Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or C.J. Stroud

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith (quadriceps) is not included on the Week 11 injury report as the team gets ready to face the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, according to the team's website. Smith was in some pain last Thursday night against the Denver Broncos when he suffered a bruised quadriceps, and he was even replaced in the game for a bit by Kenny Pickett. The 35-year-old eventually returned to finish the 10-7 loss, but he was hobbling around pretty good. The extra time off heading into Week 11 appears to have done the veteran QB some good, and he should be fine to play against Dallas on Monday after practicing in full on Wednesday. Smith has mostly been a liability for fantasy managers in his first year in Vegas, but he'll have some QB2 streaming appeal this week against a bad Cowboys secondary.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) has officially been ruled out for the team's Week 11 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Stroud suffered the injury when sliding in a Week 9 matchup with the Denver Broncos. Davis Mills will once again lead the offense as they face off with a Titans team they defeated 26-0 earlier this season. Mills leaned heavily on Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz last week, and will likely give them ample look again this week. Another name to watch in Week 11 is Jayden Higgins who hauled in five receptions for 42 yards and a touchdown last week.
