Geno Smith gets up to 17 completions in Week 5 W

Geno Smith

NYJ Quarterback #7

Player Stats

Geno Smith completed 17-of-30 passes for 182 yards and a touchdown in the Jets’ 17-12, Week 5 win over the Browns.

Smith “added” five carries for seven yards. He also lost a fumble. Coming off a generationally bad Week 4 clunker against the Bears, Smith was hardly outstanding in rainy MetLife Stadium conditions, though he was superior to Deshaun Watson. Not that you would have noticed in real time. Smith fumbled “just” once compared to Watson’s four, also taking “only” four sacks to Watson’s staggering eight. Like Watson, Smith also lost a key pass catcher to a concussion, with Kenyon Sadiq going down in the third quarter. Both before and after Sadiq’s injury, the Jets mostly rode the run, with Braelon Allen turning his 24 carries into a strong 116 yards. Smith has predictably faded a bit after his relatively “hot start,” while he now has a tough Week 6 road test in the reviving Patriots. Smith’s decent weapons — which will hopefully include Adonai Mitchell next week — keep him in the QB2 mix, but only as a low-end option.

Geno Smith

NYJ Quarterback #7

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Geno Smith completed 23-of-30 passes for 287 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in the Jets’ 28-25, Week 7 loss to the Dolphins.

Smith posted another impressive box score and was almost perfect in this game, but his few mistakes were extremely impactful. The first was a red zone interception where Dolphins safety Michael Taaffe simply read Smith like a book and jumped the throw for an easy interception. The second catastrophic blunder was a 12-yard sack at the goal line that forced the Jets to settle for a field goal. Smith simply stared down Chop Robinson as the EDGE rusher ran straight at him for an easy sack. Smith isn’t at risk of losing his job anytime soon, but he needs to get back on track against the Raiders next week before taking on the Chiefs and Bills in the following weeks. Smith will be a mid-range QB2 for Week 8.
Geno Smith

NYJ Quarterback #7

Geno Smith completed 20-of-30 passes 252 yards, one touchdown and an interception in the Jets’ 26-19, Week 6 loss to the Patriots.

Smith was missing Adonai Mitchell for the fourth consecutive contest, but he found returning rookie first-rounder Omar Cooper Jr. for a sizzling 6/103/1 on seven targets. That was a necessary development with Garrett Wilson being limited to 4/44 as he was hounded by Christian Gonzalez. The 252 yards were Smith’s second most of the season, though his first interception of 2026 was a dreadful, costly mistake in the fourth quarter. He threw it in Keyon Sadiq’s direction, but Charles Woods ran the rookie tight end’s route for him. Disappointing, though we now have six games of evidence that Smith isn’t the bottom-three QB he appeared to be amidst the Raiders’ 2025 fiasco. Things could also get better if Mitchell soon returns and forms a legit trio with Wilson and Cooper. Smith won’t rise above mid-range QB2 status even for premium matchups, but he does have a primo Week 7 spot in the Dolphins.
Geno Smith

NYJ Quarterback #7

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.
Geno Smith

NYJ Quarterback #7

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.
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.

NYJ Quarterback #7

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.
Geno Smith

NYJ Quarterback #7

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.

Michael Wilson (ribs) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Wilson was on the practice field wearing a non-contact jersey on Wednesday. He is dealing with a rib injury, presumably suffered in the Cardinals’ Week 7 loss to the Broncos. He will be limited as long as he wears the non-contact jersey and ideally finishes the week without it in order to play in Week 8 against the Cowboys. Kendrick Bourne suddenly becomes the WR1 if Wilson cannot go.

Tyler Allgeier (toe) did not practice Wednesday.

Allgeier popped up on the injury report with a toe issue as rookie Jeremiyah Love (ankle) returned to practice in a limited fashion. Though we don’t know the severity of Allgeier’s injury, it may be worth keeping Bam Knight rostered despite Love’s return. If Allgeier cannot play in Week 8 against the Cowboys, Knight will get another week of fantasy viability.

DeVonta Smith (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday’s walkthrough practice.

Both Smith and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) were estimated DNPs for the Eagles’ walkthrough. Both players missed Week 7 against the Cowboys and start off on the wrong side of questionable to open Week 8. Smith and Wicks will need to at least get a limited practice session in before they can be considered as potential fantasy options against the Commanders. With Britain Covey (knee) also DNP, the receiving corps is sparse. If neither can go, Darius Cooper and Hollywod Brown get a boost from the WR group while TE Dallas Goedert becomes the No. 1 pass-catcher in the Eagles offense.

Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) did not participate in Wednesday’s walkthrough practice.

Barkley was predictably a non-participant after re-aggravating his hamstring injury and additionally injuring his back in Week 7 against the Cowboys. Despite the injuries, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Barkley said his hamstring “came out great” and he doesn’t believe his back will keep him out. With every other Eagles running back suffering long-term injuries, Barkley is attempting to gut out his injury issues. Given his re-aggravation last week, it is well within the range of outcomes for Barkley to see limited snaps in Week 8 against the Commanders. His motivation to play makes us think he is on track to be active on Sunday but Barkley is a risky RB2 as he deals with injuries.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn already said Diggs won’t practice Wednesday, so this is not a surprise. Quinn also confirmed the veteran will return to practice Thursday and the additional rest designation should stave off concerns of Diggs dealing with a long-term injury. He should be in the WR3/FLEX mix for Week 8 against the Eagles. Also not practicing for the Commanders was TE John Bates (shoulder).

Treylon Burks (foot) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Burks was limited due to a foot injury; this is notable with the Commanders coming out of a bye week. With Terry McLaurin out for the season, Burks has the opportunity to earn an increased role in the receiving corps. Fantasy managers don’t need to roster the 26-year-old yet, but Dyami Brown and Antonio Williams could see a boost in targets if Burks sits out Week 8 against the Eagles.

Pickens played through a minor shoulder injury last week, but the hamstring designation is new. He was still a limited practice participant, indicating neither injury should be an issue for his Week 8 status. Meanwhile, WR/KR KaVontae Turpin (ribs) was an estimated DNP in practice after not playing last week. The Cowboys may be missing Turpin again as a kick returner and gadget player on offense, but Pickens should still be the WR2 for Sunday against the Cardinals.
