Geno Smith News
Wednesday, August 5, 9:19 AM
New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith has consistently looked to attack all three levels of the field during training camp, according to Connor Rogers. Rogers noted that Smith has pushed the ball downfield to the wide receivers while giving Omar Cooper Jr. and Isaiah Williams chances underneath. The tight ends have also been involved in the intermediate area. That approach is encouraging for Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell, but it is still only an early look at Frank Reich's offense. Smith is coming off a difficult season with Las Vegas in which he threw for 3,025 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions across 15 starts. RotoBaller currently ranks him as the QB30, which leaves him outside the standard redraft picture. A more aggressive passing game could help Smith outperform that ranking, but for now he remains a deep Superflex option rather than a dependable weekly starter.

Anthony Richardson Sr. News
Thursday, August 6, 7:02 AM
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. has been competing with second-year player Riley Leonard for the primary backup spot behind Daniel Jones, and according to Jake Arthur of Colts Roundtable, he has been "riding a roller coaster" throughout training camp. With his physical gifts rarely in question, the former fourth overall pick has made some of the most impressive throws of camp, but he's also struggled with some of the fundamentals that should not be slowing him down in his fourth professional season, bobbling or dropping several shotgun snaps. Arthur credits him with a 76.2% completion rate in 11-on-11 sessions, though it's important to note that most of his action has come against the second and third-team defenses with Jones showing little ill effect from his season-ending Achilles injury and handling the majority of the work with the ones. Richardson has fallen to QB35 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings, but with his natural abilities translating so strongly to fantasy, he remains a frustrating hold who can still put up points in bunches whenever he finds the field.
