From the article

Smith had by far his best game of the season against Detroit, throwing for 321 yards and three scores while completing almost 84 percent of his passes... we have already seen this week's opponent (the Chicago Bears) give up a similarly gaudy stat line to Bryce Young of the Carolina Panthers in Week 1.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Smith's 321-yard, 3-TD game and Ruckert's confidence suggest upside against weak Bears defense.

Smith had his best game of the season against Detroit, throwing for 321 yards and three scores while completing almost 84 percent of his passes. Jets tight end Jeremy Ruckert praised Smith's poise and decision-making: "He's a warrior, man. He just stands in there... he stands in that pocket and delivers the ball while he gets hit. He's a field general. We have the utmost confidence in him." The source notes that while much of that success can be attributed to Detroit's weak defense, the Week 4 opponent Chicago Bears gave up similarly gaudy stats to Bryce Young of the Carolina Panthers in Week 1, suggesting a favorable matchup for Smith.
