Raiders to stick with Gardner Minshew at QB

Pro Football Talk

Nov 18 · 2:38 PM EST

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.

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Related Players: Desmond Ridder, Aidan O'Connell

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Raiders Beat: Team expected to start Desmond Ridder at QB

The Athletic

Nov 12 · 3:50 PM EST

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.

Raiders waiting to make a decision at QB

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

Fantasy Impact:

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.
