Las Vegas Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell (thumb) was designated to return from injured reserve on Monday, Nov. 25.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell (thumb) is expected to be activated from the Reserve/Injured list in time to start against the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday, Nov. 29, per The Athletic's Vic Tafur. QB Gardner Minshew (collarbone) suffered a season-ending injury during the team's Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos.
Huddle Up: O'Connell has been out since breaking his thumb on Oct. 20, but he's apparently ready to roll with Minshew on the shelf. He started both games versus the Chiefs in 2023, including the team's upset win on Christmas Day. Of course, O'Connell threw for 62 yards in that game, so you'll want to stay clear of him for Week 13. Beyond that, he's had his moments, most of them coming late last year, so you can keep an eye on O'Connell to see if he gets in a groove again.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell (thumb) is expected to miss four-to-six weeks with a broken thumb. He's seeking a second opinion Monday, Oct. 21.
Huddle Up: Gardner Minshew steps back into the gauntlet that is manning center for the Raiders. He has minimal fantasy value except as a streaming option in two-QB leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Gardner Minshew replaced QB Aidan O'Connell (thumb) in Week 7, and he finished with 154 passing yards and thee interceptions in a 20-15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
Huddle Up: Minshew will likely reclaim the starting job following the O'Connell injury, but he doesn't need be owned in fantasy leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell (thumb) is believed to have suffered a broken right thumb based on preliminary reports, source said Sunday, Oct. 20. He left the Week 7 game against the Los Angeles Rams in the first quarter after banging his throwing hand on S Kamren Curl. He'll be re-evaluated Monday, Oct. 21, to determine the extent of his injury.
Huddle Up: O'Connell had just re-claimed the starting quarterback job, so it's back to Gardner Minshew for the Raiders. If you scooped up O'Connell for fantasy usage in deeper leagues which require two or more starting signal callers, you can safely drop him. He isn't coming back anytime soon.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell (finger) left the Week 7 game against the Los Angeles Rams due to an apparent finger or hand injury. He left for the locker room.
Huddle Up: It's uncertain if O'Connell will be able to return, but Gardner Minshew figures to back under center. Neither is terribly useful from a fantasy perspective, especially now that Davante Adams is a New York Jet.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell completed 27 of his 40 passes for 227 yards, a touchdown and an interception in a 32-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6.
Huddle Up: O'Connell was making his first start of the year, but the Raiders looked like the same team they have been with Gardner Minshew under center. O'Connell doesn't need be owned in fantasy leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell will start in Week 6 instead of QB Gardner Minshew, head coach Antonio Pierce said on Wednesday, Oct. 9.
Huddle Up: After O'Connell lost to Minshew in a quarterback battle during the offseason, this is likely a lateral move, at best. As was the case with Minshew, O'Connell isn't on the starting radar until further notice.

The Las Vegas Raiders have yet to decide who will start at quarterback in Week 6 between QB Gardner Minshew and QB Aidan O'Connell, head coach Antonio Pierce said on Monday, Oct. 7.
