Geno Smith News

Geno Smith a Low-End Option Against Green Bay

Saturday, September 19, 5:42 AM

Geno Smith did what the Jets needed in the opener. He completed 19 of 24 passes for 215 yards, did not turn the ball over, and was never sacked in the win over Tennessee. The problem for fantasy is that New York had little reason to ask much more of him. The Jets ran 39 times and controlled the game for long stretches, a formula they would probably be happy to use again Sunday. Green Bay did allow three passing touchdowns last week, but Minnesota still finished with only 151 gross passing yards. Smith is QB27 in RotoBaller's Week 2 rankings. There could be a little more volume here if Green Bay pushes the score, but Smith is still much easier to use in Superflex than in a standard one-quarterback league.

Kyler Murray News

Kyler Murray Expected to Return in Week 3

Sunday, September 20, 7:12 AM

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray (concussion) was ruled out for the Week 2 divisional clash against the Chicago Bears this weekend after suffering a scary concussion in the Week 1 season-opening win over the division-rival Green Bay Packers, but per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Murray is expected to clear the league's concussion protocol and is "on track" to play in a Week 3 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 27. Veteran Carson Wentz will make the start under center for Minnesota against Chicago after throwing three touchdowns and leading the Vikings to a come-from-behind victory over Green Bay last weekend. The Bears' defense nearly allowed 40 points to the Carolina Panthers in the season opener, so Wentz could be in play in deep two-QB leagues in Week 2. Murray, meanwhile, should be held anywhere he is rostered, as he still has a good chance of bouncing back in his first year with the Vikings if he can stay healthy moving forward.
