Smith scored 29.5 Fantasy points in Week 7 against Miami, and now he gets a revenge game in Week 8 against the Raiders, who are No. 6 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Smith has found new weapons in Omar Cooper Jr. and Mason Taylor to join Garrett Wilson, and Smith should have success against his former team. He's worth using as a low-end starter in all leagues, and he should be added for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Jets' Geno Smith: Three TDs not enough in Week 7
Rotowire
Smith completed 23 of 30 passes for 287 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins. He also rushed twice for no gain and threw a successful two-point conversion.
Smith matched Miami's opening-drive touchdown with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Mason Taylor on the Jets' first drive, but the veteran QB threw an interception deep in Dolphins territory on the next drive. The Jets trailed for the entirety of the last three quarters, allowing Smith to rack up some big numbers during their failed comeback bid, as he posted his second three-touchdown performance of the season. He found Omar Cooper for a three-yard touchdown in the third quarter after they connected for a 60-yard gain earlier on that drive, and Smith threw a 12-yard touchdown and two-point conversion, both to Taylor, to round out the scoring with 3:24 remaining in the fourth, but the Dolphins ran out the clock from there to drop the Jets to 2-5 heading into a Week 8 home game against the Raiders.

Jets' Geno Smith: Sleeper QBs
Rotowire
Smith has scored more than 20 Fantasy points just once this season, and he's been under 14 points in three consecutive games against Chicago, Cleveland and New England. But he faces Miami in Week 7, and the Dolphins are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Four quarterbacks this season have scored at least 19.8 Fantasy points against Miami, including Kirk Cousins, Brock Purdy, Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow, and Smith should be in that range in Week 7.

Jets' Geno Smith: Week 7 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Smith has scored more than 20 Fantasy points just once this season, and he's been under 14 points in three games in a row against Chicago, Cleveland and New England. But he faces Miami in Week 7, and the Dolphins are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. And then he gets a revenge game against the Raiders in Week 8, with Las Vegas at No. 6 in most Fantasy points allowed to the position. Smith is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAAB if you need a quarterback in deeper leagues.

Jets' Geno Smith: Solid numbers despite loss
Rotowire
Smith completed 20 of 30 passes for 252 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding two rushes for minus-1 yard in the Jets' 26-19 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Smith took three sacks while trying to play catch-up all afternoon, and in that context, his final numbers were all the more impressive. The veteran signal-caller helped the Jets claw back from a 17-3 halftime deficit to get within four entering the fourth quarter, but his interception at the Patriots' 24-yard line early in the period snuffed out a potential scoring opportunity. Smith has certainly given New York some much-needed veteran stability at the quarterback position and displayed encouraging chemistry with returning rookie Omar Cooper (6-103-1) on Sunday, so there's reason for optimism heading into a favorable Week 7 home matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Jets' Geno Smith: Modest numbers in rainy Week 5 win
Rotowire
Smith completed 17 of 30 pass attempts for 182 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Browns. He also rushed five times for seven yards and lost a fumble.
Smith threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson on the team's first drive, but New York's passing game was quiet the rest of the way while playing through rainy conditions for the second time in as many home games. The veteran QB, who celebrated his 36th birthday Saturday, has a tidy 6:0 TD:INT, though Smith has put the ball on the ground in all but one game while losing two of four fumbles. Smith and the Jets will hope to get some of their injured skill position players back in Week 6 against the Patriots. Kenyon Sadiq (concussion) joined that growing list during Sunday's win.

Jets' Geno Smith: Just eight completions in loss
Rotowire
Smith completed eight of 15 pass attempts for 119 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-12 loss to the Bears.
Smith threw for just 18 yards in the first half as the Jets took a 13-3 deficit into the locker room. Things didn't get much better offensively after halftime, except for Smith's 58-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Williams in the fourth quarter. Smith has a 5:0 TD:INT and is averaging 226 passing yards heading into a Week 5 home game against the Browns.

Jets' Geno Smith: Tosses three TDs in Week 3 loss
Rotowire
Smith completed 31 of 37 passes for 321 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Lions. He added 12 rushing yards on two carries and threw a two-point conversion.
The veteran QB was nearly flawless as the Jets nearly pulled off the upset, with his only turnover being a fumble on his fifth sack of the day late in the fourth quarter, ending his final possession. Smith spread the ball around, completing passes to eight different targets and connecting with Garrett Wilson, Jeremy Ruckert and rookie first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq for his scores. Smith has been extremely efficient to begin the season, posting a 75.5 percent completion rate (77-for-102) with a 4:0 TD:INT and 7.7 YPA. He'll look to stay sharp in a Week 4 road trip to Chicago.

Jets' Geno Smith: Sleeper QBs
Rotowire
This is a great matchup to trust Smith if you need a quarterback. The Lions are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks so far after Tyler Shough and Josh Allen combined for 658 passing yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions and 77 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the first two games. Shough was the No. 6 Fantasy quarterback in Week 1 with 29.2 points, and Allen was the No. 1 Fantasy quarterback in Week 2 with 46.8 points. Smith just scored 17.6 Fantasy points in Week 2 against Green Bay, and I like him as a flier in deeper leagues in Week 3 at Detroit, especially if Adonai Mitchell (finger) is healthy.

Jets' Geno Smith: Struggles late in OT loss
Rotowire
Smith completed 27 of 41 passes for 247 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers. He also rushed five times for 17 yards.
Smith navigated the Jets to a 17-7 lead with 11:04 remaining in the fourth quarter, but New York's offense stalled down the stretch, with a turnover on downs sandwiched around two punts on the team's final three possessions. Making his first home start for the Jets in nearly a decade, Smith threw his first touchdown pass of the season on a five-yard connection with Garrett Wilson in the third quarter. Smith hasn't turned the ball over but has just 462 passing yards heading into a Week 3 road game against the Lions, who allowed three touchdown passes apiece to Tyler Shough and Josh Allen.

Jets' Geno Smith: Works as game manager in Week 1 win
Rotowire
Smith completed 19 of 24 passes for 215 yards while rushing six times for seven yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans.
Smith kept the offense on schedule but wasn't asked to do too much as the Jets rode their running game and defense to a convincing Week 1 win. There will likely be more pass-heavy game scripts to come, possibly as soon as Week 2 against the Packers, but Smith gave the Jets refreshingly competent quarterback play despite his modest yardage total to win the first game of his second stint with the team. Smith showed a nice connection with wide receivers Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell, connecting with them on nine of 10 targets for 139 yards.

Jets' Geno Smith: Voted team captain
Rotowire
Smith was voted a Jets captain by his teammates ahead of the 2026 season, Amanda Vogt and Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.
It's been nearly 10 years since Smith last took a snap for the Jets, but after revitalizing his career with the Seahawks and Raiders over the last four seasons, he's back in New York as a grizzled vet with age (34) and experience on his side. Smith recorded at least 3,000 yards and 19 touchdowns through the air in each of those four campaigns, but he also tossed 52 interceptions in 64 regular-season games during that span. Picks are often an issue for Smith, but he at least will have a nice skill-position group of RB Breece Hall (groin), WRs Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper and TEs Mason Taylor and Kenyon Sadiq (abdomen) to throw to in 2026.

Jets' Geno Smith: Not playing Friday
Rotowire
Smith will not play in Friday's preseason finale against the Giants, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Smith and most of the Jets' starters will sit out Friday's contest as the team prepares for Week 1 against the Titans on Sunday, Sept. 13. The quarterback played the opening drive of the team's preseason win over Pittsburgh on Aug. 21, completing all seven of his passes for 65 yards and a touchdown. That will end up being the only action he sees during the preseason, and Week 1 will be his first regular-season start with the Jets since 2016.

Jets' Geno Smith: Perfect on lone drive Friday
Rotowire
Smith completed all seven of his pass attempts for 65 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 17-0 preseason win over the Steelers.
After sitting out the preseason opener due to a sore ankle, Smith saw the first game action of his second stint with the Jets. He played only the opening drive but was sharp during his brief time in the game, completing all seven of his passes to six different targets, including a 13-yard touchdown pass to Jelani Woods. Smith looks like he's in midseason form already, so it remains to be seen if the veteran QB will get any action in next Friday's preseason finale against the Giants.

Jets' Geno Smith: On track to face Steelers on Friday
Rotowire
Smith is scheduled to start Friday's preseason game against the Steelers, Connor Hughes of SNYtv reports.
Smith sat out the Jets' preseason opener due to a sore ankle, paving the way for rookie fourth-round pick Cade Klubnik to get the start. The veteran starter has since recovered and is set for the first game action of his second stint with the Jets. Smith sits safely atop the team's QB depth chart, while Klubnik looks like the favorite to secure the backup role over Bailey Zappe and Brady Cook.

Jets' Geno Smith: Present for Monday's practice
Rotowire
Smith (ankle) was on the field for Monday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Per Cimini, Smith -- who didn't play in this past Friday's preseason game against the Buccaneers -- sported a sleeve on his lower left leg as he participated in Monday's walkthrough. It remains to be seen if the QB will be limited at practice in the coming days, but either way, Smith's next chance to see game action arrives this Friday against the Steelers.

Jets' Geno Smith: Has sore ankle, is day-to-day
Rotowire
Coach Aaron Glenn said after Friday's 24-16 preseason loss to the Buccaneers that Smith sat out the contest due to a sore ankle and is day-to-day, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Per Glenn, Smith picked up the injury during the Jets' joint practice with Tampa Bay on Wednesday. Considering Smith is deemed day-to-day, the Jets likely will exercise caution with him until he's back to 100 percent. In any case, his next opportunity for exhibition action is next Friday at Pittsburgh.

Jets' Geno Smith: Not playing Friday due to foot soreness
Rotowire
Smith won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Buccaneers due to a sore foot, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
On Tuesday, coach Aaron Glenn told Al Iannazzone of Newsday that Smith and the rest of the Jets' starters would log some snaps Friday. While an injury to Smith has quelled those plans, the team isn't concerned about it, and he'd play through it if it was the regular season. Instead, New York will take a cautious approach with its starting quarterback, meaning his next chance for exhibition action is next Friday at Pittsburgh.

Jets' Geno Smith: Joining Jets via trade
Rotowire
The Jets have agreed to a trade with the Raiders to acquire Smith and a 2026 seventh-round pick in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The next chapter of Smith's career will feature his return to the team that selected him in the second round of the 2013 Draft. Of course, it wasn't until his stint as a starter with Seattle from 2022-24 that Smith finally blossomed, earning two Pro Bowl berths and throwing for over 4,000 yards on two occasions. The 35-year-old signal-caller fell to earth while playing behind Las Vegas' porous offensive line in 2025, but the Jets hope the veteran can find his footing again in New York, where he will benefit not only from superior protection behind a line anchored by tackles Olu Fashanu and Armand Membou, but also a pair of valuable offensive playmakers in WR Garrett Wilson (knee) and RB Breece Hall (knee). Smith's arrival also confirms that Justin Fields (knee) is no longer in the team's plans.
