Geno Smith's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith was solid for fantasy in Week 16 against the Minnesota Vikings. Smith tossed two interceptions, but he managed 314 passing yards and just his second three-touchdown game of the season. Smith also attempted 43 passes this week which was his highest total since Week 6. The volume led to fantasy fun for Smith and the various Seahawk pass catchers. The Vikings presented a great matchup for Seattle's passing game so the output is not surprising. However, the interceptions continue to be a problem for Smith. The two picks on Sunday marked his 14th and 15th of the season. It is a huge reason why the Seahawks are falling out of playoff contention. Still, Smith is a solid QB2 over the final weeks of the season. That is especially true in Week 17 when the Seahawks travel to face a Bears team that just got torched by Lions quarterback Jared Goff.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (knee) practiced in full all week and has been removed from the final Week 16 injury report. Smith will start on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings despite being pulled from the Sunday night loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 15 and never returning. Not only is it great news for fantasy managers looking to use Smith in two-QB leagues this week, but it's also excellent news for anyone with receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba and DK Metcalf in their lineups. The 34-year-old Smith's mobility will most likely affected -- not that he was much of a threat to run to begin with. The two-time Pro Bowler comes into Week 16 action averaging 19.4 fantasy points per game, which is tied with Joe Flacco for 16th among all QBs in 2024. Against an aggressive Vikings defense, Smith checks in as a volatile QB2 for fantasy managers in the semifinals in most leagues.

According to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (knee) expects to play on Sunday. When asked about his potential availability, he noted that he expects to be available. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status on the injury report in case he faces a setback. Smith suffered this knee injury during last weekend's loss to the Green Bay Packers. However, he opened the week as a full participant in practice, which is a positive sign for his availability. Before exiting last weekend's game, Smith went 15-for-19 with 149 yards and an interception. If Smith can suit up, fantasy managers in Superflex formats should view him as a solid QB2 facing a Minnesota defense that has allowed the 16th-most points to opposing QBs this season.UPDATE: Smith practiced in full again on Thursday.
