O'Connell With A Tough Matchup In Week 17

O'Connell With A Tough Matchup In Week 17

11 months ago

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell completed nine of 21 passes for 62 yards and zero touchdowns in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite passing for less than 70 yards in four full quarters, O'Connell and the Raiders walked away with a win. The win was almost entirely the doing of the defense and run game in that contest. The Raiders take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 17. The Colts have the eighth-highest PFF grade for pass rush, and O'Connell has the fourth-lowest quarterback rating against pressure. The Colts allow a ton of damage to running backs, so O'Connell may be able to take a backseat in this contest as well. Fantasy managers should continue to leave O'Connell on the waiver wire this week.
