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. |

Las Vegas Raiders WR Jack Bech ended up with two receptions for 17 yards on three targets in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Link to storyLas Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers posted six receptions for 28 yards on eight targets in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
| Footballguys view: Bowers wasn't a complete bust in PPR leagues, but the arrow is pointing down for him and for the Raiders offense heading into a matchup against the meat grinder Texans defense. |
Las Vegas Raiders RB Dylan Laube ran twice for four yards in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles, while posting four kick returns for 99 yards.
Link to storyLas Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty rushed just nine times for 35 yards in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles, while adding four receptions for seven yards on six targets.
| Footballguys view: Any hope of Jeanty delivering a surprise game went out the window quickly as the Raiders offense was completely overmatched by the Eagles defense. Any team that survived with Jeanty in the lineup this week will have him on the bench against the Texans next week. |
Las Vegas Raiders QB Kenny Pickett completed 15-of-25 passes for 64 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles, his former team.
| Footballguys view: Pickett had trade value in the eyes of two different teams this year, but that probably won't happen again after this anemic performance. He won't be a coveted free agent in the offseason. |
Las Vegas Raiders DE Maxx Crosby posted four total stops, including three of the solo variety, with a sack, a tackle for loss and a quarterback hit in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith (back, shoulder) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Kenny Pickett will make just his second start since 2023, and his first ever for the Raiders. Facing the Eagles behind one of the league's worst offensive lines could make for a rough outing. There's hope he can keep the offense on schedule and get the ball to the Raiders' playmakers, but expectations for an already-stagnant unit are tempered without Smith. |

Las Vegas Raiders CB Kyu Blu Kelly (knee) left the Week 14 game against the Denver Broncos due to what head coach Pete Carroll said is a 'serious' knee injury, although he didn't offer specifics.
Link to storyLas Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith (hand, shoulder) left the Week 14 game against the Denver Broncos due to a right shoulder injury, as well as a cut to his right hand. Head coach Pete Carroll said Sunday, Dec. 7 that the shoulder 'locked up', but tests did not show any damage. He was 13-of-21 for 116 yards, one touchdown and four rushing yards before departing.
| Footballguys view: Smith and the Raiders had managed 131 yards of offense before his exit. He was 13-for-21 for 116 yards and a touchdown but had not led a scoring drive since the end of the first quarter. Smith has faced heavy criticism this season as the Raiders built a 2-10 record under Carroll entering the game. The Raiders recently fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, and the NFL fined Smith for flipping off spectators after a recent loss. Kenny Pickett replaced Smith against the Broncos and would start against the Eagles in Week 15 if Smith isn't ready. |
