Is Geno Smith Playing in Week 14?
Smith is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any unexpected setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

Should You Start or Sit Geno Smith in Week 14?
Every year we hear about quarterbacks doing a lot with a little. Justin Herbert has had his moments of viability despite limitations around him, and Jared Goff has had some strong fantasy days despite capped opportunity counts.
Has anyone done less with more than Smith?
He currently ranks second in the NFL in pass attempts and tied for 22nd in games with multiple touchdown passes. That almost feels like a made-up stat, but I promise you it’s not. Daniel Jones, Joe Flacco, and Andy Dalton are all quarterbacks with more multi-TD pass efforts this season — they’ve all been benched (or outright released).
At his disposal is a top-10 receiver duo in the league and an explosive backfield, but he just hasn’t made it work. Smith enters this week with four straight finishes outside of the top-20 fantasy signal callers; while I think he snaps that drought with only 26 teams in action this week, the Cardinals rank better than the league average in terms of the percentage of opponent possessions that end with a score.
Smith’s projection is always going to check in around 265 yards and one score, a production level that you can find elsewhere. I have him ranked behind the suddenly viable Will Levis this week, embracing some risk in favor of something of a ceiling.
