Geno Smith Fantasy Football Outlook (2026)

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sun, Aug 9th 2026, 5:30pm EDT

Geno Smith is a viable late-round quarterback flier for 2026. Last year was tough for Smith, as he was the QB27 in fantasy points per game with only two weeks as a QB1 in weekly fantasy scoring. Smith has always been a pressure-sensitive quarterback, and last year was no different. When he was pressured, he had the fourth-lowest passer rating (19th from a clean pocket, per PFF). Behind what looks like a strong Jets' offensive line, this should be a year for Smith to see plenty of clean pockets. With a ton of skill talent around him with Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, Omar Cooper Jr., and Kenyon Sadiq, Smith should have a strong QB2 season with some streaming upside and late-round appeal in Superflex formats.
