Aidan O'Connell

Aidan O’Connell completed 27-of-40 passes for 227 yards with a touchdown and an interception in a 32-13, Week 6 loss to the Steelers.

Much of O’Connell’s passing volume, including his lone touchdown, came late in the fourth quarter with the Steelers up by three touchdowns. Obviously, not having Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers was always going to make this hard for O’Connell but it’s also hard to see what he brings that Gardner Minshew doesn’t, except for youth. He did buy time for himself in the pocket and took only one sack, but he wasn’t able to get much of anything going down the field. There is little change to the fantasy value of Raiders’ skill position players if O’Connell remains under center next week against the Rams.
