Who Should I Start? Gardner Minshew or Javonte Williams

Sunday, November 24, 8:08 PM

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. The signal-caller, who hasn't had an eventful year in Vegas, suffered a broken collarbone during Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. While there was a chance Minshew wouldn't be back under center moving ahead even if he stayed healthy, the latest injury will officially mark the end of his season. With Aidan O'Connell (thumb) on the shelf, the Raiders may hand the keys over to Desmond Ridder, who went 5-for-10 for 64 yards in Week 12. There was also an update from NFL Media's Ian Rapoport early on Sunday that the team may be interested in Daniel Jones, at least once he clears waivers and hits the open market.

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams had a disaster of a performance in the 29-19 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12 on Sunday a week after taking over lead-back duties in Denver's backfield. Williams had a team-high eight carries but produced minus-two yards while catching two of four targets for just six yards. In a great matchup against a banged-up and floundering Raiders defense, the 24-year-old fell flat and has quickly become an avoidable RB3/flex in a Broncos backfield that appears to be playing musical chairs in a three-man committee that also involves Jaleel McLaughlin, who had a team-high 44 rushing yards, and rookie Audric Estime. He has now had single-digit carries in each of the last three games and figures to continue to share the load with McLaughlin and Estime in Week 13 versus the Cleveland Browns.
