Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Jalen Milroe

Wednesday, December 31, 3:41 PM

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll said that quarterback Geno Smith (ankle) will not play on Sunday against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in the Week 18 regular-season finale, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. "I hate closing the door on any opportunity, but it's going to be really hard for him," Carroll said. Smith suffered a serious ankle injury in the Week 17 loss to the New York Giants and won't suit up for a meaningless contest to close out the regular season. With the 35-year-old veteran wrapping up a brutal first year in the desert, backup Kenny Pickett is expected to start this weekend. Aidan O'Connell could also end up splitting time with Pickett against KC. Smith was one of the worst starting QBs in football in 2025, completing 67.4% of his 448 pass attempts for 3,205 yards, 19 touchdowns, and a league-leading 17 interceptions in 15 starts.

Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe was a healthy inactive for Week 7's matchup against the Texans for the second consecutive game. Milroe had a designed carry each in Weeks 1 and 3, but then fumbled on his lone opportunity in Week 5's loss to Tampa Bay and has since settled into the QB3 role behind Drew Lock. It remains to be seen if the third-rounder out of Alabama will be active again at some point, with how well starter Sam Darnold has played. Milroe remains a solid stash in dynasty leagues.
