News: 18 hours agoO'Connell completed 24 of 38 passes for 257 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jaguars. He added seven rushes for 12 yards.

Spin: O'Connell returned from a one-game absence and stabilized the Raiders' offense by not turning the ball over and taking only two sacks. He also completed three passes of at least 20 yards, two of which came in the first quarter. O'Connell has now thrown for multiple touchdowns in only one of his four starts on the season, but he has shown the ability to get the ball to the Raiders' top playmakers at a consistent clip.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Though O'Connell performed admirably in a nine-start audition as a rookie under coach Antonio Pierce to conclude last season, he'll be tasked with competing for a job in 2024. O'Connell scored 17-plus fantasy points in three of his final four games, hinting at fantasy matchups value, but for the season had well-below-average 1.7 TD/INT and 16.7% off-target rates. That caused the Raiders to bring in veteran Gardner Minshew as competition. O'Connell would need to impress the coaching staff, either in the preseason or season's early weeks, to be worth a fantasy add.
