Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Jacoby Brissett

Tuesday, October 3, 1:12 AM

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that quarterback Geno Smith (knee) twisted his knee in the 24-3 blowout win over the New York Giants on Monday night. Carroll said that Smith will probably be sore on Tuesday, but his injury isn't considered serious. Smith had to leave the game and was noticeably upset at the Giants defender that tackled him awkwardly out of bounds in the second quarter. But he returned for the start of the second half and finished the contest going 13-for-20 for 110 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions in the easy win. The 32-year-old was sacked twice for a loss of 13 yards. Smith wasn't really asked to do much in this one and produced a disappointing line for his fantasy managers. He'll have ample time to rest his knee with the bye coming in Week 5 before a Week 6 tilt on the road in Cincinnati against the Bengals.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 10-of-15 passes for 96 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. With Sam Howell getting the night off, the Commanders turned to Brissett to lead the offense. The eighth-year journeyman looked strong in the pocket while giving Washington their first score of the game on a 39-yard pass to wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley. Although he's not the starter, Brissett appears to be a strong insurance policy that can keep Washington's offense afloat if things go south with Howell at any point.
