The quarterback play has been terrible, and the Raiders are expected to make the change to Desmond Ridder after Gardner Minshew II was benched for a third time this season.

O'Connell is expected to miss 4-6 weeks and is on IR. He could return in December based on that timeline, but for Week 11, it looks like the Raiders are going with Ridder against the Dolphins. Ridder was just recently signed off the wire and made his debut in relief of Minshew when we last saw the Raiders in Week 9. Ridder likely won't make an impact as the starter, but the hope is the offense continues to target Bowers at TE and Meyers at WR so their fantasy stock remains steady.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers had an X-ray after Sunday's game but coach Antonio Pierce said the rookie checked out fine and there are no worries there.

Bowers, the team's de facto WR1, should be jammed into any and all lineups in Week 9.

No surprise here, but at least we get the news early in the week. Meyers and Bowers look to benefit the most from Adams' absence (and eventual trade) and should be considered respective WR2 and TE1s.

The Raiders' preference as an organization is to get a Davante Adams trade done “sooner rather than later,” per multiple sources.

The Adams distraction is the last thing the team needs now as it continues to struggle. But, the post went on to say the Raiders aren’t going to do just any deal, and their preference has been not to take on any of the money remaining on Adams’ contract, according to Shultz's post. The post did say expect things to ramp up this week. The Raiders switched from Gardner Minshew to Aidan O'Connell against the Broncos, but it didn't lead to a spark on offense. Bowers may benefit the most with Adams no longer in the lineup and he posted an 8-97-1 line, followed by Meyers' 6-72-0 line. Tucker didn't have a great day, despite being a popular name on the waiver wire.

There's a very real chance we've seen Adams play his last snap as a Las Vegas Raider, which leaves their receiver corps as one of the worst in the league if they don't get anyone back in a potential trade.

Yes, Davante Adams likely has played his last game as a Raider.

Via NFL Media, Adams has informed the Raiders that he would like to be traded.

Adams missed Week 5 after injuring his hamstring in practice last week. Reports began to circulate the Raiders have reached out to teams who may be interested in trading for Adams. The story said since they’d likely cut him after the season, before his $35.64 million salary hits the books, they wouldn’t get a compensatory draft pick when he signs elsewhere. The only way to get compensation is to trade him before the deadline, which arrives in five weeks, the story said.

Terrible news for the Raiders offense and their chances of beating the Browns in general. Meyers can be considered a fringe WR2/3 in Week 4, while Bowers might hit double-digit targets for the first time in his young career.

LT Kolton Miller (shoulder) is also good to go.

Bowers has a bright future (and likely bright year) ahead of him, but it might be best to avoid this matchup if you have another option. With both teams looking to run the ball, it could be a clunker for the passing game
