Jimmy Garoppolo (back) returning to Raiders practice Thursday
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (back) is returning to practice on Thursday for Week 8 versus the Detroit Lions, per head coach Josh McDaniels.
McDaniels is "hopeful" Garoppolo will be available for Monday night's matchup after missing last week's loss to the Chicago Bears. Brian Hoyer started in place of Garoppolo, but he was replaced by Aidan O'Connell after throwing a pick-six in the second half.
Jimmy G is the QB14 in numberFire's Week 8 rankings and our models project him for 15.8 FanDuel points, with 262.4 passing yards, 1.26 touchdowns, and 0.9 interceptions. The Lions' pass defense ranks 16th based on numberFire’s opponent-adjusted NEP model, but they're allowing the eighth-most FanDuel points per game to quarterbacks.
