Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Jayden Daniels

Saturday, November 15, 2:05 PM

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith hasn't had his best season through nine games and is coming off another tough performance in Week 10 at the Denver Broncos. Smith completed 16 of 26 passes for 143 yards and an interception, while also taking a season high six sacks. The 35-year-old came out of the game briefly for Kenny Pickett due to a bruised quadriceps injury, but was able to return and finish the game. Smith had the mini-bye after playing on Thursday night to rest the injury and heads into Monday night without an injury designation. The veteran hasn't been a playable fantasy option in most leagues in his first year in Las Vegas, but he has appeal as a QB2 streamer against a poor Dallas Cowboys defense that has allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks on Monday night. Smith ranks as RotoBaller's QB18 for Week 11.

NBC Sports' JP Finaly reports that Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) will not travel with the team to Madrid to take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 11 this Sunday. Although Daniels' left-elbow dislocation isn't as serious as initially feared, he will miss a second straight game this weekend and will be re-evaluated after the team's Week 12 bye. The 24-year-old has not been placed on Injured Reserve, but the Commanders are still trying to determine if the second-year signal-caller will be able to play again this year after injuring his elbow in the Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The good news is that Daniels won't need surgery, and he didn't suffer any ligament damage to his non-throwing arm. Fantasy managers should consider him a long shot to make his return in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos, and Daniels' availability the rest of the way could be determined by the team's standings in the NFC.
