The Las Vegas Raiders (2-4) will visit the Kansas City Chiefs (3-3) in Week 7. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Geno Smith.
Is Geno Smith Playing in Week 7?
Smith is not on the injury report. Check back here for more updates as we get closer to game time.
We’ll continue to monitor the Raiders’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Geno Smith in Week 7?
Geno Smith has thrown more touchdown passes than interceptions just once this season, and that doesn’t even begin to detail the struggles.
He’s just 3-of-10 when throwing deep over the past three weeks and is close to useless when pressured (24.8 passer rating courtesy of five interceptions and zero touchdowns). Behind an iffy offensive line and facing a defense that will have its ears pinned back for most of the night, Smith finishing as a top 25 QB this week would be an accomplishment.
