Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with his broken thumb, according to NFL Network. He'll be placed on IR but should be able to return this season. Vegas will now turn back to QB Gardner Minshew, who's completed 65.5% of his passes at 6.7 yards per attempt with four TDs and eight INTs this season. Consider it a lateral move for the Raiders offense.

Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Steelers. With WR Davante Adams (hamstring) already ruled out, Vegas will be down its top two WRs. The team elevated WRs Alex Bachman and Kristian Wilkerson from the practice squad. They'll join Tre Tucker, D.J. Turner, and Tyreik McAllister in the WR corps. Tucker is the best bet for targets and worth a look as a WR4 or Flex in fantasy lineups. TE Brock Bowers should also be in for lots of volume tomorrow. But this passing game figures to struggle mightily against a quality Steelers defense.

Raiders WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is not expected to play vs. the Steelers this weekend, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Vegas has no reason to risk a setback with Adams' hamstring as they look to move him ahead of the November 5 trade deadline. His absence will again leave WR Jakobi Meyers, TE Brock Bowers, and WR Tre Tucker as the Raiders' top three targets. Meyers leads the team with 19 targets on a big 31.1% share over the past two weeks. Bowers has 15 targets on a 24.6% share.

TE Brock Bowers, WR Jakobi Meyers, and WR Tre Tucker are candidates to pick up extra work.
