Geno Smith Is Best Suited for Superflex Leagues Against Buffalo

Saturday, November 14, 6:30 AM

New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith was sacked five times for a loss of 42 yards at Kansas City, where his longest completion went for 19 yards. New York has allowed 28 sacks in nine games. Buffalo held Minnesota without a third-down conversion on eight attempts last week, though the Bills have allowed 15 passing touchdowns in eight games. Smith has a better chance to test that secondary downfield if Garrett Wilson (concussion) plays. Wilson was limited Thursday, practiced fully Friday and is questionable. Smith has completed nine passes of at least 40 yards this season, but he threw for just 165 yards and no touchdowns without Wilson in Week 9. RotoBaller ranks Smith QB16 for Week 10. He fits as a Superflex starter, particularly if he gets his leading receiver back. Smith has rushed for 54 yards without a touchdown through nine games. Buffalo kept Minnesota out of the end zone last week and intercepted two passes. With little rushing production to offset a quiet passing day, Smith is a sit in typical one-quarterback leagues.

Bryce Young an Intriguing Start in Week 10 Versus Saints

Friday, November 13, 3:05 PM

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young rebounded in Week 9 in a matchup against the Broncos that was tough on paper, finishing as the QB6 after posting QB18 and QB24 finishes the previous two weeks. Young finished the day with 28 completions for 276 yards and three touchdowns, bringing his passing touchdown total to 17 on the year. This performance makes Young all the more intriguing in his Week 10 matchup versus the New Orleans Saints, whose defense ranks 14th in fantasy points per game given up to opposing QBs and has allowed 255.6 passing yards per game. They have also allowed 18 or more fantasy points to QBs in three of their last four matchups. The Panthers' offensive line has been struggling with injuries, but it still enabled Young to perform well last week. The Saints' defense has a lower pressure rate than their Week 9 opponent, sitting at 19th in the league, which could once again give Young room to make plays. He is a borderline top-12 QB play this week and can be comfortably started as RotoBaller's QB13.
