Terrelle Pryor in the mix to start, fantasy owners should avoid

There’s a legitimate quarterback competition ongoing in Oakland, but the winner won’t help owners much. We break down the fantasy implications.

Ed Szczepanski-USA TODAY Sports

Terrelle Pryor completed 7-of-9 passes for 93 yards and one touchdown against Chicago in Oakland's third preseason game. He also rushed for 37 yards on four carries, breaking off a 25-yard touchdown run in third quarter.

Raiders head coach Dennis Allen is starting to look at all of his options at quarterback after another unimpressive performance from Matt Flynn, who threw two interceptions in six pass attempts Friday night.

Fantasy impact: Allen must be thrilled to have two quality options to lead his team into 2013. It’s hard to believe Flynn might play his way out of another starting gig, but that’s the way this competition is trending.

Pryor might not be starting under center in Week 1. However, it’s safe to assume we’ll seem him out there at some point. Flynn is not a good option for the Raiders offense. For fantasy owners, just about every Oakland player is a bad option. It’s best to look at other teams when you’re drafting.
