Although QB Geno Smith didn’t get the start, it’s no secret that first-year GM John Idzik hopes his second-round pick wins the job.

Fantasy Impact:

Of course he does. He drafted Smith. If this competition is close, the odds are that the team will go with the rookie. They have very little to gain by starting Sanchez unless he's clearly the better option.

CB Jakorian Bennett was placed on the IR, out for at least the next 4 games.

Nate Hobbs and Zamir White out tomorrow against the Chiefs, Alexander Mattison questionable.

Chiefs kicker Spencer Shrader is out.

Related Players: Ameer Abdullah, Sincere McCormick, Dylan Laube

Fantasy Impact:

The Raiders backfield is a mess, and it's going to be difficult to fire up Mattison, even if he does play. Consider him, or whichever eventual starter, a fringe RB3/4.
