The Las Vegas Raiders will visit the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15. 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 15?
Smith (shoulder) won’t practice on Wednesday and is considered unlikely to start Sunday’s game against the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
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 15?
If this is the end of Smith’s career as a starting QB, it’s been a bumpy ride.
His foot injury entering Week 14 wasn’t enough to be mentioned on the final injury report. Still, he banged up his shoulder during the loss to Denver and is currently iffy moving forward.
It shouldn’t matter to you.
You’re playing Brock Bowers regardless of the QB play, and that’s not going to change. Smith has just two games with multiple passing scores since September and has been sacked more than three times per touchdown toss this season.
Things need to change in Vegas sooner rather than later if we are going to get value out of their two-star players, and perhaps we will get a glimpse into what is possible moving forward by the end of 2025.
