Should You Start or Sit Aidan O’Connell in Week 7?
From PFN Analyst Kyle Soppe
O’Connell averages 5.6 yards per pass this season and has as many interceptions as touchdown passes (two). His two highest-volume games came in tough spots (at Denver and vs. Pittsburgh), something that this certainly is not. However, without much receiver depth or a run game to keep the Rams honest, there just isn’t enough upside here, even in a plus matchup.
O’Connell doesn’t have a single rushing attempt this season, giving him essentially no room for error on a roster that doesn’t support such an outing.
