Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Breece Hall

Tuesday, September 16, 3:09 PM

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith struggled in prime time in the 20-9 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football. Smith got off to a bad start in this one, throwing an interception on the first play of the game and failing to lead the Raiders to a single touchdown all night against a suffocating Chargers defense. All in all, the 34-year-old veteran went 24-for-43 for 180 yards, no touchdowns, and three interceptions. He ran the ball five times for 20 yards and took three sacks. It was a very disappointing performance after Smith threw for 362 yards in a Week 1 win over the New England Patriots. While fantasy managers shouldn't be writing Smith off for the rest of the year, it's a reminder of why he's more of a matchup-based QB. Smith will get a better matchup in Week 3 against the Washington Commanders.

Week 2 didn't go as expected for running back Breece Hall and the New York Jets' offense. The 24-year-old exploded for 107 rushing yards in the team's season opener, notching his first 100-yard effort on the ground since Week 6 of last season. However, Buffalo's defense proved too much for quarterback Justin Fields, who seemed to regress after his superb outing against the Steelers. Now, it's unclear which version we'll get from week to week. It isn't all doom and gloom for Hall, as he's either tied for or outright been the team's second-leading target getter in both games. Furthermore, he's very clearly the No. 1 option out of the backfield. Expectations need to be tempered for the time being, but the fourth-year pro still has a clear path to production. He'll look to get back on track in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
