Gardner Minshew II

The Raiders informed QB Gardner Minshew II he will be released.

The move will become official when the new league year begins next Wednesday. He threw nine touchdowns to ten interceptions in nine starts before losing his starting job to Aidan O’Connell. The Raiders are expected to bring in another quarterback this offseason.

Tashan Reed of The Athletic reported that Gardner Minshew “won’t be in the Raiders’ plans at quarterback.”

Fantasy Impact

Las Vegas can save $3 million against the cap by releasing Minshew. That can raise to $6 million if they used a post-June 1 designation on his release. Aidan O’Connell is the current starter, but the Raiders could address the position in free agency or in the draft.

Raiders QB Gardner Minshew II will miss the remainder of the season with a broken collarbone.

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.

Minshew connected with Brock Bowers and Ameer Abdullah on touchdown passes in the team's eighth loss of the season. Minshew and the Raiders will look to bounce back against a tough Broncos' defense in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact

There had been rumors of Desmond Ridder getting onto the field, but it will be Minshew drawing another start. He remains off the fantasy radar, but can support Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers.
