Chargers vs. Raiders: Best Thursday Night Football Player Props
Joshua Palmer Over 35.5 Receiving Yards (-143)
#Chargers coach Brandon Staley on Josh Palmer’s expected Week 15 workload, with the receiver returning from a multi-week knee injury:
“I don’t think that, like, a full, normal wide receiver load with his first game back, but you’ll see him in action.”

Chargers quarterback Easton Stick has to throw to a wide receiver. Right?
Keenan Allen, the Chargers top receiver, has been ruled out with a heel injury. Mike Williams has been out most of the year with a torn ACL.
Without Allen and Williams, Joshua Palmer will become the Chargers’ top option at wide receiver against the Raiders. Thursday night’s game will be Palmer’s first action since October 29. Palmer has been on the IR with a knee injury, but he practiced every day this week and will suit up against the Raiders.
His top competition for targets, Quentin Johnston, has been disappointing all season, so Palmer should dominate the target share even if he only plays 60% of the snaps.
Palmer had at least 60 receiving yards in four of five games before hitting the IR. Palmer should be able to surpass the low total of 35.5.
Aidan O’Connell Over 197.5 Passing Yards (-130)
Despite Raiders’ HC Antonio Pierce being noncommittal about which QB would start Thursday night vs. the Chargers, rookie QB Aidan O’Connell is expected to remain the starter for this week’s game, per source.

Burn all the tape of the Raiders’ offense performance in their 3-0 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14.
Even in defeat, Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell threw for 171 yards.
There have been rumors that interim head coach Antonio Pierce could make a change at quarterback if O’Connell struggles again. How about some motivation to bring out the best in O’Connell?
The Raiders should have success passing the ball against a Chargers defense surrendering the fourth-most passing yards per game (261.9). Since Week 6, seven of nine quarterbacks have thrown for over 200 passing yards against the Chargers. O’Connell adds his name to the list by the end of the game.
