Raiders’ QB Jimmy Garoppolo remains in concussion protocol today, per head coach Josh McDaniels.

Related Players: Brian Hoyer, Aidan O'Connell

Veteran Brian Hoyer would presumably get the start if Jimmy G misses Week 4, but it's not great news for the Raiders fantasy pieces whether he or Aidan O'Connell gets the green light.

Colts coach Shane Steichen: Anthony Richardson cleared concussion protocol and will start Sunday's game.

Related Players: Gardner Minshew

Minshew didn't look as good in Week 3 as he had in emergency duty the previous week, but the Colts still got the win. Richardson was emerging as a fantasy star before taking a hit that gave him the concussion back in Week 2. Now that he's active, he is a shoo-in as a top-ten option due to his rushing prowess.

For the second straight day, the Colts listed QB Anthony Richardson as a full participant in practice, putting him on track to play Sunday vs. the Rams.

Minshew has played well filling in for Richardson but the Colts wanted to put to rest any thoughts of a QB controversy. The story added we should get a better idea of Richardson's status for Week 4 when the Wednesday's injury report comes out.

The Vikings are planning to get newly acquired tailback Cam Akers involved in at least part of their game plan for their next game Sunday at the Carolina Panthers.

The story was mainly about head coach Kevin O'Connell threatening to bench players because of turnovers. As the story said, Mattison fumbled twice against the Eagles in Week 2, and fumbled two more times in Week 3 - however he was ruled down on one and that his forward progress stopped on another. While Mattison produced better fantasy numbers, Akers looks to be a threat to some of his touches going forward. Also, Kirk Cousins threw an interception at the goal line and another in the end zone while TE T.J. Hockenson lost a fumble this past week.

Garoppolo didn't talk to reporters after the Sunday night game, as we posted a news story this morning about him being evaluated for a concussion. He'll need to clear protocol before Week 4's game at the Chargers, which is a later Sunday game. Hoyer would be expected to get the start if Jimmy G can't go, but O'Connell looked good this past summer.

We'll likely know more later today, but Garoppolo wasn't available after the game for any comment. If Garoppolo is unable to play in Week 4, Hoyer would likely step in. But the Raiders also have an impressive rookie in O'Connell who looked good this past summer and is popular in the dynasty community.

For the third straight day, Colts’ rookie QB Anthony Richardson is not practicing due to the concussion he suffered Sunday.

Gardner Minshew is now in line to start Sunday at Baltimore.

Gardner Minshew performed great in emergency duty in Week 2, completing 82.6% of his passes. Minshew should be on radars in SuperFlex leagues if he gets the Week 3 start against the Ravens.
