Geno Smith

After a poor season with the Raiders in 2025, Geno Smith is expected to be the Jets' Week 1 starter in 2026. Smith threw 17 interceptions in 15 starts last season and averaged just 12.7 fantasy points per game. But Smith is only two years removed from a 4,320-yard season with the Seahawks in 2024. And at 35, Smith is old but not ancient. The Jets have a solid offensive line and an interesting collection of pass catchers that includes Garrett Wilson and first-round rookies Kenyon Sadiq and Omar Cooper Jr. It's unlikely that Smith will have much fantasy relevance this season, but it's possible he'll be capable enough to warrant consideration as an injury or bye week fill-in.

Aaron Glenn announced that Geno Smith will be the Jets' starting quarterback heading into 2026.

Fantasy Impact

Across 15 appearances this past season with the Raiders, Smith threw 19 touchdowns to 17 interceptions. A change of scenery could help him get back on track, but his days as a fantasy-relevant quarterback are likely over.
