Kenny Pickett

Quarterback Geno Smith suffered a right shoulder injury Sunday during the Las Vegas Raiders' 24-17 loss to the Denver Broncos at Allegiant Stadium and was replaced in the fourth quarter by backup Kenny Pickett, who threw for 97 yards and a touchdown.

Four of Bech's targets were thrown to him by backup QB Kenny Pickett, who replaced QB Geno Smith (right shoulder) in the second half. Bech's upside is unknown, and largely in doubt, but he does seem to have a decent connection with Pickett. Bech could warrant boom-bust FLEX consideration against the Eagles in Week 15.

Raiders QB Geno Smith injured his right, throwing shoulder on the final play of the third quarter and was immediately taken to the locker room, thrusting Pickett into the starting lineup. Pickett took over on 3rd-and-7 from the Broncos' seven-yard line and eventually turned the ball over on downs. The journeyman quarterback showed a decent connection with rookie WR Jack Bech thereafter and eventually connected with WR Shedrick Jackson, Bo Jackson's nephew, for a 25-yard touchdown. It is Jackson's first career reception. Pickett is a potential QB2 against the Eagles next week.

Pickett completed eight of 11 passes for 97 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos. He added one rush for six yards.

This is a tough break for Smith, who entered the game with a foot injury. The Raiders' quarterback spent time with the Raiders training staff, getting abrasions on his right, throwing hand's ring and pinky fingers addressed before retaking the field for a productive drive in the second half. Unfortunately, Smith injured his right, throwing shoulder after guiding the offense into the Broncos' red zone on the same drive. He was quickly taken to the locker room, replaced by backup QB Kenny Pickett. Smith completed 13-of-21 passes for 116 yards and one touchdown and rushed once for four yards in the Raiders' Week 14 loss to the Broncos.
