Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Joe Burrow

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.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) and defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip) are both inactive ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite that, both players appear to be heading in the positive direction. Burrow was able to get through limited practice sessions all week. It sounds like he's still multiple weeks away, but the fact he's practicing is a positive step forward. Hendrickson missed practice all week and won't suit up for the second straight game. However, the Bengals have decided not to place him on the injured reserve. It sounds like he's currently week-to-week, but he might not be lost for the season.
