Veteran quarterback Geno Smith faces his former team Kansas City in Week 9, where Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo was his quarterback coach with the Giants in 2017. Spagnuolo praised Smith's intelligence and arm strength, noting he has a 'rocket arm' and 'really strong arm,' and highlighted multiple clips of Smith throwing across the field to different receivers. Smith leads a Jets offense that has scored 58 points over the last two weeks with six players posting 100+ yard games.

Smith is QB20 in fantasy points per game despite a QB13 finish last week and three games with at least 19 fantasy points. Among 30 qualifying passers, Smith ranks sixth in yards per attempt, 11th in passing success rate, 14th in highly accurate throw rate, and fifth in catchable target rate. However, the source recommends sitting Smith this week due to a horrible matchup. Kansas City has allowed the fifth-lowest passing touchdown rate and passing success rate, 14th-fewest yards per attempt, and 11th-fewest fantasy points per dropback over their last five games. The source explicitly states: "Sit Smith."

Jets starting QB Geno Smith expressed confidence heading into a road matchup against Kansas City, stating 'For me, again, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. It's about what we think and what we believe. We believe we can get it done.' Despite the Jets being 2-6 and facing a 10-point underdog situation against a historically great Chiefs team, Smith emphasized belief in his locker room and coaching staff, suggesting the team is developing a plan to compete in a tough environment. This reflects Smith's role as the primary decision-maker and leader for an offense with pieces to score points.

In the first half, he went 11 of 17 for 146 yards and both touchdowns (131.0 rating) with a sack for -10. In the second half, he went 9 of 15 for 144 yards and the final-play interception (64.3 rating) with a sack for -7. In the red zone, he was 2 of 7 for 30 yards and both touchdowns. Week 7 was 23 of 30 for 287 yards, 3 touchdowns, 1 interception, and 125.3 rating.
NegativeProjectionNov 3, 2026Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz
Ian Hartitz ranks Gino Smith QB17 against the Chiefs. Smith is playing strong football with clean pockets afforded by the third-longest average time to pressure in the NFL; he completed six passes of at least 20 yards downfield last week, tied with Jordan Love for the season high, and also has five such completions in the Lions game. He has weapons across the board (Gary Wilson, AD Mitchell, Omar Cooper, Mason Taylor, Kenny Sadik, returning Bree Hall). The concern is the matchup against Steve Spagnuolo's Chiefs secondary at home, which could fluster him, though last year's struggles appear to be in the rearview mirror. For Week 10, Smith against the Bills is Hartitz's sneaky shootout option for quarterbacks available in 60% or more of Yahoo Leagues.
