ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is the perfect streaming option for fantasy football players for the next few weeks. The veteran had a rocky performance in Week 3, totaling 11.4 fantasy points after throwing two interceptions. However, he was productive outside of the turnovers, totaling 289 passing yards, including a 71-yard bomb to DK Metcalf.

While Smith only scored 11.4 fantasy points last week, the veteran had 17.8 or more in the first two games this year. More importantly, he has an appealing matchup in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions.
The Lions have surrendered 16.1 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks over the first three weeks. However, Smith has always had Detroit’s number, totaling at least 300 passing yards and two touchdowns in his past two matchups against the NFC North reigning champions. He is the perfect two-week streaming option with a matchup against the New York Giants in Week 5.
