BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~108 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~121
ANALYSIS: There were many surprises last season in the NFL. However, the top one was Geno Smith, who had a Pro Bowl-caliber year. The veteran quarterback spent the past several years backing up Russell Wilson in Seattle and Philip Rivers in Los Angeles. While many expected him to lose his starting job to Drew Lock, Smith proved everyone wrong.
Last year, the former West Virginia star was the QB5, averaging 17.9 fantasy points per game. The veteran had 30 passing touchdowns, nearly beating his career total entering the season (34). More importantly, Smith finished fourth in the NFL in passing touchdowns, only behind Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Joe Burrow. However, those three superstars have a significantly higher ADP than Smith.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks did everything possible to help the veteran succeed this season. Despite all the noise that the team would draft Smith’s replacement, Seattle didn’t select a quarterback during the 2023 NFL Draft. Instead, they used two top-52 picks on Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Zach Charbonnet. They join an explosive unit of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Kenneth Walker III. Smith has the weapons around him to repeat his top-five finish from last year.
