SEA QB Geno Smith - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Detroit Lions

Even without Jalen Ramsey, the Rams’ defense found a way to swarm Geno Smith in Week 1, holding him to just 112 passing yards in the 30-13 loss. This week he faces Detroit who look much better on defense. But you have to think the Seahawks will bounce back from their Week 1 loss. Smith is still a borderline starter for fantasy but another tough week could start bringing up some questions.

SEA QB Geno Smith - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Los Angeles Rams

Geno Smith revitalized his career in 2022, winning Comeback Player of the Year and leading the Seahawks to the playoffs. He begins his encore performance against a Rams team that looks absolutely lost. Smith still has his buddies DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett and now also has rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba to throw to as well. In a home divisional game against a weak Rams team, Smith is a solid top-10 option this week to get you off on the right foot this season.

SEA QB Geno Smith - 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
What a comeback for Geno Smith. He was left for dead after a failed stint with the Jets and backup roles with the Chargers and Giants. But after backing up Russell Wilson for a year, Wilson had a career year in 2022, throwing for 4,282 yards and 30 touchdowns and taking a Seahawks team that many thought would contend for the No. 1 pick in the draft to the playoffs. He was rewarded with a new contract and a new weapon after the Seahawks drafted Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first round. So now he gets the trio of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and JSN to throw to. Plus he runs the ball. Not a bad combo for fantasy purposes.

Fantasy Downside
Will Smith be a top-6 quarterback in fantasy again? Who knows? Some regression could be expected. Seattle also has a nice stable of running backs they would love to use, including Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.

2023 Bottom Line
Smith may not be a top-6 quarterback like he was in 2022. But he presents very solid value at his current ADP around the 9th or 10th round as the 15th quarterback off the board. He can very well finish top 12 or even top 10 again. He's a fine option if you don't land the top ones.

SEA QB Geno Smith - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. New York Jets

Unfortunately, Geno Smith has cooled off a bit as Seattle has struggled overall on offense and now find their playoff hopes in trouble. Smith's fantasy owners, for the most part, get one last ride with him but it comes against the stingy Jets defense including Pro Bowl cornerback Sauce Gardner. Smith isn't as high of an option as he has been in other weeks, but if you're in a 2QB league, Smith is still a fine No. 2 option.

SEA QB Geno Smith - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Kansas City Chiefs

Geno Smith's streak of throwing at least two touchdowns in a game ended at 7 after throwing just one against the 49ers. Understandable against a strong defense on a short week. He did complete over 70% of his passes and also didn't throw an interception for the first time since Week 10. And you may be surprised to find out the Chiefs have allowed the most passing touchdowns this season, so Smith can register another game with at least two scores. Smith sits as a top-ten option for us this week.

SEA QB Geno Smith - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Make that seven straight games with at least two touchdown passes for Geno Smith and two straight with three. Even in a losing effort against the Panthers, Smith came through again for fantasy owners. He’s on a short week this week, but he’s home against the 49ers, one of only two teams this season he did not throw a touchdown against. He’ll look to extend his touchdown streak Thursday and with the streak he has been on with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, he’s a good bet for another solid fantasy day. Consider him a low-end QB1 or high-upside QB2.

SEA QB Geno Smith - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Carolina Panthers

Geno Smith continued his streak of multiple touchdowns in a game. He now has six games in a row throwing at least two touchdowns after throwing three, including his first career go-ahead score in the final minute of a game. Smith is on a roll and that should continue this week against the Panthers, who rank 20th against the pass in DVOA. It's another good week to have Smith in standard leagues and in DFS.
