Geno Smith Positioned to Feast on Chargers' Secondary

Friday, September 12, 2:06 PM

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith (hamstring) practiced in full on Thursday and did not appear on the injury report ahead of a Week 2 matchup with the Chargers. Smith opened the year strong, finishing as the QB11 in standard formats after throwing for 362 yards while leading all quarterbacks in yards per completion (15.1). Chip Kelly's creative offense appears to be unlocking the best in Smith, positioning him as a steady low-end QB1/high-end backup option moving forward. This week's matchup offers upside, as the Chargers surrendered the 11th-most passing yards in Week 1, giving Smith a prime opportunity to exploit an underwhelming secondary.

Trevor Lawrence Upgraded Against Weak Bengals Defense

Saturday, September 13, 11:32 AM

The Jacksonville Jaguars could be in for a shootout with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2, with quarterback Trevor Lawrence succeeding in fantasy because of it. After a 26-10 blowout victory on the back of the defense and run game led to disappointing 10 point fantasy day, Lawrence will be looking to right the ship in a game where the game script should favor more passing. The Jaguars QB has always shown potential to succeed in fantasy with his arm talent and solid rushing ability, and now has elite weapons at his disposal. If he were to break out early this season, this week seems like the prime week to do so. Lawrence should be viewed as a high-end QB2 with QB1 upside this week against the Bengals.
