Raiders Beat: Team expected to start Desmond Ridder at QB

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.

Related players: Aidan O'Connell, Jakobi Meyers, Brock Bowers

Fantasy Impact: 

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.
