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
Leads team to important win
Smith completed 24 of 30 pass attempts for 233 yards and a touchdown while attempting one rush for no gain in Sunday's 30-18 victory over the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Smith kept the chains moving against a division rival with efficient play from the pocket while going 7-for-15 on third-down attempts, helping his team hold onto sole possession of first place in the NFC West following the victory. The veteran signal-caller let Seattle's rushing attack do the heavy lifting against Arizona on the back of Zach Charbonnet's standout effort (22-134-2). Smith hasn't been asked to do much over the Seahawks' current win streak, but he could be in store for more work against a high-powered Packers offense next 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
Might not stick in Seattle
The Seahawks may not re-sign Smith this offseason, Dan Graziano of ESPN speculates.
ANALYSIS
Smith has played well enough this season and has the Seahawks in position to win the NFC West. However, Graziano cites the team's hesitancy to commit a significant amount of the salary cap to the quarterback position as a reason it may move on from Smith, who turned 34 in October. An alternative may be difficult for the team to find, however, as they won't have the draft position to land a top option in the 2025 class and would have to pay plenty in free agency or a trade to acquire a new franchise QB.
