The Las Vegas Raiders have lost two games in a row to the Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Commanders following a Week 1 win over the new England Patriots.
However, things could turn around for them in Week 4 with a game against Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears.
From a fantasy football perspective, there are some solid options on the Raiders team.
Moe Moton of Bleacher Report named some fantasy football sleepers for Week 4, and Smith is on the list.
Here's what Moton wrote:
"Believe it or not, Geno Smith is tied for 11th in fantasy scoring among quarterbacks. He's under center for a pass-heavy offense that struggles mightily to protect him and open lanes for the ground game. Though the Raiders' aerial offensive production isn't sustainable with the number of hits their signal-caller takes in the pocket, Smith could be in line for a productive outing against the Chicago Bears' 27th-ranked pass defense."
The Bears' defense is also one that has allowed plenty of points, especially in fantasy, so that could bode well for Smith and the Raiders.
"Through three weeks, Chicago has allowed the third-most fantasy points to QBs, giving up eight passing touchdowns, which is the most in the league," Moton wrote.
Moton also has Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker as a fantasy sleeper for Week 4.
"Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker is flying under the radar in fantasy leagues and could be a solid flex option as Brock Bowers plays through a knee injury that has sapped his explosiveness. Tucker is the only Raiders pass-catcher with a touchdown reception. He scored three touchdowns last week, with two coming during garbage time."
The Bears' defense is ranked 27th in the league, and they allow a ton of points to fantasy players, so a Smith-Tucker stack could be fun.
"Averaging 16.2 yards per reception, Tucker can post a WR2-worthy stat line with a few receptions in a favorable matchup. Chicago is giving up the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers," Moton wrote.
Tucker, who was a third-round pick in 2023, set career-highs in Week 3, catching eight passes for 145 yards and all three Geno Smith touchdown passes.
Through three games, Tucker has 20 targets, so Smith has not hesitated to look his way, and their performance in Week 3 could be a sign of things to come in the new Chip Kelly offense.
