O'Connell has been sidelined all season due to a wrist injury, but he is ready to take over whichever role the Raiders need after being activated earlier this week. Geno Smith is likely to remain the starting QB, at least a little while longer, while Kenny Pickett competes with O'Connell for the No. 2 spot.

Fantasy Impact

O'Connell has been on IR all season after fracturing his wrist in late August. Now, the third-year QB could be back in the mix under center for the Raiders within the next week or so. O'Connell would seemingly compete with Kenny Pickett for the No. 2 QB gig, but starter Geno Smith has been notably struggling of late.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell is expected to miss over a month and a half after fracturing his wrist, according to head coach Pete Carroll.

Fantasy Impact

O'Connell was in line to be the Raiders' QB2 in 2025 behind veteran Geno Smith after being an occasional starter for the last couple of seasons. With O'Connell out, this sets Las Vegas up to have one of its two rookies, Cam Miller and Tommy Mellott (a QB-to-WR convert), as its immediate QB2. A trade or preseason addition could be in line.
