Aidan O'Connell Trending Toward Starting In Week 9

Aidan O'Connell Trending Toward Starting In Week 9

one year ago

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell could start for the team against the New York Giants, according to NFL insider Ari Meirov. This news comes after the firing of head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler. With the Raiders likely headed toward a lost season, the organization likely wants to see what it has in the rookie signal-caller from Purdue before the season ends. This means Jimmy Garoppolo could be headed for the bench, and his time with the Raiders could end after just one season. Fantasy managers in two-QB and superflex leagues should pick up O'Connell, but he's unlikely to enter the fantasy radar in single-QB formats. The Las Vegas pass-catchers are riskier fantasy options moving forward.
