Who Should I Start? Aidan O'Connell or Tommy Devito

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.

New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito (concussion) was participating in drills at practice on Wednesday, so he's on track to clear the league's concussion protocol by Sunday in order to serve as the backup to starter Drew Lock in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons. DeVito made the first start after the team parted ways with Daniel Jones in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but a right-forearm injury forced him into a backup role the following two weeks before he made his second start in place of the injured Lock in the Week 15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 26-year-old then suffered a concussion on Sunday, but he appears to be making good progress and could be cleared for a backup role this weekend. The second-year signal-caller underwhelmed in his two starts before getting hurt and will be New York's backup as long as Lock can remain healthy through the final three weeks.
