Geno Smith, who was booed in pregame introductions in Las Vegas, passed for 176 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions before leaving Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Giants early in the fourth quarter with the ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Kenny Pickett replaced him and completed both passes for 16 yards. Las Vegas (2-14) will secure the top pick with a loss next week to Kansas City, and Smith is unlikely to play because of what head coach Pete Carroll characterized as a high ankle sprain. The Raiders' skid reached 10 games, which matches last season's streak for the fifth-longest in franchise history. Smith, who's thrown a league-high 17 interceptions, has played a role in that. It will be an offseason of change for the Raiders, and Smith is likely to be part of that. |

Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Wednesday, Dec. 24.
| Footballguys view: Bowers has been bothered by this knee injury for some time, and the Raiders decided to shut him down with nothing left to play for. They've been short on talent over the last two years, but they've got an All-Pro level tight end in Bowers. It would be great if the team got the right quarterback and offensive coordinator to get the most out of his immense talent. |

Las Vegas Raiders DT JJ Pegues (hand) and OL Caleb Rogers (quadriceps) left the Week 16 game against the Houston Texans, and both players were unable to return.
Link to storyRaiders RB Ashton Jeanty, the sixth overall pick in the draft, had 24 carries for 128 yards with a touchdown run and added a 60-yard touchdown reception in a 23-21 loss to the Texans.
| Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Ryan McFadden, this is Jeanty's best performance of the season. Against Houston, the league's best defense, Jeanty once again showed why he still has a high ceiling despite an underwhelming rookie campaign. Jeanty became the first player with a 50-yard rushing touchdown and 50-yard receiving touchdown in the same game since Lamar Miller in 2015. While many fantasy investors will be wondering why we haven't seen more performances like this, nobody will complain that it came in Week 16, and we'll eagerly await a Week 17 game against the Giants. |

Confirming a previous report, Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith (shoulder, back) will start Week 16's game versus the Houston Texans, according to head coach Pete Carroll.
| Footballguys view: Smith is back in action, so there's a boost for the Raiders' passing attack. However, a matchup against the Texans' swarming defense means Smith should have a long day. Backup quarterbacks like Marcus Mariota, Brady Cook, and Gardner Minshew (who are all starting this week) should be better fantasy plays than Smith. |

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith (shoulder, back) practiced in full all week and no longer appears on the injury report for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Smith was dealing with injuries in the games leading up to Week 16. He is listed with shoulder and back issues, but knee and ankle problems also appeared to affect him. A week of rest should benefit the 35-year-old quarterback. He faces a tough matchup this week against the Texans and is ranked as our lowest starting quarterback. The silver lining, if there is one, is that fantasy managers can have more confidence in starting Brock Bowers again. |

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith (hand) could start Week 16, according to head coach Pete Carroll.
| Footballguys view: A clearly-not-100-percent Smith against the Texans elite defense is not good. Smith missed last week, and Kenny Pickett couldn't do much of anything against the Eagles. Downgrade all Raiders pass-catchers no matter who is starting. It's a little better with Smith over Pickett, but this matchup is just plain bad for the Raiders. |
