2025 Fantasy Outlook

Smith made some confounding errors last season, especially in the red zone where he threw a league-high four interceptions, but he also didn't get much help from his coaches or offensive line. The Seahawks ranked near the bottom of the league in run rate, pre-snap motion, play-action passes and snaps under center, continually putting the burden on Smith and his receivers. Smith's career high of 4,320 yards was built on volume (578 attempts, 4th in NFL), and while he's an accurate passer, his 78.7 on-target percentage (2nd) was inflated by an average target depth that fell to a three-year low of 7.2 yards, perhaps suppressed in part by a late-season quest to earn a salary bonus for completion percentage (6.6-yard aDOT in his last five games). He got the bonus (career-high 70.4 completion percentage) but missed the playoffs and finished with his most interceptions (15) since his rookie year. That's how it went. The Raiders traded for him in March and gave him the contract the Seahawks refused, reuniting Smith with coach Pete Carroll, his biggest champion. Smith won't get as many attempts in Las Vegas, as Chip Kelly's offense will run through rookie RB Ashton Jeanty, and there aren't many weapons in the passing game. Brock Bowers is arguably the best pass catcher among NFL tight ends, but Jakobi Meyers is underqualified as a No. 1 WR and won't have much help unless second-round pick Jack Bech develops quickly. The mediocre weapons and likelihood of decreased volume mean Smith probably won't match last season's QB14 finish, but he should stay relevant in two-QB leagues. Read Past Outlooks

Agrees to extension

QBLas Vegas Raiders

April 3, 2025

The Raiders and Smith agreed to a two-year extension Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

ANALYSIS
Upon getting dealt from Seattle to Las Vegas on March 7, Smith still had one year remaining on his existing contract, but the Raiders have made a new commitment to the quarterback, with Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reporting the deal is worth $85.5 million, with $66.5 million guaranteed. The 34-year-old thus can be expected to be a Raider beyond the 2025 campaign after averaging 249.5 yards per game and compiling a 71:35 TD:INT over 49 starts the previous three seasons.

Skepticism of Smith’s QB5 finish in 2022 proved correct last season as he slumped to QB19. Smith missed two games, but even prorating his numbers to 17 games would jump him only to QB15, just behind Sam Howell, for whom the Seahawks traded in March to back up Smith. Smith’s accuracy took a big step back last season. His on-target rate dropped by four percentage points, moving from fourth in the league to 21st, while his completion percentage dropped by five points, from the league leader to 18th, just behind Mac Jones. Oddly, the drop was mostly because of inaccuracy on short passes. Smith increased his rate of attempts at or behind the line of scrimmage (16.4 to 20.2 percent) but his on-target percentage sank from 80.5 (12th) to 69.8, last in the league. Smith was still an effective downfield passer -- as in 2022, he was on target with 60.0 percent of his attempts of 20-plus yards -- but his TDs on deep throws dropped from 10 to two. Positive regression in that area is likely, and the offense could be more dynamic overall under new coordinator Ryan Grubb, who inherits one of the best WR trios in the league. Better health on the offensive line would help everyone, after last year's team had nine blockers top 200 snaps thanks to revolving doors at right tackle and right guard. A bounce back in rushing yardage (366 vs. 155) would go a long way for Smith's fantasy production too.

Smith did the unthinkable last season -- he made Seahawks fans forget about Russell Wilson. Wilson’s Denver implosion obviously played a part, but it was Smith’s unexpected success in leading Seattle to the playoffs that really turned the page. He led the league in completion percentage (69.8) and was fourth in on-target percentage (75.9) and TD passes (30). And he did it as one of the best deep-ball passers in the league. Smith’s 60 percent on-target rate on attempts of 20-plus yards tied for the league lead, his 49.1 completion percentage ranked second and his 10 TD passes were third. Smith finished QB5 in fantasy (QB9 per game) but skepticism understandably abounds for a repeat. The Seahawks, though, appear to have a better offense around him now. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the 20th overall pick in this year’s draft, gives Seattle a third receiver it didn’t have last season to go with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, one of the league’s best WR duos. The Seahawks also added RB Zach Charbonnet in Round 2 to team with explosive 2022 second-round pick Kenneth Walker. Up front, Seattle’s young line is on the upswing, though the center spot is uncertain heading into training camp. Smith also adds a bit of rushing (eighth among QBs in rushing yards) to help his fantasy prospects. Perhaps Smith won’t finish top 5 among quarterbacks again, but he should still have value in single-QB leagues.

Smith played four games (three starts) last year in place of an injured Russell Wilson and looked like the backup he is. Two games ended on Smith turnovers, and in another game the only TD came on an uncalled OPI. His only win came at home against the Jaguars. Nevertheless, Smith competed with Drew Lock for the starting job this offseason, training camp and preseason, ultimately being name the starter at the end of exhibition season. In the end, the Seahawks may have resorted to the known commodity in Smith out of necessity. The team has excellent WRs in Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, and while new TE Noah Fant provides a third solid receiving option, Seattle could be more run-heavy than ever this year. Smith figures to be below average in both passing volume and efficiency.

Smith has served as Russell Wilson's backup for the past two seasons, and he's taken the field in just one game, logging 18 snaps. The 30-year-old signal-caller hasn't played more than 66 offensive snaps in a season since 2014, and that won't change in 2021 unless Wilson gets hurt.

Smith didn't play at all in 2019 behind Russell Wilson, and he'll audition for the backup job again this season. However, this time around may be tougher after the Seahawks signed undrafted rookie Anthony Gordon, who racked up 48 touchdowns and 16 interceptions in his senior year at Washington State. Smith hasn't played meaningful snaps since 2017, so his battle against Gordon could go through the preseason.

Since being drafted in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft, Smith hasn't finished a season with an impressive stat line and he's thrown just 96 passes over the last four years. However, he has had a decent preseason competing with Paxton Lynch, who has a head injury keeping him on the sidelines, to be Russell Wilson's backup in 2019. Even if Smith wins over the backup job, his opportunities will likely be scarce since Wilson hasn't missed a game in his seven-year career.

The fact that the 27-year-old actually started a game for the Giants in 2017 ahead of a healthy Eli Manning says more about the organization's dysfunction than Smith's capabilities behind center, as the West Virginia alum was quickly displaced after his Week 13 start. Now in Los Angeles, Smith joins a quarterback depth chart led by 36-year-old Philip Rivers, as well as promising youngster Cardale Jones. While Smith certainly won't overtake the grizzled veteran on the depth chart, there's a chance his experience and athleticism could give him the edge in what figures to be a spirited fight for the backup role.

Smith was brought in to back up Eli Manning and won't see action unless Manning were to get hurt. Smith suffered a torn ACL in Week 7 last year, but claims to be completely healthy in camp. Should Smith get a shot, he'd have a modicum of upside given the weapons at his disposal and his ability to generate points with his legs.

It's been a tumultuous career in New York for Smith, to say the least. A second-round pick in 2013, he played all 16 games as a rookie, but then had trouble keeping an aging Michael Vick on the bench in 2014, and barely played last season after a locker-room fight with a teammate left Smith with a broken jaw that sidelined him for six weeks and opened the door for Ryan Fitzpatrick to seize the starting job. From a physical standpoint, Smith has all the tools to succeed in the NFL. He's got the mobility to escape pressure and move the chains as a scrambler, and the arm strength to stretch the field or fit the ball into tight coverage windows. However, his pocket awareness was rudimentary coming out of a college spread offense, and his shaky footwork leaves his accuracy far below modern NFL standards. Smith is still young enough to turn things around, and as Fitzpatrick proved in 2015, the Jets have the weapons in the passing game to make even average QBs look good.

The good news is that Smith cut his interceptions from 21 in 2013 to 13 last year. The bad news is pretty much everything else. Smith threw only 13 touchdowns in 13 starts and was benched midseason for Michael Vick. His dismal YPA did not improve from the previous year, and his completion percentage the last two years (57.5) ranks 37th out of 41 qualified quarterbacks. With a new regime in town this season, Smith was expected to compete for the starting job with Ryan Fitzpatrick, until he was punched by a teammate during training camp. Smith is now expected to miss at least the first two games of the season with a broken jaw, leaving Fitzpatrick as the starter by default. If he eventually gets healthy and takes the job back, Smith will at least have an improved supporting cast after the Jets traded for Brandon Marshall and drafted deep-threat Devin Smith in the second round. Those two join last season's leading receiver Eric Decker and 6-5 tight end Jace Amaro. Smith is physically gifted — quick release, strong arm, nice touch, good athleticism — but hasn't demonstrated the ability to consistently read defenses or make good decisions.

As long as he holds the starting role over Michael Vick, Smith should establish decent QB2 value. His average of 6.9 YPA last year was respectable considering his extremely weak supporting cast, and his rushing production (366 yards and six touchdowns) was rather impressive. He'll likely throw with significantly better efficiency now that the Jets added Eric Decker, Jace Amaro and Chris Johnson as pass-catching threats.

Smith's draft-day experience didn't go as planned, and now he'll be competing with a quarterback who was over-drafted in Mark Sanchez. Smith probably needs a year to sit, but he might not have that luxury with the Jets. Look for the rookie to run the ball more often than he did in college. Without established playmakers on his side, though, he’s a long shot to thrive as a passer.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Better numbers with Raiders?

QBLas Vegas Raiders

May 24, 2025

In his projection of performances for quarterbacks who changed teams during the offseason, Kevin Patra of NFL.com believes Smith will have better statistical numbers in 2025 with the Raiders than he did last season with the Seahawks.

ANALYSIS
Smith earned consecutive Pro Bowl nods in 2022 and 2023, but he struggled in 2024. He finished with a 70.4 percent completion percentage with 4,320 yards and 21 touchdowns in 17 regular-season games, but his 15 interceptions were his most since 2013 as a member of the Jets, when he threw 21 picks. The veteran quarterback is surrounded by offensive weapons in Brock Bowers, Ashton Jeanty, Jakobi Myers and Jack Bech. Patra believes Smith should put up better numbers on a Raiders team that averaged just 303.2 yards per game last season, which was sixth worst in the NFL.
