Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Lamar Jackson

Tuesday, November 18, 12:57 AM

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith completed 27 of 42 passes for 238 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding 14 yards on four carries on the ground in Monday night's 33-16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The Raiders came out with a pass-heavy game plan with only eight designed running back carries all game, but Smith couldn't take advantage of a poor Dallas defense. His 42 pass attempts were the most since Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 35-year-old has mostly struggled in his first season in Las Vegas, throwing more interceptions (12) than touchdowns (11) and exceeding 300 yards passing just once, which came all the way back in Week 1. It doesn't get any easier for Smith in Week 12 against a tough Cleveland Browns defense.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) has returned to practice on Thursday, according to Morgan Adsit of FOX Baltimore. Jackson was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to a new ankle injury. The 28-year-old two-time MVP also missed practice with a sore knee last Wednesday before returning to practice on Thursday and playing in the Week 11 win over the Cleveland Browns. The ankle is a new injury for Jackson, but it doesn't appear to be very serious, so he should be active this Sunday for a prime matchup against the two-win New York Jets. Jackson threw four touchdown passes in Week 9 in his return from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for multiple contests, but he has thrown only one touchdown and two interceptions in his last two games, and he has not had a rushing TD since Week 1. Despite a lackluster last two weeks throwing and running the football, Jackson is a prime bounce-back candidate this Sunday against the Jets.
