The Las Vegas Raiders will visit the Denver Broncos in Week 10. 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 Smith Playing in Week 10?
Smith is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
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 Smith in Week 10?
After back-to-back-to-back-to-back single-digit performances, Geno Smith hung 26.3 fantasy points on the Jaguars in one of the more entertaining games of Week 9.
Don’t care.
He’s followed the Justin Fields plan of sporadic production this season (this is his third game clearing 17 points), but doesn’t have access to the cheat code that is athleticism, and that has me assuming dud performances in neutral spots until I see something sustainable pointing in the opposite direction.
I’ve yet to see that, and I don’t expect to against one of the best defenses in the league, even with Patrick Surtain shelved. A player like this needs quick-hit ability through the air, and given that Smith has four deep completions over his past five contests, we are highly unlikely to get there.
