Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Trevor Lawrence

Friday, December 1, 3:55 AM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith had an unexpected bounce-back against one of the league's toughest defenses. After the 49ers held him to 180 passing yards in Week 12, Smith went off against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, going 23-for-41 for 334 yards and three touchdowns. He added another six yards on two rushes, one of which was a five-yard dash for another score. The game wasn't without its miscues, however. Smith gave up an interception to DaRon Bland (who did NOT run it back for a pick-six) and while he avoided being sacked all game, he made several errant throws in the final five minutes while under heavy pressure from the Cowboys' pass rush. The Seahawks now have a mini-bye before their Week 14 rematch against San Francisco, where Smith will hope to build off of this performance and salvage Seattle's playoff chances.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 23-of-38 passes for 364 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 24-21 win against Houston. Lawrence also added a touchdown with his legs in the game. After a slow start to 2023, Lawrence appears to have turned a corner, as that is now back-to-back 20+ point games for the young quarterback. His 24.6 fantasy points scored were also his second-highest output of the season. The chemistry with WR Calvin Ridley that was on display in the preseason is now officially heating up, with 12 hookups for 192 yards and three touchdowns between the duo over the past two games. The former first-overall pick has some tough matchups on the horizon with Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Baltimore, but he is in quite a rhythm right now and is firmly on the QB1 radar.
