Brian Hoyer Will Start At QB In Week 7

one year ago

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Brian Hoyer has been named the starter ahead of Week 7 versus the Chicago Bears, per ESPN's Dianna Russini. This comes after the team ruled out Jimmy Garoppolo (back). It appears the Raiders are continuing to experiment with their options at the quarterback position. Rookie Aidan O'Connell drew the start when Garoppolo missed Week 4, but it was Hoyer who took over after Garoppolo departed versus New England last Sunday. The veteran journeyman will operate as the Raiders' quarterback again in Week 7, ranking as a mid-range QB3 for fantasy purposes. This development isn't great news for Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, and other Vegas pass-catchers, though it helps that the Raiders have a soft matchup in the Bears.
