The Las Vegas Raiders and quarterback Geno Smith have agreed on a two-year extension at $66.5 million, guaranteed. Smith was acquired earlier this year from Seattle in exchange for a 2025 3rd round pick.

Smith brings a very deft deep threat to a Raiders offense that has been anemic since Derek Carr left. Smith is consistently a top 5 QB in deep-ball accuracy and completion percentage and is a massive upgrade in catchable ball rae over the Raiders’ QB’s in the last two seasons. These metrics will help the fantasy results of the Raiders’ receiving corps.

As it stands, Smith will be targeting Brock Bowers, Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, and Michael Mayer, with the prospect of adding to the WR room via the draft. A draft addition and handing the reigns to Smith will go a long way to making the Raiders relevant in fantasy again.
