The Seattle Seahawks will face the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Geno Smith.
Is Geno Smith Playing in Week 15?
Smith is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any unexpected setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.
We’ll continue to monitor the Seahawks’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Geno Smith in Week 15?
Smith has completed 16 of 19 passes against the blitz during Seattle’s current four-game win streak (3 of 7 in losses before this run). That’s a nice trend to take into a game against a Packers defense that elected to heat up Jared Goff with a blitz on 32.6% of dropbacks, their highest rate of the season.
We’ll see if that level of aggression sustains in this spot and if Smith can continue to handle it with grace. Green Bay is coming off the mini-bye, and I don’t have much confidence in the creativity of Seattle’s offense, something that has me ranking their QB outside of my top 15 this weekend.
Smith has one finish better than QB20 since Week 7 despite plus volume. If Josh Jacobs can continue to dictate tempo, I’m not sure there are enough possessions for the Seahawks in order to make Smith a viable option in standard 1QB formats.
