The Top QB To Start in Week 2
Geno Smith, Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks completely laid an egg in every facet of the game in an embarrassing 30-13 home loss at the hands of the Cooper Kupp-less Los Angeles Rams.
Smith really struggled against one of the most inexperienced secondary units, with his most notable play from the season opener coming with some audio from a near-death experience involving Aaron Donald.

While his 112 passing yards to go with one score was a very disappointing performance, he has another favorable matchup this upcoming week against the Detroit Lions secondary, who gave up 226 passing yards — which could have been a lot more if not for multiple drops — to the Travis Kelce-less Kansas City Chiefs.
In what could be a high-scoring game, expect a bounce-back outing from Smith and the rest of the Seahawks offense.
