Seahawks' Geno Smith: Fails to score in losing effort
Rotowire
Smith completed 21 of 29 pass attempts for 212 yards, no touchdowns and one interception while rushing five times for 16 yards in Sunday's 31- 10 loss to the Bills.
Smith failed to throw a touchdown for the first time in seven starts this season. He was far from the reason the Seahawks lost this contest, but it wasn't the veterans finest stat line either. Despite Seattle's struggles Sunday, Smith remains a reliable mid-range option heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Rams.

Seahawks' Geno Smith: Sleeper QBs
Rotowire
DK Metcalf (knee) is not expected to play in Week 8, but Smith is still worth using as a starter in deeper leagues. Smith leads the NFL in passing yards and has scored at least 21.8 Fantasy points in three of his past four games. He's also averaging 39.9 pass attempts a game for the season, so there should be a lot of volume here against the Bills in a potential shootout. I like him less with Metcalf out, but he can still be successful enough -- figure around 18 Fantasy points -- to be useful in deeper leagues.

Seahawks' Geno Smith: Pair of scoring passes in win
Rotowire
Smith completed 18 of 28 passes for 207 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Seahawks' 34-14 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 15 yards and fumbled once but recovered.
Smith put together an efficient game in enemy territory, helping secure a key victory for the Seahawks with a turnover-free performance that also featured his first multi-touchdown tally of the campaign. He connected with DK Metcalf (31 yards) and Kenneth Walker (17 yards) for the pair of scoring tosses, and he recorded completions to seven different players overall. Smith did see Metcalf get carted off with a knee injury in the fourth quarter, however, so it remains to be seen if he'll have his top target available for a Week 8 home showdown against the Bills.

Seahawks' Geno Smith: QBs to Start
Rotowire
Smith is still looking for his first game this season with multiple passing touchdowns, and hopefully, that comes in Week 7 against Atlanta. The Falcons have actually allowed two quarterbacks in a row in, Baker Mayfield and Andy Dalton, to combine for five passing touchdowns, and three quarterbacks in the past five games have scored at least 20.4 Fantasy points. Despite not throwing for multiple touchdowns in a game this season, Smith has still scored at least 23.6 Fantasy points in two of his past three outings. This game has an expected point total of 51, so Smith should have the chance for a strong performance on the road.

Seahawks' Geno Smith: Mixed performance in Week 6 loss
Rotowire
Smith completed 30 of 52 passes for 312 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions and rushed once for no gain in the Seahawks' 36-24 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.
Smith was able to post his third 300-yard effort of the season, but it was partly marred by his second multi-interception tally. Both of Smith's picks were particularly costly, with the first short-circuiting the opening possession of the game at the 49ers' two-yard line and the second coming in Seattle territory just before the midway point of the fourth quarter and the Seahawks down by six. Smith did distribute the ball in impressive fashion while connecting with eight different targets overall, and he's now put up over 50 pass attempts in two of the last three games. Smith next takes aim at the Falcons in a Week 7 road matchup on Sunday, Oct. 20.

Seahawks' Geno Smith: Sets another career high Sunday
Rotowire
Smith completed 28 of 40 pass attempts for 284 yards and a touchdown while adding 72 rushing yards on four attempts in Sunday's 29-20 loss to the Giants.
Smith did his usual thing from the pocket Sunday, and he delighted fantasy managers with a rare 72-yard performance as a rusher. That set a new high-water mark in rushing yards in a single game for the veteran quarterback a week after setting a new high in passing yards (395) against the Lions last Sunday. The Seahawks have hit a two-game skid, but Smith has been doing his part with strong numbers heading into Thursday's tilt against San Francisco.

Seahawks' Geno Smith: QBs to Start

Smith has yet to throw multiple touchdowns in a game this season, but he's scored at least 19.8 Fantasy points in three of four outings. And he just had his best game of the season in Week 4 at Detroit with 23.6 Fantasy points. Now, he threw 56 passes in that game, and it would be a surprise if he had that many attempts against the Giants. But Smith has attempted at least 34 passes in three games in a row. The past two quarterbacks against the Giants, Deshaun Watson and Dak Prescott, have scored at least 20.5 Fantasy points, and Smith should also be in that range this week.

Seahawks' Geno Smith: Sets career highs on MNF
Rotowire
Smith completed 38 of 56 pass attempts for 395 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing five times for 28 yards in Monday's 42-29 loss to the Lions.
Smith set career highs in passing attempts, completions and yards in a desperate attempt to keep the Seahawks afloat against a flawless Lions squad on Monday Night Football. The end result was positive for fantasy managers after the veteran QB threw for 300-plus yards for the second time in three weeks. Smith has struggled from a touchdown to turnover standpoint, throwing four of both through four games in 2024. The 3-1 Seahawks will set their sights on the Giants in a home matchup Sunday.

Smith has faced the Lions in each of the past two seasons in Detroit, and he's combined for 648 passing yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions, along with 69 rushing yards and a touchdown, in those two outings. I'm expecting another solid performance against the Lions in Week 4, and this should be Smith's best game to date since he's yet to score more than 19.9 Fantasy points. I'm trusting Smith as a low-end starter in all leagues.

Seahawks' Geno Smith: Overcomes turnovers in win
Rotowire
Smith completed 26 of 34 pass attempts for 289 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 24-3 win over the Dolphins.
Smith threw a pair of interceptions and nearly had a third turnover had he not recovered his own fumble in Sunday's lopsided win. In better news for his fantasy managers, the veteran signal-caller still provided 289 passing yards and a touchdown to help offset his gaffes. Smith has averaged over 300 passing yards over his last two contests heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Lions on Monday Night Football.

Seahawks' Geno Smith: Sleeper QBs

Smith is due for a big game after scoring 19.8 and 19.9 Fantasy points in each of his first two matchups against Denver and New England. And it could happen this week against Miami at home. This is the Dolphins' first road game this year, and Miami allowed opposing quarterbacks to average 25.3 Fantasy points on the road in eight games last season. While I'm expecting a big game from Zach Charbonnet as the Start of the Week, Smith should also finish as a low-end starter in all leagues.

Seahawks' Geno Smith: One To Stash (QB Preview)
Rotowire
I don't really want to start Goff in Week 3 in a low-scoring game against the Dolphins, but he's at Detroit in Week 4 and could be a top-12 option if the offense looks as good as it did in Week 2. Smith is completing 73.9% of his passes so far this season despite the fact that his intended air yards per attempt are up 10% over 2023.

Seahawks' Geno Smith: Week 2 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Smith was good, not great, in Week 1 against Denver with 19.8 Fantasy points, but I'm expecting him to improve moving forward in Seattle's new offense. He might have another mediocre performance in Week 2 at New England, but Smith could emerge as a starter in all leagues as the season goes on. He's worth up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

I'm excited to see Smith in Ryan Grubb's offense, and Smith should do well in Week 1 against the Broncos. Last year, Denver was No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, and Smith ended 2023 with at least 21.3 Fantasy points in three of his final four games. The Seahawks are expected to run more plays under Grubb and open up the passing game, and Smith should benefit, starting this week at home.

Seahawks' Geno Smith: Adds/Streamers (QB Preview)
Rotowire
Smith is at home, with a good matchup, in his first game with Ryan Grubb as offensive coordinator. We expect Grubb's offense to be a downfield passing attack, and Smith has been very accurate downfield the past two seasons. The Seahawks' 24-point implied total is a plus, and so is the fact that all three of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba appear to be healthy.

Seahawks' Geno Smith: Week 1 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The addition of Ryan Grubb as the offensive coordinator in Seattle should help the entire Seahawks offense. They should run more plays and be more explosive. As long as Smith doesn't make mistakes he could return to his 2022 level of play when he averaged 20.5 Fantasy points per game.

Seahawks' Geno Smith: Sharp on one drive Saturday
Rotowire
Smith completed four of five passes for 62 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Seahawks' 37-33 preseason win over the Browns on Saturday night.
The veteran signal-caller drew the start, and after throwing incomplete to DK Metcalf on his first pass attempt, he proceeded to briskly march the Seahawks downfield on a 62-yard touchdown drive. Along the way, Smith recorded completions of 25 and seven yards to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, as well as a 21-yard scoring toss to Metcalf, getting some very encouraging tune-up work completed before a Week 1 home showdown against the Broncos on Sept. 8. Smith will be operating in a new offense this season, but his core of skill players has full continuity, upping his chances of success.

Seahawks' Geno Smith: On track to play Saturday
Rotowire
Coach Mike Macdonald relayed Thursday that most of Seattle's starters, including Smith, are in line to play in the team's preseason finale against the Browns on Saturday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle and Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune report.
Smith didn't see action in either of the Seahawks' first two exhibition contests, but he's slated to get some work in this weekend, along with the team's other healthy starters on offense. Once Smith gives way to his backups Saturday, his focus will turn to a Week 1 matchup against the Broncos.

Seahawks' Geno Smith: Not expected to suit up vs. Titans
Rotowire
Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Seattle's starters, Smith included, aren't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Titans, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Macdonald looks set to hold the Seahawks' starting units out of a second straight exhibition matchup, as Smith also didn't suit up this past Saturday against the Chargers. Instead, Macdonald stressed that the starters will get plenty of reps during joint practices with Tennessee, which will be fully padded. Smith dealt with hip and knee injuries earlier in training camp but has been a full participant at practice as of late.

Seahawks' Geno Smith: Back at practice Monday
Rotowire
Smith (knee/hip) is participating in practice Monday, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.
Smith is throwing at practice in full pads, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. That constitutes the veteran signal-caller's first on-field activity since suffering knee and hip injuries last week, but medical examinations done last Thursday and Saturday didn't reveal a serious issue. The Seahawks' preseason opener is coming up on the road versus the Chargers on Saturday, but it remains to be seen whether Smith or backup Sam Howell will be considered to suit up.
