The Las Vegas Raiders (1-4) will host the Tennessee Titans (1-4) in Week 6. 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.

Should You Start or Sit Geno Smith in Week 6?
For the third time in four games, Geno Smith threw multiple interceptions and he’s simply not threatening defenses down the field. Over the past two weeks, he’s misfired on seven of nine deep targets.
I like that he funneled more looks in the direction of Ashton Jeanty last week, but there’s no reason to look this direction in standard leagues. He completed as many passes to the Colts as the Raiders inside the red zone last week (seven attempts), further proof that his decision-making isn’t close to the level that we need from a QB who needs to pick up the vast majority of his points with his arm.
