Geno Smith Offers Week 7 Streaming Appeal Against Miami

Saturday, October 24, 6:56 AM

New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith is a QB2 and streaming consideration in deeper one-quarterback leagues because the Miami Dolphins, visiting Sunday, have converted an NFL-low 8.2% of their pressures into sacks, while Smith has faced pressure on 42.7% of his dropbacks. He completed 20 of 30 passes for 252 yards, a touchdown, and an interception against the New England Patriots in Week 6, bringing his season totals to 1,336 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception with a 68.9% completion rate. Adonai Mitchell's return gives him another receiving option alongside Garrett Wilson and Omar Cooper Jr. He has thrown multiple touchdown passes only once this season and has contributed just 42 rushing yards.

Malik Willis News

Malik Willis Plays Turnover-Free Football for the First Time in 2026

Sunday, October 25, 7:20 PM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis completed 14 of his 21 pass attempts for 208 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and zero turnovers during Sunday's Week 7 win over the New York Jets. He also had eight rushing attempts, 37 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown. Willis' big game was significant for a few reasons. First of all, this was Willis' first game of 2026 with at least three total touchdowns. It was also his first time this year finishing a game without a turnover. Additionally, the strong performance helped lead Miami to its first victory of the campaign. The Dolphins are now 1-5 and will run into a much tougher test next week in the form of the New England Patriots, who just allowed 308 yards and two touchdowns to Caleb Williams on a short week. Willis' rushing upside keeps him in the QB2 territory for fantasy football, but his previous turnover problems give him a relatively lower floor.
