Aidan O’Connell's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Las Vegas Raiders rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell (finger) completed 20 passes on 31 attempts (65%) for 244 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 18 win against the Denver Broncos. O'Connell was injured in this contest, leaving briefly with a right-finger injury, but was able to return and finish the game. The rookie quarterback finished the season with back-to-back games over 240 passing yards and two touchdowns. With the Raiders already eliminated from playoff contention, O'Connell's season has officially ended. It remains to be seen if O'Connell will remain the team's starting quarterback heading into next season, but he finished the season with positive momentum. The rookie quarterback showed signs of development as the season progressed. If O'Connell can build on his rookie season, he has the potential to be a viable fantasy starter next season.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (finger) is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Denver Broncos. The Raiders have nothing to gain with a win on Sunday, so the rookie could be done for the remainder of Week 18. If so, he will finish with a respectable 151 yards and a touchdown off 14-for-24 passing. Nonetheless, O'Connell isn't a lock to remain under center next season. He's had a few adequate fantasy outings. However, he's also struggled more than once. At any rate, Jimmy Garoppolo is in to potentially close out the Raiders' season.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell completed 30 of 47 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns in Week 17 against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite having one of his best performances, O'Connell was stuck with the loss against Indianapolis. O'Connell picked up a win in arguably the worst start of his career the week prior, so it appears his impact on the team's wins and losses is negligible. The Raiders face the Denver Broncos in Week 18. The Broncos defense improved as the season went on, and their secondary is a solid unit. Despite having potent weapons around him, O'Connell is not a dependable starter. Fantasy managers should leave him on the waiver wire for the season's finale.
