Desmond Ridder completed 12-of-18 passes for 101 yards in the Raiders’ 28-13, Week 14 loss to the Bucs.
Aidan O’Connell went down with a leg injury late in the second quarter. He was placed in an air cast and carted off the field, ending his day and possibly his season. With Garnder Minshew also done for the year, Ridder appears to be the Raiders’ starting quarterback for the final month of the season. Ridder almost instantly lofted a nightmare interception to Bucs cornerback Zyon McCollum after taking over, but McCollum didn’t complete the catch and the pick was overturned after review. Ridder ended the day with a dreadful 5.6 yards per attempt and no scores. This isn’t groundbreaking analysis, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere for a streaming quarterback, even in Superflex leagues.
