We all know the pain of holding onto that stud player too long as their production evaporates and your once highly-priced asset is essentially worthless. There are also plenty of cases of players being sold expecting that decline only to go on defying the odds. This series will examine what you should do as players approach these decision points.
Geno Smith, QB SEA
If I'd said a year ago we'd be having this conversation about Smith, I think you would have all thought I was crazy. The resurrection of his career and with it, his dynasty value, has been nothing short of remarkable. However, what should we now be doing with him from a dynasty perspective moving forward?
Previous Performance
When reviewing Smith's previous production, there is a relatively small volume of recent production. Since his benching in the preseason of 2015, he has been a career backup starting only five games across those six years. After then proceeding to beat out Drew Lock in training camp, Smith had an incredible season. Finishing as the QB5 in points, he also set career highs in completion percentage, passing yards, touchdowns, yards per attempt, and QBR.
I think most folks are skeptical because this is the first year he has succeeded like this. If he does it again in 23 I will be a believer.
