From the article

Last week, Geno Smith was the QB29 in fantasy. That finish has more to do with the fact that Smith doesn't run and he didn't throw any passing touchdowns than with his play being poor. Last week, among 32 qualifying passers, Smith was eighth in yards per attempt, 14th in passing success rate, second in highly accurate throw rate, and fifth in hero throw rate.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Smith's QB29 finish misleading; strong efficiency metrics support QB2 value in Week 2.

Geno Smith finished as QB29 in Week 1, but the source attributes this more to Smith not running and not throwing passing touchdowns than to poor play. Among 32 qualifying passers, Smith ranked eighth in yards per attempt, 14th in passing success rate, second in highly accurate throw rate, and fifth in hero throw rate. The source expects Smith to cobble together a stat line that should return solid QB2 value in Week 2. Green Bay allowed the 12th-fewest yards per attempt, sixth-lowest passing success rate, and ranked 16th in EPA per dropback in Week 1 (though against Carson Wentz, so context matters). The source views this as a neutral matchup for Smith.
