Geno Smith is a solid streaming option at quarterback this week. Smith is the QB24 in fantasy points per game with two games of at least 24 fantasy points this season. He could add a third game to that ledger this week. Among 34 qualifying passers, Smith has been playing well, ranking ninth in yards per attempt, 12th in passing success rate, second in catchable target rate, and eighth in hero throw rate. In their last five games, the Raiders have allowed the eighth-most yards per attempt, the second-highest passing success rate, the highest passing touchdown rate, and the fifth-most EPA per dropback.

Geno Smith had his second three-touchdown game of the season on Sunday, completing 23-of-30 passes for 287 yards in a loss to the Dolphins. He also had an interception.

Smith's other three-TD game came against the Lions in Week 3. He's fared well against defenses with suspect secondaries. This week he gets a date with the Raiders, who entered Week 7 having allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to quarterbacks.

The emergence of rookie WR Omar Cooper Jr. gives Smith another playmaker to go along with WR Garrett Wilson.

Smith is a solid streaming option for Week 7.
