The New York Jets selected Clemson QB Cade Klubnik in Round 4 of the 2026 NFL Draft. A five-star recruit, Klubnik started for three years at Clemson. He ended his career third in career passing yards at Clemson, but Klubnik struggled to make a major impact over his final two seasons. In 2025, Klubnik finished with 2,943 yards with 16 TDs and 6 INTs. His lack of arm strength in an RPO-style offense limited Klubnik’s production and consistency. Among the 15 QBs invited to the NFL Combine, Klubnik ranked seventh in 2025 adjusted completion percentage (77.6%), and ninth in aDOT (8.4). He ranked 10th in 2025 Big Time Throw rate (3.8%) and 11th in rushing yards per game when removing sacks (28.1). He is currently 22 years old.

The New York Jets selected Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq with the 16th pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. Sadiq’s production profile is not as impressive as recent first-round TEs Brock Bowers, Tyler Warren, or Colston Loveland. He caught just five balls as a freshman and was out-produced by TE Terrance Ferguson as a sophomore in 2024. Sadiq set career highs across the board this past season, leading Oregon with 51 catches and 8 TDs and finishing second to WR Malik Benson with 560 yards. But his 1.62 yards per route ranked just 10th among 27 of the top TEs in this year’s class. For perspective, Bowers, Warren and Loveland all topped 2.6 yards per route in their final college seasons. On the plus side, Sadiq just turned 21 in March and lit up the Combine. He clocked a 4.39-second 40 time with a 43.5-inch vertical to earn a 9.52 Relative Athletic Score. Sadiq is a bit undersized at 6’3, 241 pounds but holds up well as a blocker. He should be able to stay on the field for all three downs. And he’s a three-level threat as a receiver, possessing plus route running and after-catch skills. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler calls Sadiq a “Vernon Davis-like weapon.”

Jets HC Aaron Glenn confirmed that QB Geno Smith will be the starter. "No doubt about it, he's our guy," Glenn told NFL Network's Judy Battista.

The Raiders are sending QB Geno Smith to the Jets, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The price for his new/old team is a mere pick swap, with the Jets sending a sixth-rounder to Vegas and getting a seventh back. Smith originally went to the Jets in the second round of the 2013 draft and started 29 games across his first two years before getting benched and then banished. He spent a year with the Giants, another with the Chargers, and then six with the Seahawks. That's where he grew into a starter. But Seattle traded him after three starting seasons in favor of Sam Darnold.

The Raiders plan to release QB Geno Smith at the start of the new league year next week, according to multiple reports. Vegas tried to find a trade partner but unsurprisingly found no suitors. Smith was set to count $40 million against the 2026 cap. His release will save the Raiders $8 million.

Raiders QB Geno Smith (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. HC Pete Carroll said Friday that both Kenny Pickett and Aidan O’Connell could get time under center in the finale. It’s obviously a situation to avoid in all fantasy formats.

Raiders QB Geno Smith suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Giants and won't return. He's been replaced by QB Kenny Pickett. We'll see who mercifully ends Vegas' season against the Chiefs next weekend.

Update: Smith has a high-ankle sprain, HC Pete Carroll said after the game. He's a long shot to play vs. Kansas City.

Raiders QB Geno Smith (shoulder, back) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. He’ll start Sunday’s game vs. the Texans but is not a recommended play in any fantasy format. Vegas is implied for a pathetic 11.75 points.

Raiders QB Geno Smith (shoulder, back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He should be back under center this weekend but isn't a fantasy option in any format against Houston's top-ranked QB defense. The Raiders are implied for a pathetic 11.75 points.

Raiders QB Geno Smith (shoulder, back) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Eagles. HC Pete Carroll said Friday that Smith has a good chance to return for Week 16. But QB Kenny Pickett makes his first start of the season on Sunday. He’s not even a recommended play in 2-QB leagues, although it’s tough to consider Pickett a downgrade considering how poorly Smith has played this season.

Raiders QB Geno Smith (shoulder) won't practice on Wednesday and is considered "unlikely" to play vs. the Eagles this weekend, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That'll put QB Kenny Pickett under center for Vegas. He went 8-of-11 for 97 yards and a score in relief of Smith last week but owns a career 62.5% completion rate and 6.3 yards-per-attempt average. Smith has been mostly bad for the Raiders this year, but don't expect Pickett to be a tangible upgrade. Vegas is implied for a week-low 13.25 points in Philadelphia.

Raiders QB Geno Smith was knocked out in the second half of Sunday's game vs. the Broncos with a right shoulder injury. He threw for 116 yards and a score before exiting. QB Kenny Pickett handled mop up duty, completing 5 of 7 passes for 64 yards and 1 TD. We'll look for more info on Smith's injury, but this will continue to be a QB room to avoid in fantasy lineups.

The Raiders fired OC Chip Kelly. He became the highest-paid coordinator in the NFL back in February and winds up lasting just 11 games. Vegas ranks 31st in points per game (15.0), 30th in total yards per game (268.9) and 30th in offensive EPA (-77.8). In Kelly's defense, QB Geno Smith has played poorly for most of the season, the offensive line is trash, and TE Brock Bowers was banged up for most of the first two months. The QB play and offensive line aren't changing the rest of the way, so Kelly's departure is unlikely to matter for fantasy football purposes. The Raiders have not yet named an interim OC.

Raiders QB Geno Smith is not on the Week 11 injury report. He suffered a quad contusion in last Thursday night's loss to the Broncos but is good to go for this Monday night's game against the Cowboys. Smith has been incredibly volatile this season, but this matchup against the league's worst QB defense should swing him toward the upside.

Raiders QB Geno Smith suffered a quad contusion in the fourth quarter of Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos, HC Pete Carroll said afterward. Smith battled through the injury but could barely move. Asked whether the injury could cost Smith time going forward, Carroll said, "I don’t know that. It’s a thigh bruise. It’s not like some other injuries, it’s not one that he can’t get back from." Smith gets 10 days to heal up before the Raiders host the Cowboys on Monday Night Football in Week 11. If Smith can't go, QB Kenny Pickett would get the start. And if you thought this offense stunk with Geno ...

Sunday's return by Raiders TE Brock Bowers just happened to coincide with the best fantasy day of the season for QB Geno Smith. The QB delivered 284 yards and a season-high 4 TD tosses on 29-of-39 passing in a narrow loss to the Jaguars. Smith enters Monday night's game as the eighth-best fantasy QB for Week 9, by ESPN scoring. And his three multi-TD games this year have come in the past three contests he played with Bowers. Of course, the game ended negatively for Smith when he failed to find a receiver for what would have been the game-winning 2-point conversion late in OT.

Raiders QB Geno Smith delivered another stinker in Sunday's loss to the Colts. He went 25-of-36 passing for 228 yards, 0 TDs, and 2 INTs. Smith accumulated 134 of those yards in the first half, which ended with a mere 20-3 deficit. The Colts tacked on another 20 points in the third quarter, yet Smith couldn't get any teammate more than 5 receptions or 62 yards by the end.
