Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Howell had a rough showing Saturday, completing just one pass from five attempts for 13 yards with a brutal interception. The veteran, who is on his third team in three years, is still the favorite to backup J.J. McCarthy, but hasn't been convincing during this preseason. Howell did add 14 yards on three rushes leading the offense without top receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, but the Vikings also took long looks at Brett Rypien and Max Brosmer on Saturday. From a fantasy perspective, Howell is only roster-worthy as McCarthy insurance in deep formats.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell continues to have a rough preseason, throwing his third interception despite completing 10 of 15 passes for 88 yards in Saturday's 22-19 loss to the 49ers. O'Connell struggled against blitz pressure and failed to finish any drives with a touchdown. While he remains the favorite to back up Geno Smith for now, rookie Cam Miller isn't ready to seriously challenge for the QB2 role. O'Connell has no fantasy value as long as Smith is available.
