Geno Smith fantasy outlook 2025: Points projection, stats and ADP for Raiders QB

The 2025 season will be a different one for Geno Smith. He will play under Pete Carroll’s leadership after a new head coach in 2024, but he is now a member of the Las Vegas Raiders after being traded in March.

A new team could change the outlook for Smith in fantasy football, with a new group of receivers and an offensive line, despite reuniting with his head coach.

Geno Smith's 2025 NFL fantasy outlook

The quarterback's numbers did not impress last season. He threw just 21 touchdowns and 15 interceptions, with his offensive line being a major issue. He was often pressured, and plays could not develop as much as the team wanted, making his job harder.

He was ranked as QB14 in standard rankings for 2024, and his status is likely to make him a backup quarterback in fantasy football for the upcoming season. He is projected to score 262.4 points in 2025.

Is Geno Smith a good fantasy pick this year?

The quarterback will be playing behind a subpar offensive line, with the Las Vegas Raiders struggling to protect their quarterback. The Raiders also drafted Ashton Jeanty, who is likely to become the focus of the offense.

Las Vegas plays in a division with three other teams that have strong defenses, meaning scoring in six of their 17 games will be difficult. Sportskeeda’s QB rankings for 2025 reflect that, listing him at No. 27.

The Raiders’ offense will certainly be upgraded with Smith under center, but he is unlikely to become a top fantasy performer. Their offensive floor, at least, should be much higher than in 2024.

Where should you pick Raiders quarterback Geno Smith?

FantasyPros lists Smith as QB25, consistent with Sportskeeda’s rankings. His projection took a significant hit compared with last season for the reasons outlined above.

As such, he will be a backup quarterback who can be taken in the final rounds of the draft, with fantasy managers prioritizing more important positions. His average draft position is 172.
