Geno posts 9.0 YPA in Jets debut, takes zero sacks

Geno Smith

NYJ Quarterback #7

Player Stats

Geno Smith completed 19-of-24 passes for 215 yards in the Jets’ 23-10, Week 1 win over the Titans.

Smith “added” six rushes for seven yards. Although it was not a productive day in fantasy football, it was a highly encouraging one in “real life.” At least for one game, the Jets’ blocking was 10x better than what Smith experienced in Las Vegas last season, and he took advantage by taking zero sacks and hitting several down-field passes to his talented skill corps. Three different receivers generated gains of 30-plus yards, but Omar Cooper Jr.'s was more of a catch-and-run. Unfortunately, the rookie injured his ankle in the process. Smith is going to be a “highs and lows” quarterback in even the best of years, but there is now reason to believe 2026 will not be all lows like 2025 was with the Raiders. The Packers will be a tougher opponent for the Jets’ home opener in week 2.

Geno Smith

NYJ Quarterback #7

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Geno Smith completed 8-of-15 attempts for 119 yards and a touchdown in the Jets’ Week 4 loss to the Bears.

The Jets had the ball for a mere 17 minutes, as the Tyson Bagent-led Chicago offense dominated time of possession from start to finish. Smith, who had a combined 58 pass attempts over his past two outings, struggled against consistent pressure from the Bears front seven. His only highlight of the day came on a 58-yard touchdown strikes to Isaiah Williams in the fourth quarter. Smith should be a superflex option next week against the Browns. The return of Adonai Mitchell (finger) would boost Smith’s ceiling.
Geno Smith

NYJ Quarterback #7

Geno Smith completed 31-of-37 passes for 321 yards and three touchdowns in the Jets’ 31-24, Week 3 loss to the Lions.

Smith also ran for 12 yards and completed one of his two two-point conversion attempts. The sacks, of which he took five, were an issue, but it was an otherwise flawless game from the veteran passer. He got particularly hot in the second half, getting points on the board in three of his four drives after the break. Smith was unfortunately sacked and lost the football on the final drive of the game, giving Detroit the win. The Jets don’t look like a team that is going to win many games this year, but it’s not because of Geno. Smith will be a viable Superflex option when he takes on the Bears next week.
Geno Smith

NYJ Quarterback #7

Geno Smith completed 27-of-41 passes for 247 yards and a touchdown in New York’s 20-17, Week 2 loss to the Packers.

The Jets weren’t able to make many big plays in this one. Geno’s longest completion was a 43-yard connection to Breece Hall that Hall caught three yards beyond the line of scrimmage. There was not another pass completion longer than 17 yards on the day. That being said, Geno didn’t make many bad decisions and took what the Packers’ defense was giving him. The offensive line provided no push in the running game, so the Jets may need to let Geno play more aggressively if they’re going to put up more points. That could start in Week 3 against a Lions team that figures to score a lot of points.
Cade Klubnik

NYJ Quarterback #10

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Cade Klubnik will be the team’s QB2 to start the regular season.

What this means is that Geno Smith has plenty of job security. Klubnik in the preseason completed 21 of 34, passes for 190 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception while taking four sacks. Klubnik would be a marked downgrade from Smith if the veteran misses time in 2026.
Geno Smith

NYJ Quarterback #7

Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich said he’s been “so impressed” with Geno Smith’s play.

Reich has reportedly added wrinkles to the offense he deployed as head coach of the Colts and Panthers. At both of those stops his offenses were near the bottom of the league in most basic offensive metrics. Smith, meanwhile, has looked sharp as the team’s starting quarterback throughout training camp and in limited preseason snaps. He’ll look to bounce back from a nightmarish statistical 2025 season in Vegas. Jets players, including Garrett Wilson, told The Athletic that they have enjoyed the “player empowerment” that comes along with Reich’s coaching style and his offensive scheming, which leaves room for improvisation. The Jets offense could be functional as long as Smith, 35, is healthy and upright.

SNY’s Connor Hughes reports Geno Smith (foot soreness) will start Friday’s preseason game against the Steelers.

Smith will undoubtedly only play a series or two, but it’s confirmation he’s over the “soreness” that held him out last weekend. Smith would have reportedly played through the “injury” during the regular season, so it was never believed to be serious. Any injury is worth noting for a 35-year-old player coming off a rough, rough year, but this one is in the rear-view mirror.

Jets QB Geno Smith (foot soreness) will not play in Friday’s preseason game against the Buccaneers.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that the team is not concerned about Smith’s foot soreness, writing, “if this was a regular-season game, he’d be a go.” Smith has reportedly been pushing the ball downfield in practice. Those hoping to catch a glimpse of the Jets’ passing attack will have to check back next week to see if the foot issue has been resolved. Rookie QB Cade Klubnik gets the start tonight.
Geno Smith

NYJ Quarterback #7

NBC Sports’ Connor Rogers reports Geno Smith in training camp has shown “consistent effort ... to challenge all three levels of the field.”

Rogers said Smith in a recent camp practice challenged the Jets secondary downfield enough to open up short-area opportunities for his pass catchers. “He wants to push the ball down the field to the WRs and hopefully that opens up the quick underneath throws,” Rogers said, adding that the Jets tight ends and rookie WR Omar Cooper were functioning as the main short-area pass catchers. Coming off a disastrous 2025 campaign in Vegas, Geno will look to bounce back with the Jets this season. During his run with the Seahawks, Geno was among the league’s most accurate passers.

ESPN’s Rich Cimini reports Geno Smith’s assault allegations case has been declared “inactive” by police.

No charges are being brought and future action is contingent on new information or evidence being brought forward, per a police spokesman. Police were reportedly unable to determine the primary aggressor in the physical altercation. Smith’s home camera did not show any physical altercation occur between Smith and a woman. While it’s possible that there is more evidence to be seen, it seems safe to proceed as if there’s no reason to believe Smith will be held liable for whatever occurred here.

The Davie, Fla. police department confirms the assault allegations against Geno Smith are being “further investigated.”

“We were informed yesterday evening that, during review, it was determined that this case is being further investigated by detectives,” the department said in a Tuesday morning statement. “It is active and we cannot release any additional information at this time.” The department had been sending mixed messages, saying it was “not an active case” but “still being reviewed.” We now know it is indeed still being investigated, leaving the situation very much up in the air. There will likely be another update before the week is through.

Brian Thomas Jr. failed to catch any of his three targets in the Jaguars’ Week 5 win over the Eagles.

This game started with Jaguars defensive end Bryan Thomas Jr. getting ejected on the opening kickoff. He would go on to catch as many passes as his wide receiver doppelganger. BTJ nearly saved face with a late touchdown, but he failed to drag his back foot and stepped out of bounds for an incompletion. Josh Cameron, the team’s WR4, saw six targets. Thomas Jr. simply doesn’t have much of a role in this offense anymore. He will be the subject of trade speculation in the coming weeks. That seems to be his only path to meaningful fantasy production.

DeVonta Smith was out again this week, leaving the Eagles to spread his targets around to several role players. Wicks led the team’s wideouts in targets, but it was Dallas Goedert who paced the team. On the back of one long touchdown catch, Darius Cooper led the team in receiving yards. Wicks is good for the occasional big play but isn’t a consistent enough player to be a solid fantasy option. He will be a deep FLEX option for Week 6 versus the Panthers.

Patriots OT Will Campbell (knee) exited in Week 5 against the Raiders.

Campbell had his leg rolled on in the second quarter and was down in obvious pain for a while before being helped off the field. Campbell was taken to the locker room for further evaluation and seems unlikely to return today. An extended absence for Campbell would be a tough blow for Drake Maye and the New England passing attack.

Dameon Pierce rushed 11 times for 14 yards in the Eagles’ Week 5 loss to the Jaguars.

Pierce “added” two catches for -2 yards. He took over as the Eagles’ lead back after Will Shipley went down with a foot injury in the first half. Carson Steele did not see the field for a single offensive snap. Pierce would presumably in line for a workhorse role in Week 6 if Shipley and Saquon Barkley are both out, but his efficiency today speaks for itself. This isn’t an offense capable of opening running lanes, nor is Pierce a back who can make a lot out of a little. Pierce is a low-priority waiver wire add for Week 6.

Darius Cooper caught 2-of-3 passes for 71 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles’ Week 5 loss to the Jaguars.

Cooper has been a touchdown magnet this year, scoring three times on five catches before today’s explosion. He broke loose against the Jags in the second quarter with a 62-yard grab. Cooper beat his man deep and his adjustment to the throw, which was thrown back toward the center of the field, put him in open space with a full head of steam. He ran untouched into the end zone. Cooper’s absurd touchdown efficiency can’t be sustained, but he is developing into a meaningful deep threat for a struggling Philly passing attack. He will at least warrant some FLEX consideration if DeVonta Smith remains out for Week 6 against the Panthers.

Trevor Lawrence completed 24-of-39 passes for 331 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the Jaguars’ 19-17, Week 5 win over the Eagles.

Lawrence gave fantasy managers what they needed with a solid box score, but he was not the reason the Jags won this game. Lawrence struggled under pressure, throwing one ugly interception while putting the ball on the ground twice via sack-fumbles. Both were recovered by the Jags. The offense was also a catastrophe in the red zone, though a series of penalties and bizarre play calls are largely to blame there. Down by one with eight seconds left, it looked like the team’s struggles on offense would be too much to overcome. Instead, Ameer Abdullah returned a kickoff 53 yards to set up a walkoff field goal from Cam Little. If the Jags can clean things up after an uncharacteristically sloppy game, Lawrence will remain a mid-range QB1 for Week 6 versus the Texans.

Parker Washington caught 6-of-9 targets for 124 yards and two touchdowns in the Jaguars’ Week 5 win over the Eagles.

Coming off a pair of quiet weeks, Washington paid off for fantasy managers early with a 51-yard score in the first quarter. It was somehow nowhere close to his best play of the day. Washington scored his second touchdown on a falling, one-handed grab in the end zone from 27 yards out near the end of the game. The grab was reminiscent of Odell Beckham’s famous touchdown catch. Washington remains the most talented and most involved receiver on the Jags. He will be a high-end WR2 versus the Texans next week.

KC Concepcion suffered a concussion in the first quarter of the Browns’ Week 5 game against the Jets and will not return.

Making a spinning first quarter grab, Concepcion took a high hit from Minkah Fitzpatrick, who was flagged for a personal foul. It was the kind of hit the NFL is trying to legislate out of the game, but it wasn’t necessarily dirty. It was extremely unfortunate, as Concepcion did appear to be briefly out cold. He thankfully made his way to his feet and to the locker room unassisted, but he was ruled out before even undergoing a formal evaluation. He will now be highly questionable for Week 6 against the Ravens. Concepcion’s loss will mean more routes for beleaguered Jerry Jeudy.
