Well, you mentioned Geno Smith. Oddly enough, he's a strong partner for managers that play in deeper (16-plus teams) or superflex leagues.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Geno Smith pairs well with Patrick Mahomes in deeper/superflex leagues.

Geno Smith is an odd but strong pairing option for managers in deeper (16-plus team) or superflex leagues; he meshes best with Patrick Mahomes based on schedule alignment. You can use Smith in Weeks 1-2 against the Titans and Packers while evaluating Mahomes' return to full strength, then start Mahomes for Weeks 3-4 against the Dolphins and Raiders, then Smith against the Browns during Mahomes' Week 5 bye (the Browns grade as an above-average matchup for a QB despite being well-regarded defensively). In superflex leagues, a Mahomes-Smith partnership can fill one starting slot effectively.
