FantasyPros Articles on Geno Smith
From the article
Smith has actually been playing quite well, and it hasn't been reflected in his box scores outside of destroying the Lions. Among 29 qualifying passers, Smith ranks eighth in yards per attempt, tenth in passing success rate, 12th in highly accurate throw rate, and first in catchable target rate. Smith is a middling QB2 this week.
STACKED’s take
Smith's elite efficiency (8th YPA, 1st catchable target rate) supports QB2 floor despite QB23 ranking.
Smith is QB23 in fantasy points per game but has been playing well despite poor box scores outside of his dominant performance against Detroit's woeful secondary. Last week he had only 15 passing attempts due to the Jets' limited offensive possessions (17:15 time of possession). Among 29 qualifying passers, Smith ranks eighth in yards per attempt, tenth in passing success rate, 12th in highly accurate throw rate, and first in catchable target rate—elite efficiency metrics. The source rates him as a middling QB2 this week against Cleveland's solid pass defense (13th-fewest EPA per dropback, 14th-lowest passing success rate, ninth-lowest CPOE).
