Geno Smith Rest-of-Season Outlook
QB2 with streaming weeks
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished QB23 last season at 12.7 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's QB17 at 17.0 PPR points per game, against 12.7 over 15 games last season (QB23). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 20th of 41 in passing volume (29.9 attempts per game), 36th of 41 in efficiency (-0.14 EPA per play) and 31st of 41 in rushing (7.3 rush yards per game). Efficiency is the soft spot. Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell are his top two targets.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Cade Klubnik next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
The next favorable matchup is the Dolphins in Week 7 (6th against QBs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
The advanced profile is flashing warning signs. Smith's 2025 in Las Vegas was a sharp fall from his Seattle peak: a minus-0.137 EPA per play, a 41.9% success rate, and 17 interceptions against just 19 touchdowns across 15 games, finishing as the QB20 with 173.9 fantasy points. That follows a 2024 line that, while productive at 4,320 yards, already showed his EPA flatlining near zero. He took 55 sacks behind a leaky front, and his deep-attempt rate sat at a conservative 8.7%, capping the ceiling that fantasy QBs need.
He returns to the Jets as the Week 1 starter, reuniting with the franchise that drafted him in 2013. Garrett Wilson, rookie pass-catchers Kenyon Sadiq and Omar Cooper Jr., plus Breece Hall give him real support. But at 35 with negative efficiency trends, he's strictly a streaming or bye-week backup. Let someone else draft him in single-QB formats.

Geno Smith's risks: Cade Klubnik is next on the depth chart if he is benched or hurt, his efficiency (-0.14 EPA per play, 36th of 41 QBs in 2025) limits his scoring and the Patriots in Week 6 is a tough matchup. See his injury status and history.

If Smith Misses Time
Next man up: Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik is next on the Jets depth chart at quarterback. In superflex leagues he's worth a speculative bench spot for Smith managers; in 1QB leagues he's a waiver add only if Smith misses time.
Who else it affects
A quarterback change matters most for Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell, his two most-targeted pass catchers this season.
