Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Josh Allen

Thursday, November 13, 6:50 PM

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith (quadriceps) is not included on the Week 11 injury report as the team gets ready to face the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, according to the team's website. Smith was in some pain last Thursday night against the Denver Broncos when he suffered a bruised quadriceps, and he was even replaced in the game for a bit by Kenny Pickett. The 35-year-old eventually returned to finish the 10-7 loss, but he was hobbling around pretty good. The extra time off heading into Week 11 appears to have done the veteran QB some good, and he should be fine to play against Dallas on Monday after practicing in full on Wednesday. Smith has mostly been a liability for fantasy managers in his first year in Vegas, but he'll have some QB2 streaming appeal this week against a bad Cowboys secondary.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 28 of his 40 pass attempts for 306 passing yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 10 loss against the Miami Dolphins. He also rushed for 31 yards, took three sacks, and lost a fumble. The loss and two turnovers are a major blemish on Allen's 2025 statistics, but he offered his fantasy managers some relief with two touchdowns and over 300 yards. For the most part, managers won't care whether the Bills win or lose, as long as their quarterback continues to post solid fantasy performances. Nevertheless, he'll look to clean things up ahead of Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Allen should still be trusted as a strong QB1 in fantasy football.
