Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell (knee) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report for Sunday s game vs. the Jaguars. He s just a low-end QB2 in fantasy lineups, but O Connell s return is good news for WR Jakobi Meyers and TE Brock Bowers.
Meyers has been nursing the ankle injury for a few weeks. He was limited in the first two practices ahead of Week 16 but never appeared to be at risk of missing Sunday's game. Meyers was upgraded to a full session before being cleared from the injury report. With Aidan O'Connell back under center, Meyers can be trusted as a volume-based WR3 once again.
O'Connell's return provides the requisite stability for Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers to return reliable fantasy value against the bottom-barrel Jaguars pass defense. O'Connell himself could flirt with mid-tier QB2 numbers in this fantasy-friendly matchup. He practiced in full on both Wednesday and Thursday.
Meyers has been limited in both practices to start the week, but this is presumably the same ankle injury he's played through the last two weeks. Barring an unexpected setback, we would expect Meyers to suit up for Week 16 against the Jaguars, although we should have more clarity on his situation on Friday.
Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. That puts him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. Considering QB Desmond Ridder's performance on Monday night (59% completion rate and 5.3 yards per attempt), this is good news for TE Brock Bowers and WR Jakobi Meyers.
