Geno Smith Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Raiders QB Geno Smith suffered a quad contusion in the fourth quarter of Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos, HC Pete Carroll said afterward. Smith battled through the injury but could barely move. Asked whether the injury could cost Smith time going forward, Carroll said, "I don’t know that. It’s a thigh bruise. It’s not like some other injuries, it’s not one that he can’t get back from." Smith gets 10 days to heal up before the Raiders host the Cowboys on Monday Night Football in Week 11. If Smith can't go, QB Kenny Pickett would get the start. And if you thought this offense stunk with Geno ...

Sunday's return by Raiders TE Brock Bowers just happened to coincide with the best fantasy day of the season for QB Geno Smith. The QB delivered 284 yards and a season-high 4 TD tosses on 29-of-39 passing in a narrow loss to the Jaguars. Smith enters Monday night's game as the eighth-best fantasy QB for Week 9, by ESPN scoring. And his three multi-TD games this year have come in the past three contests he played with Bowers. Of course, the game ended negatively for Smith when he failed to find a receiver for what would have been the game-winning 2-point conversion late in OT.

Raiders QB Geno Smith delivered another stinker in Sunday's loss to the Colts. He went 25-of-36 passing for 228 yards, 0 TDs, and 2 INTs. Smith accumulated 134 of those yards in the first half, which ended with a mere 20-3 deficit. The Colts tacked on another 20 points in the third quarter, yet Smith couldn't get any teammate more than 5 receptions or 62 yards by the end.

QB Geno Smith threw for 362 yards in his regular-season debut for the Raiders, with 1 TD and 1 INT. Smith connected on 24 of 34 passes, with WR Jakobi Meyers and TE Brock Bowers predictably his top targets. He also took four sacks and scrambled once. (Smith's other "rushing attempt" came on a game-ending kneel down.)

Raiders QB Geno Smith praised the offensive approach under new OC Chip Kelly.

According to ESPN’s Ryan McFadden, Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers and QB Geno Smith are starting to show signs of forming a strong connection. The two reportedly connected multiple times during Friday’s practice session.

The Raiders and QB Geno Smith have agreed to a two-year, $85.5 million extension with $66.5 million guaranteed, according to multiple reports. That tacks on to the final year of Smith's current deal to keep him signed in Vegas through the 2027 season. Smith will be 37 when this contract expires.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders for a third round pick. Raiders HC Pete Carroll coached Smith in Seattle, revitalizing Smith’s NFL career.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Seahawks WR DK Metcalf has requested a trade. Metcalf has one year remaining on his contract and just turned 27 in mid-December. He's reportedly seeking a new contract.

The Seahawks are hiring Klint Kubiak as their OC, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. It'll be Kubiak's third OC gig, following stints with the Vikings (2021) and Saints (2024). That Vikings squad finished 12th in total yards and 14th in points. The 2024 Saints got off to a hot start, scoring 91 points over the first two games of the season. But they averaged just 16.5 points per game the rest of the way, due at least in part to injuries to QB Derek Carr and the offensive line. Kubiak's Saints ranked 19th in neutral pass rate and 25th in pass rate over expected. The 2021 Vikings -- quarterbacked by Kirk Cousins -- finished 12th in neutral pass rate and 17th in pass rate over expected. The 2025 Seahawks figure to be a more balanced offense than last year's version, which ranked third in neutral pass rate and sixth in pass rate over expected.

The Seahawks fired OC Ryan Grubb. This one catches us by surprise. Seattle finished 14th in total yards and 18th in points in Grubb's lone season at the helm. He was one of the pass-heavier play callers in the league, with the Seahawks ranking seventh in pass attempts and eighth in yards. QB Geno Smith completed 70.4% of his passes at 7.5 yards per attempt, and WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba broke out for a 100-1,130-6 receiving line. We'll see who defensive-minded HC Mike Macdonald tabs as his next OC.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith (knee) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report. He’ll start Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings, and it doesn’t look like the knee will be a major factor. Smith still sits well outside QB1 territory in the Week 16 Rankings. He's finished outside the top 18 QBs in fantasy points in five straight.
