Huddle Up: Smith has been the starter for the Seahawks for the last several seasons and is on track to keep that role for at least one more season. He has thrown for at least 4,200 yards in two of the last three seasons but probably will be a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues next season.

Huddle Up: Smith ranked in the top five this season with 4,320 passing yards and also threw 21 touchdowns during the season. He likely will continue to be the starting quarterback for the next few years but probably is only a No. 2 quarterback in most leagues.

Huddle Up: Not only was Smith's on-target mark a career best, but it was also accompanied by a career-low 10.4% bad-throw rate. Smith has no guaranteed money left on the final season of the three-year contract extension he signed back in 2023, but he has probably done enough during his time as the starter in Seattle to play out the deal. He will do so this year under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, who got the offense off to a great start in New Orleans this season before injuries ravaged the unit. Unfortunately, Kubiak's arrival is unlikely to provide Smith with enough of a bump to move him up from middling QB2 territory for fantasy purposes.

Huddle Up: Outside of a promising opening drive that ultimately short circuited in the red zone, the Seahawks struggled to move the ball all night. Still, they won, which sets up a potentially meaningful Week 18 game depending on what the Rams (and perhaps other teams) do this weekend. Smith also gets extra time to rest his balky knee. The veteran has had just three games this season where he's passed for multiple touchdowns, but one of them came against LA back on Nov. 3 when he put up 363 yards, 3 TDs, and 3 INTs. If the NFC West hangs in the balance, Smith might be worth deploying in Week 18.

Huddle Up: He's the QB12 on the season, but he's the QB22 over the last five games. It's expected to be cold and rainy against the Chicago Bears Thursday night, and he's a meager QB2 in fantasy with emphasis expected to be on the run game.

Huddle Up: Smith playing is good news for Seahawks pass-catchers, but in a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings' elite defense, he isn't a suggested lineup option.

Huddle Up: Smith has not had any limitations during practice this week and should be ready to play in the Week 16 game. He should have most of his pass catchers available for the game but can be avoided in most leagues.
