Geno Smith Week 5 Outlook - Raiders at Colts

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, Oct 3rd 2025, 11:05pm EDT

Geno Smith has continued his high-wire act for fantasy as the QB20 in fantasy points per game. He has two outings with 18 or more fantasy points while also logging two games with less than 13 fantasy points. Smith ranks 12th in yards per attempt and 11th in passing yards per game, but he also leads the NFL in interceptions while having the second-highest off-target rate and turnover-worthy throw rate. Smith will continue to be volatile, but this should be one of his better weeks. Indy's pass defense has been struggling, allowing the 13th-most passing yards per game, the fifth-most passing touchdowns, and the seventh-highest success rate per dropback. Indy has also allowed the sixth-most deep passing yards per game and the fourth-highest passer rating to deep passing. Smith could connect on a few deep balls this week to make his week. Smith is 16th in deep ball rate and 20th in deep ball completion rate (out of 34 qualifying quarterbacks).
