Fantasy football managers preparing for Week 8 should consider starting New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith while benching Denver Broncos rookie Bo Nix, according to latest projections and rankings.
The recommendation comes as Smith led the Jets against the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on October 25, 2026. Smith, wearing number 7, threw a pass during the second quarter of that matchup.
Analyst Thomas Carelli published the Week 8 quarterback projections on October 28, 2026, highlighting Smith as a favorable start and Nix as a player to avoid in fantasy lineups.
