Over the last two weeks, that has turned him into a great option in fantasy football. Through the first two weeks, the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/seahawks\/\" target=\"_self\">Seattle Seahawks<\/a> were the slowest-paced team in the NFL and had run the least amount of offensive plays. That shifted in a massive way in Week 3. This newfound fast-paced offense combined with Smith\u2019s efficient play has caused a fantasy explosion. Smith is completing 77.3% of his passes, leading the NFL far and away. He is also running a bit as well. Smith\u2019s 17 carries rank 10th among all quarterbacks. Add it all up and he is the QB10 on the season after four weeks. The Week 5 matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/saints\/\" target=\"_self\">New Orleans Saints<\/a> is not ideal but they should be trailing and throwing plenty and they will be playing in a dome. The #LetGenoCook train should keep chugging making Smith one of the best Week 5 Stream Team options.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Geno Smith is your QB11 and is outscoring Russell Wilson (QB20) by 2.4 points per game.<\/p>\n<p>He is now No. 6 in designed rush attempts for QBs across the league of gridiron football in the year of 20 and 22.<\/p>\n<p>15.6% \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n<p>We know nothing. \ud83e\udd23\ud83d\ude02\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Dwain McFarland (@dwainmcfarland) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dwainmcfarland\/status\/1576922155714895872?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 3, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Zach Wilson<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><b>NYJ<\/b> <b>&#8211; 10%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) <\/span><b>v MIA<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Jameis Winston<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><b>NO<\/b> <b>&#8211; 36%) v SEA<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Running Back \u2013 Raheem Mostert (MIA &#8211; 50%) @ NYJ<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raheem Mostert has quietly been taking over the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/dolphins\/\" target=\"_self\">Miami Dolphins<\/a>&#8216; backfield. It might not have been noticeable from the production so far, but he\u2019s slowly seeing better and better usage. This past week Mostert saw 15 carries and three targets. What was even more encouraging was the fact that he set new career-highs in snaps and routes run. If Mostert is going to become more involved in the passing game, that will be huge towards making him an every-week starter. For now, it makes him a great Week 5 Stream Team option. This week\u2019s matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/jets\/\" target=\"_self\">New York Jets<\/a> is a juicy one. The Jets have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to running backs so far and play at a fast pace. The Dolphins will be without Tua Tagovailoa, but should still be playing from ahead as they are three-point road favorites. That should help Mostert to a nice day in this one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Mike Boone<\/b> <b>(DEN &#8211; 3%) v IND,<\/b> <b>Tyler Allgeier (ATL &#8211; 17%) @ TB<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Wide Receiver \u2013 Josh Reynolds (DET &#8211; 20%) @ NE<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/lionss\/\" target=\"_self\">Detroit Lions<\/a> had to roll out the B-squad this week but it didn\u2019t seem to matter. They were still able to hang 45 points on the Seahawks. Josh Reynolds played a big part in that. With all three of D\u2019Andre Swift, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and D.J. Chark out this weekend, other players needed to step up. Reynolds was able to see eight targets and caught seven of them for 81 yards and a touchdown. Reynolds has shown flashes in his career and although he doesn\u2019t profile as an alpha wide receiver, he can be serviceable in a pinch. This week it will be worth monitoring if the big-name Lions, especially St. Brown and Chark, are able to return. If they need to sit out another week, that will make Reynolds a great Week 5 Stream Team option against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/patriots\/\" target=\"_self\">New England Patriots<\/a>. The Patriots aren\u2019t a matchup to specifically target but they aren\u2019t one to specifically avoid either. The Lions have been a great source of fantasy production as they can put up a lot of points and they haven\u2019t been able to prevent the other team from doing the same. There isn\u2019t much reason to believe that would change this week.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Josh Reynolds in his last 3 games combined: <\/p>\n<p>16 REC<br \/>215 YDS<br \/>2 TD <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Mh6ZpS5Kyx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/Mh6ZpS5Kyx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \u00b2 (@DetroitsLegacy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DetroitsLegacy\/status\/1576987317629517826?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 3, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Michael Gallup<\/b> <b>(DAL &#8211; 41%) @<\/b> <b>LAR,<\/b> <b>Jakobi Meyers (NE &#8211; 43%) v DET<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tight End \u2013 Mo Alie-Cox (IND &#8211; 5%) @ DEN<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trying to find viable tight ends can sometimes feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack. It helps when that needle is an extra large-sized needle. Mo Alie-Cox is a monster of a man. Standing at 6\u20196\u201d and weighing in at 260 lbs, he can be a matchup nightmare, especially in the end zone. That\u2019s exactly what Alie-Cox was this past week as he was able to haul in two touchdowns. In addition to those two scores, he finished with six catches for 85 yards. That was good for 26.50 fantasy points. Alie-Cox tends to be a bit touchdown-dependent so it was nice to see him more involved this week. Heading into this one he only had about 8 fantasy points in all three games combined. This week\u2019s matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/broncos\/\" target=\"_self\">Denver Broncos<\/a> might be a good one for him to keep that production going. If the Broncos offense can keep putting up points like they did this past week, the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/colts\/\" target=\"_self\">Indianapolis Colts<\/a> could need to throw more often than usual, much to the benefit of Alie-Cox.
