Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Geno Smith played 15 games and scored 190.9 PPR points, 12.7 a game, finishing QB23.

He threw for 3025 yards on 448 attempts with 19 touchdowns and 17 interceptions, and ran for 109 yards and 0 touchdowns.

That came to 29.9 attempts a game at 6.8 yards an attempt.

He was on the field for 97 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

In 2025 Tre Tucker played 17 games and scored 161.7 PPR points, 9.5 a game, finishing WR38.

He caught 57 of 92 targets for 696 yards and 5 touchdowns, with 9 red zone targets.

That came to 5.4 targets a game, a 62 percent catch rate and 12.2 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 95 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Tre Tucker was available for 2 games more.

Side by side

In 2025 Geno Smith scored 12.7 PPR points a game and Tre Tucker 9.5, 3.2 a game between them.

Geno Smith finished QB23 and Tre Tucker WR38, which are two different ladders.

Geno Smith is a quarterback and Tre Tucker a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 13, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

What would change the answer

6.1 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
