Smith completed 30 of 44 pass attempts for 285 yards and a touchdown while adding eight rushing yards on three attempts with a lost fumble in Sunday's 24-10 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Smith actually finished with decent results from a fantasy perspective when factoring in his inconsistent play to date, coupled with the brutal matchup on paper. The veteran signal-caller's poor decision-making and inaccuracy on deep attempts ultimately cost his team a shot at victory, but this was far from his worst fantasy score through 11 starts this year. Smith has thrown as many touchdowns as interceptions (13) over his disappointing run as the Raiders' starter, with Sunday's lost fumble keeping his TD:TO below 1.0. Fantasy managers should be wary of next Sunday's opponent after the Chargers picked off Smith three times when these two teams met back in Week 2.

Smith completed 27 of 42 pass attempts for 238 yards, one touchdown and one interception while gaining 14 yards on four carries in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
In the two games coming out of Las Vegas' bye week, Smith posted a four-score outing followed up by last week's forgettable showing against Denver (143 yards, INT). The veteran signal-caller presented a version of himself on Monday Night Football that falls right in between his recent Jekyll and Hyde performances. Smith used garbage time to pad his stats while tossing his 12th touchdown pass and 13th interception of the season. The 34-year-old's inconsistent play coupled with a matchup against the league's stingiest defense (167.0 passing yards allowed per game) make Smith a poor fantasy play against the Browns in Week 12.

Smith (quadriceps) isn't listed on the Raiders' Week 11 injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Smith suffered a thigh bruise last Thursday against the Broncos, but the issue was downplayed afterward by coach Pete Carroll. With Smith not listed on this Thursday's injury report, the QB will be good to go Monday night against the 3-5-1 Cowboys, who have dropped two straight contests, most recently a 27-17 loss to the Cardinals in Week 9 in which Jacoby Brissett completed 21 of 31 pass attempts for 261 yards and two touchdowns, while logging five carries for four yards and a rushing score.

Smith (quadriceps) is participating in practice Thursday, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith is dealing with a quad contusion sustained during Las Vegas' loss to the Broncos on Thursday Night Football in Week 10, so for him to be handling even limited practice reps is a positive sign. Thursday's official practice report will disclose Geno's activity level as he prepares to ramp up for a home matchup against the Cowboys on Monday night. At this stage, there doesn't appear to be serious reason for concern about Smith's availability.

Smith suffered a quad contusion in Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Broncos, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith played through the injury for most of the fourth quarter, but he drew a questionable tag in the final minutes of the game and was spotted with his quad area wrapped on the bench. He'll now have 10 days to recover before a Week 11 matchup against the Cowboys, and there doesn't appear to be concern about his availability for that matchup for the time being.

Smith completed 29 of 39 pass attempts for 284 yards, four touchdowns and an interception while taking five carries for nine yards in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Smith rebounded nicely from a historically poor performance against the Chiefs (67 passing yards, no touchdowns) in the Raiders' last appearance. The 34-year-old welcomed Brock Bowers (knee) back with open arms Sunday, hooking up in the end zone with his talented tight end on three separate occasions. The four passing touchdowns set a new single-game high for Smith since joining the silver and black this past offseason. It's been a true boom-or-bust situation for the veteran signal-caller in Las Vegas, as he has now finished with less than 200 passing yards in half of his eight starts. Managers should be wary of trusting Smith on a short week in a tough matchup against Denver on Thursday Night Football in Week 10.

Smith completed 10 of 16 passes for 67 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs. He added two rushes for one yard.
EDGE Analysis
The futility of the Raiders offense can be stated in many different ways, and Smith was at the center of the lack of production. The unit ran only two offensive plays in Chiefs territory, totaled only three first downs, and ran only 30 offensive plays, the final of which was the second-fewest in the Super Bowl era, per Josh Dubow of The Associated Press. Needless to say, it was a disastrous fantasy performance, and Smith has now thrown for less than 200 yards in four of his seven starts and has zero scores in three contests. He was also replaced by Kenny Pickett late in the game due to the score, but there is no indication that the team is considering a change at quarterback.
