Perhaps you’re in a deep league, need a quarterback streaming option and Alex Smith and Carson Palmer aren’t available. Geno Smith could be your dude.

We all know he was dreadful last year, as no player accumulated a worse Passing NEP total than Smith. But against bottom half defenses, Geno actually scored an average of almost 19 fantasy points per game. That’s what he’ll face this week against Oakland, a team that ranked fourth-to-last against the pass last year.

Smith also has more weapons than he did last season, especially with the addition of ex-Denver Bronco Eric Decker. He’s bound to perform better, and could get things going as soon as Week 1.
