Who Should I Start? Davis Mills or Aidan O'Connell

Saturday, November 15, 5:31 AM

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills will make his second straight start for the team in Week 11 when they visit the Titans, since C.J. Stroud (concussion) will miss a second straight contest. Last week, Mills led the team to a big comeback win in Week 10 over the Jaguars by running for the game-winning touchdown to go with his 20 rushing yards and throwing for 292 yards and two touchdowns. Mills had to attempt 45 passes and connected on 60% of those passes, finishing with 27 completions. The Texans will hope for a very different game script this week, looking to play from ahead against the Titans. If they can do that, Mills shouldn't attempt nearly as many passes, limiting his ceiling. He's only the QB26 in RotoBaller's rankings, so he's a very shaky play since he should be in more of a game manager role this week.

The Las Vegas Raiders have opened the practice window for quarterback Aidan O'Connell, who fractured his wrist in late August and began the season on injured reserve. The third-year signal-caller started seven games for the Raiders last season, throwing for 1,612 yards, eight touchdowns, and four interceptions. With Geno Smith entrenched as the starter and Kenny Pickett currently serving as the backup, O'Connell could surface in trade discussions or settle into the emergency QB3 role on gamedays. While O'Connell offers no fantasy value at this time, he could carry some trade appeal given the team's current quarterback depth.
