Geno Smith struggles to reassure fantasy managers ahead of 2026 season

Summary

Geno Smith leads the New York Jets into the 2026 fantasy football season. At 36, his limited versatility and declining performance raise concerns for managers. Over the last three seasons, he has thrown 60 touchdown passes in 47 games, suggesting little improvement for the upcoming season. Smith may face competition from rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik later in the year as the Jets develop their talent instead of focusing on immediate results. A successful season for Smith may hinge on elevating teammates rather than his own fantasy value.

What they're saying

"
Geno Smith enters the 2026 fantasy football season leading the New York Jets, but his profile leaves much to be desired for managers. He turns 36 in October, and at this stage of his career, there is no versatility in his game and not nearly enough upside with his arm to warrant a roster spot.
