Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Emari Demercado

The Las Vegas Raiders continue to stand behind Geno Smith and have not had any serious discussions about benching him, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Smith has thrown nine interceptions this season, and he has two different games with three picks. Las Vegas reportedly wants to do a better job getting its rushing game going, as the team believes this will help Smith in the passing game. Of course, if the Raiders start to run the ball effectively and still get poor results from Smith, a quarterback conversation will be necessary. Smith's backup is Kenny Pickett, whom the Raiders acquired for a fifth-round pick this past summer.

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (ankle) is questionable to return to his team's Week 6 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Demercado had just one carry for one yard before getting injured. Even before he got hurt, it appeared that Demercado may have been behind both Michael Carter and Bam Knight in the pecking order for backfield touches in Arizona. If Demercado is unable to return, Carter and Knight would likely see all of the remaining backfield work in Week 6.
