Las Vegas Raiders QB Kenny Pickett finished 1-of-4 for three yards with no touchdowns and one interception in Week 18 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. He also rushed for nine yards on his only carry before he was replaced at the end of the first quarter.
Huddle Up: In his defense, Pickett was somewhat limited by the same supporting cast that hindered Geno Smith for most of the second half of the season. With that said, he recorded twice as many sacks (two) as he did completions while barely moving the offense. Las Vegas could be undergoing some sweeping changes in the offseason, meaning Pickett could be looking for a job again sooner than later. It is also safe to say his chances of holding even a backup job in the NFL are running out.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Kenny Pickett completed 2-of-2 passes for 16 yards, no touchdowns or interceptions in Week 17 against the New York Giants in place of the injured QB Geno Smith (ankle).
Huddle Up: Pickett came on in the fourth quarter after Smith reportedly suffered a high-ankle sprain. That's not an easy injury to recover from, so don't be surprised to see Pickett as the starting quarterback in the Week 18 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Only those in the deepest of fantasy leagues, and DFS players looking for a low-cost value need to pay him any mind.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith (ankle) completed 20-of-28 passes for 176 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Week 17 against the New York Giants before suffering a high ankle sprain in the fourth quarter, head coach Pete Carroll said Sunday, Dec. 28. QB Kenny Pickett finished up.
Huddle Up: If Smith cannot go, and a high-ankle sprain is not easy to quickly shake off, Pickett is likely to get the start in the regular-season finale against the Kansas City Chiefs.

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.
Huddle Up: Pickett was making the start in place of the injured Geno Smith, and he had to face a team which knew him well. The results were horrendous, and hopefully you didn't start him in fantasy leagues, even those which require two starting signal callers.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Kenny Pickett replaced QB Geno Smith (shoulder) during the Week 14 game against the Denver Broncos and completed eight of his 11 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown in a 24-17 loss.
Huddle Up: Smith's injury isn't considered serious, but if he misses additional time, Pickett would likely be under center. At best, he would be a low-end QB2.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith completed 10-of-16 passes for 67 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. QB Kenny Pickett was inserted into the lineup in his place.
Huddle Up: Smith has been terrible lately, and it wouldn't be shocking to see the Raiders seriously consider starting Pickett going forward. To be fair, Brock Bowers has been sidelined, and Jakobi Meyers was out, so it was Tre Tucker and a bunch of other guys in there for Smith. Either way, the Las Vegas starting quarterback is a low-end QB2 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams.
