Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Jordan Love

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.

It wasn't an amazing statistical day for Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love in the 27-20 victory in Week 11 over the New York Giants on Sunday, but he did manage to throw a touchdown pass for the first time since Week 8. Love finished the game going 13-for-24 passing for 174 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions while carrying the ball only twice for seven yards. The 27-year-old was sacked twice for a loss of 12 yards and also tossed a successful two-point conversion. He briefly left the contest due to a left-shoulder injury, but he was able to return and lead the Packers to their sixth win of the season. Love's TDs went to Josh Whyle and Christian Watson, who scored twice on the day. The fifth-year signal-caller has limited turnovers this year, but otherwise, he hasn't been anything special for fantasy managers. Going into a tough Week 12 matchup against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings (possibly without star RB Josh Jacobs), Love will be a midrange QB2 in fantasy.
