Smith could be a spot start in Week 8 against Las Vegas and in Week 10 against Buffalo. Week 8 has four teams on a bye, so you might need a fill-in. The Raiders are currently giving up 21.5 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, which is tied for the fourth-highest. Buffalo is allowing even more at 22.8.

Smith offers spot-start value in Weeks 8-10 against weak QB defenses amid bye weeks.

Geno Smith is a viable spot-start option in Week 8 against Las Vegas (allowing 21.5 fantasy points per game to QBs, tied for fourth-highest) and Week 10 against Buffalo (allowing 22.8 fantasy points per game). With four teams on bye in Week 8, Smith becomes a useful fill-in option for fantasy managers.
