FantasyPros Articles on Geno Smith
From the article
Behind what looks like a strong Jets' offensive line, this should be a year for Smith to see plenty of clean pockets. Last year, Tennessee allowed the highest yards per attempt, the third-highest passer rating, the second-highest success rate, and the 12th-highest CPOE.
STACKED’s take
Smith's improved offensive line should provide clean pockets against Tennessee's unproven Week 1 defense.
Smith was the QB27 in fantasy points per game in 2025 with only two weeks as a QB1, hampered by pressure sensitivity (fourth-lowest passer rating when pressured, 19th from clean pocket per PFF). Behind a strong Jets offensive line, he should see plenty of clean pockets in 2026. Among 38 qualifying quarterbacks, Smith ranked 25th in yards per attempt, 24th in CPOE, 14th in highly accurate throw rate, and 34th in fantasy points per dropback. Tennessee's revamped pass defense (adding John Franklin-Myers, Keldric Faulk, Jermaine Johnson, Cor'Dale Flott, Alontae Taylor) is a question mark out of the gate; the Titans allowed the highest yards per attempt, third-highest passer rating, second-highest success rate, and 12th-highest CPOE in 2025, making this a neutral matchup for Smith.
