Raiders' Geno Smith: Dealing with shoulder injury
Geno Smith sustained a right shoulder injury during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos, Ryan McFadden of ESPN reports.Following the game, coach Pete Carroll said that Smith's shoulder "locked up" after he completed a pass late in the third quarter, which paved the way for Kenny Pickett to play the remainder of the contest. In terms of Smith's Week 15 status, Carroll noted that an early test revealed that the QB (who also sustained a cut on his right hand versus Denver) had avoided serious damage to his shoulder, while adding that he'll lean toward starting the veteran signal-caller Nov.14 against the Eagles, health permitting.

Raiders' Geno Smith: Tosses two TDs to Bowers
Geno Smith completed 18 of 23 passes for 165 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Chargers. He also rushed twice for minus-6 yards and fumbled once but recovered it.Smith connected with Brock Bowers for a pair of six-yard touchdowns but also threw his 14th interception, which is tied with Tua Tagovailoa for the highest interception total in the NFL. This was only Smith's second multi-touchdown passing performance in his last eight starts, but he likely did enough to maintain the starting quarterback role in Week 14 against the elite Broncos defense. The 2-10 Las Vegas Raiders also have Kenny Pickett on the roster and got third-string quarterback Aidan O'Connell back from a preseason wrist injury prior to their Week 12 loss to the Browns.

Raiders' Geno Smith: Good volume in tough matchup
Geno Smith completed 30 of 44 pass attempts for 285 yards and a touchdown while adding eight rushing yards on three attempts with a lost fumble in Sunday's 24-10 loss to Cleveland.Smith actually finished with decent results from a fantasy perspective when factoring in his inconsistent play to date, coupled with the brutal matchup on paper. The veteran signal-caller's poor decision-making and inaccuracy on deep attempts ultimately cost his team a shot at victory, but this was far from his worst fantasy score through 11 starts this year. Smith has thrown as many touchdowns as interceptions (13) over his disappointing run as the Las Vegas Raiders' starter, with Sunday's lost fumble keeping his TD:TO below 1.0. Fantasy managers should be wary of next Sunday's opponent after the Chargers picked off Smith three times when these two teams met back in Week 2.

Raiders' Geno Smith: Mixed bag in primetime loss
Geno Smith completed 27 of 42 pass attempts for 238 yards, one touchdown and one interception while gaining 14 yards on four carries in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.In the two games coming out of Las Vegas' bye week, Smith posted a four-score outing followed up by last week's forgettable showing against Denver (143 yards, one INT). The veteran signal-caller presented a version of himself on Monday Night Football that falls right in between his recent Jekyll and Hyde performances. Smith used garbage time to pad his stats while tossing his 12th touchdown pass and 13th interception of the season. The 34-year-old's inconsistent play coupled with a matchup against the league's stingiest defense (167.0 passing yards allowed per game) make Smith a poor fantasy play against the Browns in Week 12.

Geno Smith (quadriceps) isn't listed on the Las Vegas Raiders' Week 11 injury report.Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Smith suffered a thigh bruise last Thursday against the Broncos, but the issue was downplayed afterward by coach Pete Carroll. With Smith not listed on this Thursday's injury report, the QB will be good to go Monday night against the 3-5-1 Cowboys, who have dropped two straight contests, most recently a 27-17 loss to the Cardinals in Week 9 in which Jacoby Brissett completed 21 of 31 pass attempts for 261 yards and two touchdowns, while logging five carries for four yards and a rushing score.
