Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, Steve Buchanan and Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they think about the latest injuries to Zamir White (groin) and Jakobi Meyers (ankle).
The Raiders can’t catch a break. As the Davante Adams (hamstring) trade request saga rolls on, the on-field product remains awful. Gardner Minshew II ($4,900) has been replaced by Aidan O’Connell ($4,900) at quarterback, but it might not make a difference this week against a crushing Steelers defense. Now, with two of their better offensive weapons questionable for Sunday’s game, things are looking very dire in Las Vegas.
Is there any reason to believe in the Raiders? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) shared their thoughts on the Silver and Black for Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- Once again, Steve can’t find anything positive on this Raiders offense. A date with T.J. Watt and company means there is nobody he’s excited to start on this team.
- O’Connell struggled to get the ball out quickly last season. Over a limited sample size in 2024, it’s been more of the same. He’s been under pressure on nearly half of his drop-backs, completing just five of thirteen pass attempts for 43 yards (3.3 yards per attempt).
- The only Las Vegas player Meghan and Steve could talk themselves into starting is Brock Bowers ($6,000). Pittsburgh’s defense giving up the 15th-most DK fantasy points to tight ends.
