The Raiders made a big change to their offense when they fired offensive coordinator Luke Getsy last week, but they aren’t planning any big moves this week.

Head coach Antonio Pierce said at his Monday press conference that Gardner Minshew will remain the team’s starting quarterback against the Broncos in Week 12. Minshew was 30-of-43 for 282 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday’s 34-19 loss to the Dolphins.

Pierce said he thought the passing offense was “more efficient” and “more crisp” in Scott Turner’s first week calling the offensive plays, the story said. He added that Minshew did a “good job of managing” the offense and keeping the ball out of harm’s way before being picked off while trying to push for a comeback late in the fourth quarter, the story added. O'Connell won't come off the IR for another week but could very well jump back into the starting role once he's ready to go.

Gardner Minshew will start at QB for Raiders, says coach Antonio Pierce.

Minshew is —quite impressively— the QB38 in FPPG (8.3), with four separate performances under 8 fantasy points. He can remain on benches in all formats.

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 HC Antonio Pierce said he wouldn't name a starting QB moving forward.

The Raiders are fresh off firing some coaches to start the week, including their OC Luke Getsy. Pierce hasn't yet decided on a play caller, and so an announcement at QB may come after that decision. The Raiders have a bye in Week 10 so they will have some time to sort everything out. With O'Connell on IR, there isn't much reason to stick with Minshew, however the team just recently signed Ridder, so it's possible he gets a chance with the offense once the team is back in action in Week 11.

Raiders QB Aidan O’Connell now is expected to miss four to six weeks with a broken thumb, per sources. He is getting a second opinion today to confirm the initial diagnosis.

Pro Football Talk is reporting O'Connell will be placed on IR. Minshew takes back over as the starting QB after O'Connell recently replaced him, but Minshew hasn't been great this season and threw three interceptions after taking over against the Rams. The Raiders will have to make a move for another QB to be added to the roster.

Raiders HC Antonio Pierce said Aidan O'Connell will be the starting QB against the Steelers this Sunday.

Do not, under any circumstance, start O'Connell in Week 6.

Pierce wanted to see if Aidan O'Connell gave the offense "a spark" and wouldn't rule out a QB change this week.

Minshew threw for 214 yards with a TD and INT. O'Connell came in and went 9-for-12 for 82 yards and a TD. The Raiders were stunned by Andy Dalton and the Panthers and couldn't overcome a 27-7 deficit heading into the fourth quarter. The Raiders will likely make a decision later this week about their Week 4 QB. The Raiders host the Brown in a later afternoon game.

"That's the plan, to have both those guys really compete through the offseason program, but more so in training camp, and we'll see how it plays out."

The Raiders are set for a QB battle in camp with Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell.

O'Connell had a decent enough rookie season, but still only managed 6.5 yards per pass attempt. Minshew would likely offer more upside for the fantasy pieces in Las Vegas.

“Whatever happens and whatever we do it has to go through Aidan O'Connell. Being honest with you because he's earned that right."

O'Connell, Minshew, and possibly a first-round NFL Draft selection (Michael Penix?) will make up the quarterback controversy heading into the long Summer months, and it's hard to get excited about any of them.

The #Raiders have agreed to terms with QB Gardner Minshew on a 2-year deal. He'll compete with QB Aidan O'Connell.

Minshew performed admirably in steed of Anthony Richardson, but this doesn't do a lot for fantasy purposes. He has proven that he doesn't mind honing in on a #1 option, so should he win the job, Davante Adams should expect plenty of targets.
