Week 1 Fantasy Football Lineup Advice: Start 'Em
Quarterbacks
Geno Smith: Last season, Smith finished as a top 5 fantasy quarterback, and his outlook is even brighter with the addition of Smith-Njigba to give him what might be the best wide receiver trio in the NFL. The Rams' secondary will have a very challenging assignment trying to handle Smith's top targets, and there are always extra options for him to consider, including the tight ends and Charbonnet as a pass-catcher out of the backfield.
In 2022, Smith led the NFL with 10 games of two-plus TD passes, and his 30 total TD passes led the NFC. He averaged 18.5 fantasy points per game, and should better that number in Week 1, as Smith has a deep arsenal to utilize against the Rams' defense.
