Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Shedeur Sanders

Saturday, November 22, 12:51 PM

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith had an underwhelming game in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys, completing 27 of 42 pass attempts for 238 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Across 10 games, the 35-year-old has completed 66.3% of his pass attempts for 2,082 yards, 12 touchdowns, and a league-high 13 interceptions. Smith has also been sacked on 9.1% of his drop-backs as he plays with a Raiders offensive line that has been hit hard by both injuries and underperformance. The job won't get any easier for Smith in Week 12, as he'll take on star edge rusher Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns. Through 11 weeks, the Browns have allowed the fewest passing yards (1,874) and recorded the fifth most sacks (32) in the NFL. Even in two-quarterback formats, Smith profiles as a player for fantasy managers to avoid in Week 12.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders made his first career start in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders and was named the starter again in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers. Fellow rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel cleared concussion protocol, but head coach Kevin Stefanski will stick with the rookie fifth-rounder after he showed some positive moments in their Week 12 win. Sanders completed 11 of 20 passes for 209 yards with one touchdown and one interception, and took only one sack. It wasn't the greatest performance, with his touchdown coming on a screen pass to Dylan Sampson, who took it to 66 yards to the house, but there were things to build on. He has appeal as a QB2 in deeper leagues in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers.
