Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Derek Carr

Monday, September 18, 5:47 AM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith went 32-for-41 for 328 passing yards and 2 touchdowns and had 20 rushing yards on three carries against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. It is the fifth time since the start of 2022 that he has thrown for 300 or more yards while maintaining a 70% completion rate. His touchdown passes both went to wide receiver Tyler Lockett. The first came in the fourth quarter to give the Seahawks a 24-21 lead. The second ended the game in overtime after Smith marched the Seahawks down the field on their first possession of the extra period. The 32-year-old veteran will look to flirt with QB1 numbers again when Seattle hosts the Carolina Panthers.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr has led the team to a 2-0 record, but his on-field efforts have not translated into fantasy football production. Carr has only thrown for one touchdown through two games, and he is unlikely to stuff the stat sheet in what should be a lower-scoring matchup with the Green Bay Packers. Only consider playing him in superflex leagues, and even then it may be wise to explore other options.
