In the latest episode of NFL Offseason Chaos, the Seattle Seahawks have traded quarterback Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders for a 2025 third-round pick. That’s right – the guy who went from Russell Wilson’s backup to Pro Bowler is now packing his bags for Sin City, where Pete Carroll is assembling his old crew like it’s Ocean’s Eleven.

What does this mean for fantasy football? Let’s break it down, roast some teams, and make some bold predictions that might just come true.

Fantasy Winners and Losers

Winners:

• Brock Bowers, TE, Raiders – If you thought Bowers was already a fantasy football lock, this trade just put his stock into overdrive. Geno loves throwing to tight ends, and without a clear WR1 in Vegas, Bowers should lead the team in targets. He’s a top-five TE waiting to happen.

• Jakobi Meyers, WR, Raiders – Meyers was quietly solid last year, but the Raiders’ QB situation was shakier than a Jenga tower in an earthquake. With Geno, he gets some much-needed stability and should be a high-end WR2 in PPR formats.

Losers:

• The Seahawks’ Offense – Seattle’s quarterback depth chart now consists of Sam Howell and Jaren Hall. That’s it. If they don’t draft a QB, DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba might spend the season running wind sprints for no reason.

• Raiders Fans Who Wanted a Rookie QB – Hope you weren’t dreaming of a young prospect quarterback, because Pete Carroll just handed you Geno Smith instead.

Seattle’s Offense: The Great Unknown

The Seahawks’ current QB room has all the excitement of… Nope. With Sam Howell penciled in as the starter (for now), it’s looking grim for Seattle’s pass-catchers.

• Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Seahawks – If Metcalf gets traded (which is now a real possibility), JSN becomes the No. 1 option by default. Expect a ton of volume, even if the targets are… questionable.

• Kenneth Walker III, RB, Seahawks – Seattle might have no choice but to run the ball 35 times a game. If nothing else, Walker could be a volume monster.

Bold Predictions That Might Actually Happen

1. Geno Smith Leads the Raiders to the Playoffs – A Pete Carroll reunion, a decent supporting cast, and a weak AFC playoff race? Geno might just sneak Vegas into the postseason.

2. Brock Bowers Finishes as a Top-3 Fantasy TE – second year tight ends usually struggle, but Geno’s arrival changes everything. Bowers could put up numbers right away.

3. Seattle Drafts a QB in Round One – Unless they plan on running the Wildcat all season, the Seahawks have to find a QB in the draft.

4. DK Metcalf Gets Traded – If Seattle is going full rebuild, moving Metcalf makes sense. Teams like the Ravens, Bills, or Lions could be calling any minute.

Final Thoughts

Geno Smith in Vegas is either going to be a sneaky-good move or a complete disaster. Meanwhile, Seattle’s offense is now in full-on panic mode unless they draft a competent QB.

Fantasy managers, take note: Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers are winners, while Seattle’s pass-catchers are in serious trouble. The NFL offseason just got a whole lot more interesting.
