2022 Season Outlooks

With Russell Wilson shipped off to Denver, Smith will get the opportunity to compete with Drew Lock for the starting role in Seattle. Neither quarterback should be drafted in one-quarterback leagues regardless of who wins the battle, but Smith showed last year he could be useful in two-QB leagues. He averaged a very respectable 7.3 yards per attempt in his three starts with a stellar passer rating of 108.4. Whoever starts in Seattle will inherit one of the best receiving duos in the league and should be drafted in the middle rounds of a two-QB league. If you draft before the competition has been decided, both Smith and Lock should be drafted in the later rounds of that format.

Smith re-signed with Seattle and beat out Drew Lock for the team's starting job. Smith has played sparingly (15 appearances) during the last seven seasons, but made three starts in relief of an injured Russell Wilson in 2021. He totaled five touchdowns and threw zero INTs en route to one top-15 fantasy outing (seventh) during the span. Despite the respectable showing, Smith is now 31 years old and his best fantasy finish was 20th as a rookie back in 2013. He'll have a respectable group of targets (DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Noah Fant), but is unlikely to perform well enough to come anywhere close to starting consideration in fantasy. He shouldn't be drafted.
