2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Efficiency Took a Hit
Smith entered the week as one of the league’s most accurate passers. He had completed 72.7% of his passes for 902 yards, 5 TDs and 0 INTs, with a 109.0 passer rating. Sunday’s 56.7% completion rate and 6.1 yards per attempt both fell below his 7.7 season mark. He has still yet to throw an INT through five games. Missing weapons explain part of the dip. Smith leaned heavily on Garrett Wilson, who drew 11 of his 29 targets, with Adonai Mitchell and Breece Hall sidelined. Cleveland entered allowing the 9th-most PPR points to QBs (19.1 per game) and ranked 17th in our pass defense power rankings.
The Jets visit the Patriots in Week 6, then host the Dolphins and Raiders. New England ranks 26th in PPR points allowed to QBs (14.4 per game) and 3rd in our pass defense power rankings, making it a clear sit. Miami is the best spot, ranking 14th (17.7) and 29th in our pass defense power rankings. Las Vegas ranks 15th (17.2) but 5th in pass defense power. Smith is a low-end QB2 who should only be a streaming option against weak defenses like the Dolphins
