Las Vegas Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) remains in the concussion protocol, per sources Monday, Oct. 2.
Huddle Up: Garoppolo seemed close to clearing the protocol before being ruled out in Week 4. The Raiders play Monday night in Week 5, giving him an extra day to clear the protocol. If he's healthy, consider him a mid-QB2 or streaming option against the Green Bay Packers in Week 5.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell is expected to start in Week 4 versus the Los Angeles Chargers, according to multiple sources, as a result of QB Jimmy Garappolo (concussion) being ruled out for the game.
Huddle Up: The news of O'Connell being favored to start comes as a bit of a surprise because the Raiders also have veteran QB Brian Hoyer on their roster. However, O'Connell played well during the preseason and the team also wants to see what they have in him. That being said, he shouldn't be started outside of deeper two-quarterback fantasy leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) was ruled out ahead of the Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to sources Saturday, Sept. 30.
Huddle Up: With Garoppolo out, it's likely to be Brian Hoyer under center. Hoyer should not be started in fantasy lineups, and there should be a slight downgrade for Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, and Josh Jacobs. The matchup is favorable enough to start them, but Hoyer likely won't be able to sustain multiple top fantasy finishes.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) was limited during practice Friday, Sept. 29, and is listed as questionable for Week 4.
Huddle Up: Garoppolo needs to pass his concussion tests before he is cleared to play, so he probably will be a game-time decision for Week 4. He could be a possible option in two-quarterback leagues if he plays but can be avoided in standard leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) was limited in practice on Thursday, Sept. 28, after not taking part the day before.
Huddle Up: ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported earlier in the day that the Raiders are optimistic Garoppolo will suit up, and his limited status after sitting out Wednesday means he's trending in the right direction. Garoppolo has some starting appeal this week if he suits up, as the Los Angeles Chargers are ceding the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Consider Jimmy G a QB2 and streaming option if he plays. If he doesn't, Brian Hoyer is the next man up but isn't a starting option.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) "is doing well" in his recovery from a concussion, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, and Fowler said the Raiders are optimistic that Garoppolo will be able to play in Week 4.
Huddle Up: Although Garoppolo doesn't have much fantasy appeal, having him under center would be good news for Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) is in the concussion protocol, per sources Monday, Sept. 25.
Huddle Up: It will be tough for Garoppolo to clear the protocol in time for Week 4 so this situation very well may have a major impact on Davante Adams and Josh Jacobs. It's likely that Brian Hoyer would replace Garoppolo if he misses the Week 4 game.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 22, and is not on the injury report for Week 3.
Huddle Up: Meyers is on track to play in the Week 3 game as long as he does not suffer a setback. He has been productive when he has been on the field and can be at least a No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues.
Posted 9/22/2023 5:20 pm GMT
Las Vegas Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) is "good to go" for Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to head coach Josh McDaniels on Friday, Sept. 22.
Huddle Up: Meyers returns from a one-game absence after thrashing the secondary of the Denver Broncos for nine catches, 81 yards and two scores in the opener. The Steelers appeared to be a middling matchup for receivers through two games, but they got pummeled by Brandon Aiyuk (8-129-2) in Week 1 and gave up seven catches and 90 yards to a less-than-100-percent Amari Cooper last Monday. Feel free to get Meyers back in lineups.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams (head) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 20.
Huddle Up: Adams was checked for a concussion after the Week 2 game but appears to be on track to play in Week 3. He is a must-start option in all leagues as long as he does not suffer any setbacks.
Posted 9/20/2023 11:46 pm GMT
Las Vegas Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 20.

Posted 9/18/2023 5:47 pm GMT
Las Vegas Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) is heading in the right direction as he progresses through the concussion protocol, per sources Monday, Sept. 18.

Posted 9/18/2023 5:42 pm GMT
Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams (concussion) is "good" after being evaluated for a concussion in Week 2, per sources Monday, Sept. 18.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams (foot) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 15, and is not on the injury report for Week 2.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 15, and is not on the injury report for Week 2.
Huddle Up: Garoppolo will be with one of his top receivers this week but still has good pass catchers to throw to on in Week 2. He can be a starting option in two-quarterback leagues but can be avoided in standard leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills.
Huddle Up: Meyers took a big blow to the head in Week 1 and will miss the opportunity to build on his 9-81-2 line as a result. The Bills boast a formidable defense, but Meyers' absence figures to lead to another sizable target share for Davante Adams. Hunter Renfrow could also see his first extensive action in place of Meyers after he was shut out in the opener, although it would be difficult to trust him in fantasy outside the deepest of leagues.
Posted 9/14/2023 10:14 pm GMT
Las Vegas Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) practiced in full on Thursday, Sept. 14, after being limited the day before.
Huddle Up: Garoppolo had a pedestrian debut with the Raiders, and while there will be better weeks, right now he's only an option in two-quarterback leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams (foot) practiced in full on Thursday, Sept. 14, after not practicing the day before.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 13.
Huddle Up: It looks like Garoppolo is dealing with a minor injury but does not appear to be in danger of missing the next game. He is coming off a solid Week 1 performance but should only be a starting option in two-quarterback leagues.
Posted 9/13/2023 8:21 pm GMT
Las Vegas Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 13.
Huddle Up: Meyers will need to pass his concussion tests before he is cleared to play, so fantasy players will need to monitor his situation. He is coming off a two-touchdown performance and can be at least a flex option in leagues if he is cleared to play.
Posted 9/13/2023 8:20 pm GMT
Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams (foot) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 13.
Huddle Up: Adams may be receiving some time off, but fantasy players should check on his status later in the week. He will continue to be a main part of the passing game and should be a weekly starting option in all leagues.

Posted 9/11/2023 7:10 pm GMT
