Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Jacoby Brissett

Sunday, November 2, 9:09 PM

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith had arguably his best game in a Raiders uniform in his team's 30-29 overtime Week 9 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 35-year-old completed 29 of 39 pass attempts for 284 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. Smith has mostly struggled so far this season. Heading into Week 9, he had thrown for 1,417 yards, seven touchdowns, and 10 interceptions across seven games played, leading to some questions about his job security in Las Vegas. Smith likely put those questions to bed for at least one week with his standout performance against Jacksonville. Still, Smith will remain tough for fantasy managers to trust in Week 10, as the Raiders have a difficult road matchup against their division rival, the Denver Broncos.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett is set to start another game, and he draws a favorable matchup. The veteran QB has started the last two games and amassed 599 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception while throwing 52-for-80 and 9 carries for 45 yards in that time. Despite going 0-2, Brissett has looked better than Kyler Murray this season and has a 97.7 passer rating compared to Murray's 88.6. In their Week 9 matchup, the Dallas Cowboys give up the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks at 24.93 per game and have allowed 20 passing touchdowns compared to just four interceptions. With the receiving corps ready to play, Brissett comes in as a high-end QB2 and could be a solid streaming option for fantasy managers needing a fill-in.
