Raiders QB Geno Smith Practices Fully, Set for Week 16 Return

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith (shoulder/back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, setting the stage for his return to the lineup Sunday against the Texans after missing Week 15. Coach Pete Carroll had expressed optimism about his return. Smith, who was inactive last week as Kenny Pickett struggled in a 31-0 loss, stated he's "expecting to win a lot of games here." He should be back under center but isn't a fantasy option against Houston's top-ranked QB defense, with the Raiders implied for only 11.75 points.
