Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Brian Hoyer

New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith is being investigated for an incident in which a woman accused him of battery, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Police officers were summoned to Smith's home in Florida on Sunday after a woman claiming to be his ex-girlfriend called 911 and said she was assaulted by him. Nobody was arrested or taken into custody at the scene, with the Davie Police Department saying on Monday that it's "not an active case" and is still being reviewed. "We were informed [Monday] evening that, during review, it was determined that this case is being further investigated by detectives. It is active, and we cannot release any additional information at this time," a police spokesperson said in an update on Tuesday. After a rough season with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025, in which he led the league with 17 interceptions, the Jets acquired him in a trade this offseason, and he's expected to open the 2026 season as their starter, barring a suspension from the league. Even if Smith isn't disciplined by the NFL for this off-the-field incident, he'll be an unattractive low-end QB2 in superflex leagues in 2026.
