Geno Smith

He could be worth picking up for Week 3 because Washington’s pass defense looks shaky and he throws a lot of downfield passes. But he turns the ball over and is inconsistent, so only use him as a short‑term fill‑in if you don’t have a better option.

He’s worth starting this week if you need someone who can put up big numbers — he threw for a lot in Week 1 and his coach calls a lot of passes. But be careful: the Chargers rush the passer and his hamstring was tight, so check injury updates before kickoff and have a safer option ready.

Start Geno Smith if he’s on your team and he’s playing in a dome or a stadium with a roof, especially Week 1 against the Patriots. He’s in a pass-heavy Las Vegas offense, has new weapons and looks healthy, but some experts worry his touchdown numbers could dip and he’s been much better indoors than outside, so use your other quarterback if Smith is playing outdoors or you’re unsure.

Draft him in the late rounds as a cheap starter or backup. He moved to Las Vegas with better teammates and coaching so he could play like a starter, but he may have some early bumps while he adjusts and is a bit risky if you only carry one quarterback.
