The Lions have surrendered 329 passing yards, three touchdowns, and 22.2 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks just in the air over the first two weeks. Additionally, Detroit lost cornerback Avonte Maddox to a season-ending injury last week, further weakening their pass defense.

Geno Smith is rostered in only 5% of leagues and available in most formats. Through two games, he has thrown only one TD pass with a Week 2 performance of 27-of-41 completions for 247 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions against the Packers. His streaming appeal is matchup-based: Week 3 against the Lions in Detroit (who have allowed 658 passing yards and six TDs with safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph out) and Week 4 against the Bears in Chicago (bottom-five defense). The dome environment in Detroit is a plus after Smith failed to click in wet conditions in Week 2.

Geno Smith was sacked on the first two plays of the Jets' overtime possession after Aaron Glenn chose to receive the kickoff; the Jets punted without scoring, allowing the Packers to drive for a game-winning field goal. Glenn's clock-control strategy of passing rather than running the ball—despite the Jets' struggles with run momentum all afternoon—resulted in Smith being unable to execute the offensive plan.

Smith finished 27-for-41, 247 yards, one touchdown, no turnovers against Green Bay but made costly mistakes in overtime that cost the Jets a game they led 20-10 with 11:04 remaining in regulation.
