Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Dak Prescott

Tuesday, November 18, 12:57 AM

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith completed 27 of 42 passes for 238 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding 14 yards on four carries on the ground in Monday night's 33-16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The Raiders came out with a pass-heavy game plan with only eight designed running back carries all game, but Smith couldn't take advantage of a poor Dallas defense. His 42 pass attempts were the most since Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 35-year-old has mostly struggled in his first season in Las Vegas, throwing more interceptions (12) than touchdowns (11) and exceeding 300 yards passing just once, which came all the way back in Week 1. It doesn't get any easier for Smith in Week 12 against a tough Cleveland Browns defense.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (hip) was a full participant on Thursday after he was limited in Wednesday's session due to a hip injury, according to Clarence Hill Jr. The Cowboys downplayed Prescott's hip injury on Wednesday, even though he was limited in the walkthrough practice. The 32-year-old veteran signal-caller should be a full-go for a divisional battle this weekend against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. In the first meeting against Philly in Week 1 in a 24-20 loss, Prescott went 21-for-34 passing for a season-low 188 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions. There's no question that the Eagles have one of the better defenses in the league, so it would be a surprise if Prescott throws for four touchdowns like he did against the Raiders on Monday night. Still, he should be considered a low-end QB1 option with one of the best 1-2 punches at receiver in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.
