Geno Smith News
Saturday, October 17, 7:49 AM
New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith has completed 69.4% of his passes for 1,084 yards, six touchdowns, and no interceptions through five games, but those numbers have not translated into consistently useful fantasy performances. He managed only 182 passing yards and one touchdown against Cleveland in Week 5, marking his second consecutive outing below 200 yards. Protection remains another concern, with Smith already taking 16 sacks this season. The Jets now travel to New England to face a Patriots defense coming off an impressive performance against Las Vegas, which managed just 17 points in Week 5. Smith's connection with Garrett Wilson provides some upside, but New York has not generated enough offensive production to support dependable quarterback scoring. RotoBaller ranks Smith QB28 for Week 6, leaving him outside the starting conversation in conventional one-quarterback leagues. Even in superflex formats, he profiles as a lower-end option.

Caleb Williams News
Saturday, October 17, 12:47 PM
The Chicago Bears are "planning to start" quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) in Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Williams has been sidelined since Week 2 by a hamstring injury and is officially listed as questionable to play on Sunday, but Rapoport reports that the third-year QB is "ready to roll." Across two games before getting hurt, Williams threw for 407 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for 107 yards and two scores. Coming off of a hamstring injury, Williams may not be quite as aggressive as a runner right away. Still, the 24-year-old carries tremendous upside for fantasy managers while he's at the helm of the high-powered Bears offense. Williams profiles as a low-end QB1 option for fantasy managers in Week 6 against Atlanta.
