New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson has dealt with some poor quarterback play throughout his NFL career, and that might not change in 2026. New York recently struck a deal to acquire quarterback Geno Smith, taking on the final year of his hefty contract in exchange for a late-round pick. It's a move that signals the Jets want to have better quarterback play than last year, but still don't plan to be very competitive next season. Smith wasn't able to support very promising fantasy results from his receivers in 2025, as Jakobi Meyers was traded midseason and Vegas' top-scoring fantasy receiver was Tre Tucker (WR38). Make no mistake, Wilson should still be a fantasy WR2 when healthy; he was the WR15 in terms of fantasy points per game last year, but he missed more than half the season. He was also the overall WR10 with over 100 catches back in 2024, but that was with Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback. The bottom line is that Wilson will deliver fantasy-relevant results regardless of the quarterback situation, but his true ceiling will continue to be limited as the Jets roll out quarterbacks like Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and now, Smith. He's best viewed in the WR16-WR24 range for 2026.

ESPN's Rich Cimini writes that veteran quarterback Geno Smith is expected to replace Justin Fields as the New York Jets' bridge starter this year. Head coach Aaron Glenn is hoping to get enough wins out of Smith to stick around for a third year at the helm. The Jets signed Fields to a two-year, $40 million contract in March of last year, but he was not the answer under center. The 27-year-old former 11th overall pick by the Chicago Bears in 2021 out of Ohio State only made nine starts before being benched for veteran Tyrod Taylor. Fields, one of the better rushing QBs in the league, didn't run as much, and although he did limit his turnovers, he didn't help the Jets' offense much, throwing for 1,259 yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception in his nine starts. He had 71 carries for 383 yards and four touchdowns as a rusher. It would not be a surprise to see the Jets cut Field this offseason, which would save them $10 million in salary cap space in 2026.

The New York Jets agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent kicker Cade York on Wednesday, sources told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Former Jets kicker Nick Folk signed with the Atlanta Falcons earlier this week, so the Jets will add York, a former fourth-rounder, and give him a chance to win the starting job to open the 2026 season. The Cleveland Browns took the 25-year-old placekicker with the 124th overall pick in 2022 out of LSU. York has only kicked in the NFL for two seasons, going 33-for-45 on field goals (73.3%) and 51-for-54 on his extra-point attempts in 23 games played for the Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, and Washington Commanders. He didn't play at all last year and spent the 2024 season with both Washington and Cincy. Right now, York and Lenny Krieg are the two kicking options on New York's roster. Fantasy managers will want to avoid the kicking situation for the Jets in 2026.

The New York Jets are acquiring veteran quarterback Geno Smith and a 2026 seventh-round draft pick from the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round selection, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Going into his 13th year in the NFL, the 35-year-old signal-caller will reunite with the organization that took him 39th overall in the second round of the 2013 NFL draft out of West Virginia. Justin Fields failed miserably as a big free-agent acquisition for the Jets last year, so now they will bring Smith back and have him likely compete with another free-agent veteran addition to the QB room. There has been a lot of smoke about Minnesota Vikings backup QB Carson Wentz as another option. Smith was a Pro Bowler in 2022 and 2023 in Seattle, but he flopped in 2025 with the Raiders, throwing for 3,025 yards, 19 touchdowns, and a league-high 17 picks. If Smith wins the starting QB gig in New York in 2026, he'll be a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues, at best.

SNY's Connor Hughes reports that "all signs right now are pointing" to former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith returning to the New York Jets this offseason. The Jets failed miserably with the free-agent acquisition of QB Justin Fields last March, so this year, they are looking to bring in two cheap veteran options at the position to compete for the starting job this summer. Other than Smith, the Jets are high on Minnesota Vikings veteran backup Carson Wentz. The 35-year-old Smith was drafted by the Jets back in 2013 out of West Virginia in the second round, and he played the first four seasons of his NFL career in New York. The 35-year-old was a Pro Bowler in 2022 and 2023 with the Seattle Seahawks in a late-career resurgence, but he was one of the worst signal-callers in 2025 with the Raiders, throwing for 3,025 yards, 19 touchdowns, and a league-high 17 interceptions in 15 starts. Smith would probably be the favorite if he's competing against Wentz, but not many fantasy managers will want much to do with him, even as a low-end QB2 in superflex formats.
