Geno Smith Remains a Superflex-Only Option

Monday, July 27, 12:56 PM

New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith has the job. The fantasy ceiling is another question. Smith completed 67.4% of his passes for 3,025 yards and 19 touchdowns in Las Vegas last season, but he also led the NFL with 17 interceptions and was sacked 55 times across 15 starts. The Jets are giving him a different setup. Four starting offensive linemen return, and Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall, Adonai Mitchell, Kenyon Sadiq, and Omar Cooper Jr. give the offense several ways to move the ball. Aaron Glenn has already made it clear Smith will start, so volume should be there. His legs probably will not add much. Smith managed 109 rushing yards without a touchdown in 2025 and is now 35. RotoBaller ranks him QB31 for redraft and QB38 in dynasty. That makes him useful as a third quarterback in Superflex leagues, especially when the matchup is right. One-quarterback managers can wait. Smith would need a sharp passing rebound to become more than a streamer.

Dak Prescott News

Dak Prescott Being Slept on Again in 2026

Tuesday, July 21, 5:49 AM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott threw for 300+ yards a league-leading six times on his way to a fourth straight top-eight fantasy finish in as many fully healthy seasons. Perhaps because of the three injury-shortened campaigns mixed into that stretch, Prescott does not get the credit he deserves as one of fantasy's most consistent, high-ceiling assets, again landing around QB10 by current ADP. On a per-game basis, Prescott has averaged 22.6 fantasy points per start dating back to 2019, a number that would have made him a top two quarterback in each of the past three seasons, and with arguably the league's top receiver duo of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens returning for one more season together, the pieces remain in place for him to challenge for the top spot in 2026. Generally coming off the board in the middle to late rounds, Prescott is one of a handful of quarterbacks who make this a banner year to wait at the position, still offering league-winning upside at a low-QB1 discount.
