Geno Smith Week 16 Outlook - Raiders at Texans

Pete Carroll has stated that the Raiders' offense could have Geno Smith back under center for Week 16. I don't care if Smith is starting or Kenny Pickett this week. I don't want to play the Raiders starting quarterback in fantasy lineups this week. Whoever it is will be in for a long day. Since Week 11, Houston has allowed the 14th-fewest passing yards per game, the seventh-fewest yards per attempt, the eighth-lowest passer rating, and the ninth-lowest success rate per dropback.
