Aidan O'Connell News
Wednesday, November 19, 3:15 PM
The Las Vegas Raiders announced on Wednesday that they activated quarterback Aidan O'Connell (wrist) from Injured Reserve. O'Connell has missed all of the 2025 season to this point after suffering a fractured right wrist in the preseason. It's possible that Geno Smith's poor play could open the door for O'Connell to make starts under center for the Raiders before the end of the year, but it's unclear if that's potentially in play as early as Week 12 when the team takes on the visiting Cleveland Browns this Sunday. Kenny Pickett has been serving as Smith's backup for the first 11 weeks of the season, but O'Connell could quickly jump him on the depth chart now that he's back. The 27-year-old has a 62.6% completion rate in his two years in the NFL, throwing for 3,830 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 20 games (17 starts).

Jalen Milroe News
Sunday, August 16, 5:59 AM
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Jalen Milroe took over for Drew Lock on the team's third drive against the Cowboys on Saturday. Milroe went 5/8 for 36 yards. He also added five carries for 36 yards and recovered his own fumble. After Lock led the offense to a touchdown on the opening drive, Milroe was unable to capture that magic. In 2025, fantasy managers were excited for the prospect of Milroe receiving some rushing work in this offense. Instead, he spent much of the season inactive as the team went in a different direction. Milroe looks like he may not be pushing for the backup job this season either. For now, he remains irrelevant in fantasy despite possessing solid upside should he ever receive a chance to start in the NFL.
