Raiders To Name Starting Quarterback Next Saturday

3 months ago

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce expects to name his starting quarterback for Week 1 after the conclusion of next Saturday's preseason contest against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com. The competition is between incumbent starter Aidan O'Connell and free agent acquisition Gardner Minshew II, and it's possible that Pierce won't make up his mind on a starter until each quarterback plays at least one quarter next weekend. The Raiders aren't expected to have a terrific offense this year, but both O'Connell and Minshew have previously shown that they're capable of supporting fantasy-relevant production from their playmakers.
