury today vs Tampa Bay.

Related players: Desmond Ridder, Carter Bradley

Fantasy Impact:

O'Connell is undergoing additional testing to confirm the full severity, but it looks like the Raiders will have to turn to yet another QB this season. Next up should be Ridder, which probably doesn't do a lot to change the fantasy potential of this offense. There is likely to be big changes on the Raiders next season and QB could be one of them.
