FantasyPros Articles on Geno Smith

Smith's blitz mastery and Lions' weak defense position him as QB2 with QB1 upside.

Smith is QB23 through two games but the source believes he could have a strong Week 3 against Detroit. Smith ranks 15th in yards per attempt, 16th in passing success rate, and sixth in catchable target rate among 28 qualifying passers, with the eighth-lowest aDOT and tenth-lowest hero throw rate, operating as a quick-hitting point guard. The Lions' pass defense has allowed the eighth-highest passing success rate and 11th-most EPA per dropback. Smith has been strong against the blitz as a Jet (fourth-best in yards per attempt, fifth in passing success rate), and the source projects him as a strong QB2 who could surprise with fringe QB1 production.
