Geno Smith

Geno Smith completed 21-of-29 passes for 212 yards and an interception in the Seahawks’ 31-10, Week 8 loss to the Bills.

DK Metcalf was out with a sprained MCL this week and his absence was felt for four quarters of grueling football from the Seahawks. Smith had 17 passes go for more than 20 yards through seven weeks. Metcalf was on the receiving end of nine of them. He had no such plays versus Buffalo. Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the pass-catchers with six grabs for 69 yards. On top of the receiver woes, Geno also struggled to get on the same page as his center. Seattle had two drives ruined inside the five-yard line because of center Connor Williams. Williams sailed a snap over Smith’s head for a catastrophic loss in the second quarter. He later stepped on Smith’s foot on fourth-and-goal, tackling his own player for a turnover on downs. Smith will look to get back on track in Week 9 against the Rams. Fantasy managers should treat him as a QB2 if Metcalf is not able to play.
