Jimmy Garoppolo Fantasy

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) is still in concussion protocol after missing Sunday's Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. He has now been in the protocol for a week. Head coach Josh McDaniels said the veteran signal-caller is still the team's starting quarterback when he returns from the injury. Rookie Aidan O'Connell threw for 238 yards and an interception in the Week 4 loss, but he did score a rushing touchdown on a QB sneak. Garoppolo's eventual return to the lineup should help Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers get back on track.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (head) won't play on Sunday against the Chargers. The veteran signal-caller is dealing with a concussion. While he practiced in a limited capacity during the week, he didn't clear protocol and didn't travel with the team to Los Angeles. Nonetheless, it appears Brian Hoyer will draw the start in Week 4 and might prove useful to those in deep, multi-quarterback formats against a Chargers defense that's struggled this year.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) is officially listed as questionable to face the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4 on Sunday. Garoppolo didn't practice on Wednesday but got in limited sessions on Thursday and Friday after suffering a concussion in the Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The key detail with the 31-year-old is that he has yet to clear the league's concussion protocol, giving him just one more day to do so before game day on Sunday. He's clearly made some progress, though. However, fantasy managers using Jimmy G in two-QB superflex leagues are in a pickle with the game in the late-afternoon slot on Sunday. If Garoppolo isn't cleared, Brian Hoyer or rookie Aidan O'Connell would get the start, which could be a disaster for the offense.
