2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Sets career highs on MNF
Smith completed 38 of 56 pass attempts for 395 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing five times for 28 yards in Monday's 42-29 loss to the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Smith set career highs in passing attempts, completions and yards in a desperate attempt to keep the Seahawks afloat against a flawless Lions squad on Monday Night Football. The end result was positive for fantasy managers after the veteran QB threw for 300-plus yards for the second time in three weeks. Smith has struggled from a touchdown to turnover standpoint, throwing four of both through four games in 2024. The 3-1 Seahawks will set their sights on the Giants in a home matchup Sunday.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Injuries not serious
Smith, who's missed the Seahawks' last two practices with knee and hip injuries, isn't expected to endure a prolonged absence, Adam Schefter and Brady Henderson of ESPN report.
ANALYSIS
The veteran signal-caller had gotten off to a hot start in camp, but head coach Mike Macdonald mentioned recently that Smith had gotten "banged up a little bit" during Tuesday's practice. Smith then missed Seattle's Wednesday walk-through session and did not participate in Thursday's padded practice either, but his outlook is apparently positive overall. Sam Howell, who was acquired from the Commanders during the offseason, is getting the opportunity to work with the first-team offense in Smith's stead at the moment.
