Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Tua Tagovailoa

Friday, November 22, 7:12 PM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is in a great position to succeed against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12. The Cardinals are allowing 218.5 passing yards per game which is No. 21 in the league. The Seahawks were much more efficient as an offense and displayed balance in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. If the team made substantial changes during their Week 10 bye, then Smith should be able to take advantage of this positive matchup. The Cardinals roll into Seattle hot off a four-game winning streak and will be well-rested after a Week 11 bye. However, the Seahawks' receiving core should be fully healthy with wide receiver DK Metcalf off the injury report. Smith should be able to pass for over 200 yards and deliver a couple of touchdowns. In a week in which six teams are on a bye, Smith deserves to be in fantasy lineups.

Miami put up their season high in points in a game this season with their 34-19 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. The offense has scored 27-plus points in three of their last four games. This week presents a matchup against a New England Patriots unit that ranks 18th in total fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks this season.
