Who Should I Start? Aidan O'Connell or Carter Bradley

Friday, December 20, 2:33 PM

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (knee) appears to be ready to return to the field following a one-game absence. O'Connell has been able to get through full practice sessions and should be good to go against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to head coach Antonio Pierce. The return of O'Connell is good news for the fantasy value of Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers. O'Connell hasn't been a fantastic fantasy option, but carries QB2 value against a struggling Jags secondary.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Carter Bradley has been signed to the 53-man roster on Tuesday. The rookie quarterback figures to serve as the backup to Desmond Ridder going forward. The Raiders already lost Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) and Aidan O'Connell (knee), so Ridder will now likely get a chance to prove himself in Week 15. Bradley is unlikely to touch the field unless Ridder goes down, which sadly has been a theme for Raiders quarterbacks this season. The Raiders also added Jake Luton to the mix, but he'll take over Bradley's spot on the practice squad. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned about adding Ridder or Bradley in dynasty formats with the Raiders likely signing or drafting a quarterback next season.
