Fantasy Impact: O'Connell has not seen action since he injured his thumb in Week 7. Once he is cleared to return, he will likely be in line to start over QB Desmond Ridder, with Gardner Minshew (collarbone) now out for the season.

Raiders QB Gardner Minshew II will miss the remainder of the season with a broken collarbone.
Fantasy Impact: Minshew suffered the injury in the loss to Denver Sunday. Prior to the injury, he completed 25-of-42 passes for 230 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The Raiders will likely wait to announce who will start Friday until later in the week.

Fantasy Impact: Whitehair will be sidelined once again, leaving the Las Vegas offensive line shorthanded against a stout Denver defense Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Mattison will join Zamir White (quad) on the sidelines for head coach Antonio Pierce, with Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube leading the backfield attack against the Broncos Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: White entered the weekend carrying a doubtful designation and will miss the divisional contest. Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube will lead the backfield attack for head coach Antonio Pierce against the Broncos Sunday.
Raiders CB Nate Hobbs (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Week 12. (Source: Tashan Reed on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact: Hobbs will miss another game due to an ankle injury. With CB Jakorian Bennett ruled out and Jack Jones questionable, the Raiders' defense could be thin at corner in Week 12.
Andre James was limited at practice on Thursday. (Source: Raiders.com)
Fantasy Impact: It is a step in the right direction for James after he was sidelined last week and on Wednesday. He could be good to return if he can practice again on Friday.
Harrison Bryant was limited at practice on Thursday. (Source: Raiders.com)
Fantasy Impact: It is a step in the right direction for Bryant after he was sidelined last week and missed practice on Wednesday. He remains off the fantasy radar if he is healthy.
The Raiders activated Michael Mayer from injured reserve. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Mayer is expected to make his return after practicing all week. He will be off the fantasy radar playing behind Brock Bowers.
Jakobi Meyers (ankle) was upgraded to a full participant at practice on Thursday. (Source: Las Vegas Raiders)
Fantasy Impact: Meyers has been managing this ankle injury for several weeks now, but it looks like he may finally be getting over it. He was able to play through it last week and is now back at practice in a full capacity, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect this to be an issue for him in Week 9 and beyond.
Maxx Crosby (ankle) was a non-participant at practice on Thursday. (Source: Kevin Bolinger on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Crosby's ankle injury may be an issue. He was a full participant at practice on Wednesday, but he wasn't able to practice at all on Thursday because of it. Friday's practice will be more telling for his Week 8 status, but if he's out, that will be devastating for Las Vegas' defense.

Thayer Munford Jr. has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders. (Source: Raiders.com)
Fantasy Impact: Munford was limited in practice all week. He is seemingly on the more favorable side of questionable to play on Sunday.
Davante Adams (hamstring) is expected to miss Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Steelers. He missed Weeks 4 and 5 with the same injury. (Source: Jeremy Fowler on X)
Fantasy Impact: While he may have tweaked his hamstring, there is speculation that Adams is sitting out due to his trade request and unhappiness in Vegas. Without the top pass-catcher, the Vegas quarterback, whether it be Gardner Minshew or Aidan O'Connell, will look more toward Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers. Bowers will remain an elite tight end option, while Meyers will likely fall in the WR3 range.
Christian Wilkins underwent surgery to repair a Jones Fracture and is out indefinitely. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Wilkins will be placed on injured reserve by the Raiders. He'll miss at least the next four games after he was injured in Week 5.
Tyreik McAllister (shoulder) was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Paul Gutierrez on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: McAllister has not been much of a factor for the Raiders so far this year, but he may have an opportunity for a bigger role with Davante Adams (hamstring) expected to miss Week 5 and possibly get traded in the coming days or weeks. However, the 26-year old is dealing with a shoulder injury right now, so he may not be the guy to step up and see more work for the Raiders this week.
Decamerion Richardson has been ruled out for Week 4 against the Browns.
Fantasy Impact: The rookie Richardson has yet to make his NFL debut due to this lingering hamstring injury. Since the second-string rookie remains out, fellow right cornerback Sam Webb will be the backup behind starter Jakorian Bennett.
Divine Deablo has been ruled out for Week 4's matchup against the Browns due to an oblique injury and a concussion. (Source: Paul Gutierrez on X)
Fantasy Impact: Deablo had six total tackles in Week 3's loss to the Panthers, and his absence will leave an opening at the Will linebacker position against the Browns. Backup Amari Burney will likely see the start in this battle between 1-2 teams.
Tyree Wilson has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Fantasy Impact: Wilson was banged up in Week 1. He was able to log a full practice on Friday which likely leaves him on the more favorable side of questionable.
Malcolm Koonce suffered a season-ending knee injury during practice. (Source: Jordan Schultz on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Koonce suffered the injury during the last practice before Week 1. It is a big blow to the Raiders defensive line on the season.
Brock Bowers (foot) was a full participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Adam Caplan on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Bowers was struggling with a foot injury prior to Week 1, but it seems that he has recovered well. He made his NFL debut in Week 1 and put up a good game, and now he's practicing in full at the start of the week for the Raiders. Fantasy managers should be re-assured with this news and looking to start him in most PPR formats for the foreseeable future.
