2024 Fantasy Outlook
Minshew signed a two-year $25 million deal in March to join Las Vegas, where he competed with fellow quarterback Aidan O'Connell for much of the spring and summer before ultimately being named as the Week 1 starter. Minshew started 13 games last year with the Colts after rookie Anthony Richardson went down and was mostly his mediocre self. He was slightly more efficient for the Colts than O'Connell was for the Raiders, but Minshew still only ranked 25th in on-target percentage (70.4) while his 6.7 YPA was 23rd. Minshew can probably be trusted to take care of the ball better than O'Connell and has the veteran leadership traits that comfort coaches. He also is more mobile than O'Connell, who did not have even one scramble yard last season. Minshew will throw to veteran WRs Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers as well as young TEs Brock Bowers (a rookie first-round pick) and Michael Mayer (a second-round pick last year). Meanwhile, coach Antonio Pierce has made it clear he wants to emphasize the running game despite losing RB Josh Jacobs without signing or drafting a comparable replacement. Minshew must learn the playbook of new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, who presided over one of the league's worst passing offenses the last two years in Chicago before getting fired.

Keeping starting job for Week 11
Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said that Minshew will remain the team's starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Following the Raiders' 41-24 loss to the Bengals in Week 9, Pierce said that he would evaluate the team's quarterback situation during the Week 10 bye, according to Vic Tafur of The Athletic. Pierce has ultimately decided to stick with Minshew, with Pierce telling Gutierrez that Minshew gives the team "the best opportunity to move forward, and he has every opportunity to go out there and help us get to a win." Desmond Ridder will thus remain in a backup role behind Minshew, who had opened the season as Oakland's starter before losing the job to Aidan O'Connell in Week 6 and then regaining it after O'Connell suffered a fractured thumb in a Week 7 loss to the Rams.

After two years as the backup in Philadelphia (four starts), Minshew signed this offseason with Indianapolis where he could begin the year as the starter. Fourth overall pick Anthony Richardson will take over at some point, perhaps as soon as Week 1, but Minshew is a steady veteran who takes care of the ball (1.6 career INT percentage, 5th lowest since 2019) and can lead an offense. He doesn’t have a big arm but is effective throwing deep -- he completed five of eight attempts of 20-plus yards last season, and his career 56.4 percent on-target rate on such throws is second highest in the league since 2019 (min. 65 attempts). In Indianapolis, he’ll have Michael Pittman 2022 second-round pick Alex Pierce and rookie third-rounder Josh Downs to target at wide receiver, along with Jonathan Taylor out of the backfield and a likely committee at tight end. Minshew also has good instincts as a scrambler, though he lacks the size or speed to add much on designed runs. That could be enough for value in two-QB leagues if he ends up making starts.
