Geno Smith

Geno Smith completed 16-of-23 passing attempts for 201 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Houston Texans.

Fantasy Impact

Smith had an uphill battle on Sunday, taking the Raiders on the road to face the NFL's best defense. He ended up playing decently well, finishing with two touchdowns in a narrow loss to the Texans. Still, fantasy managers should not have high hopes for him or Las Vegas' offense over the last couple games of the season.

Geno Smith will start for the Raiders on Sunday against the Texans.

Fantasy Impact

Smith will make his return from a one-game absence after sitting out last week. He is a low-end QB2 against a stout Texans defense.

Geno Smith (shoulder/back) practiced in a full capacity on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Smith missed last week's game while recovering from an injury, but he was able to log a full practice session on Wednesday and is expected to be back in the lineup this week. Fantasy managers still shouldn't have any real expectations for Las Vegas' offense moving forward and especially this week in a tough matchup against Houston's elite defense.

Geno Smith has a "good chance" to return in Week 16 after being ruled out this week.

Fantasy Impact

Smith was unable to practice all week due to a shoulder injury. It will be Kenny Pickett starting against his former team in the Eagles on Sunday with Smith having a chance to return next week.

Geno Smith (shoulder/back) did not take part in Las Vegas' practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

The Raiders are expecting Smith to be sidelined for Week 15 due to his shoulder/back issue. He wasn't able to practice at all on Wednesday, so it looks like he is truly a long-shot to play this week against the Eagles. Kenny Pickett will likely get the start in his absence, which is likely a lateral move for Las Vegas' fantasy options.
