# Fox Sports: The FOX Sports catchup piece expects Geno Smith to be the Jets' Week 1 starting quarterback and Jordan Love to start for Green Bay in Week 1 at Minnesota. **Claimed:** Aug 22, 2026 **Pundit:** Fox Sports — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/fox-sports **Outlet:** Fox Sports — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/fox-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/nfl-catchup-geno-smith-delivers-preseason-tyreek-hill-still-recovery-mode 2 checkable claims — 2 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > The Clemson product may see time later in the regular season, but Smith will likely be the guy in Week 1. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Geno Smith to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Geno Smith, New York Jets - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jordan Love to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Geno Smith — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/geno-smith - New York Jets — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/jets - Jordan Love — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/jordan-love - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/packers ## What others said about the same people - Mike Kadlick on Green Bay Packers: Kadlick expects an ugly, low-scoring Thursday night game at Lambeau Field, with Green Bay beating Atlanta 10–7 to move to 2–1 while the Falcons drop to 0–3 in Michael Penix Jr.'s return. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/e80b2d86-5533-4a14-b40a-9de75d1883bc (scored 7.14) - Jared Dubin on Green Bay Packers: Dubin picks the Packers to beat the Falcons comfortably on Thursday Night Football, predicting a 23-13 Green Bay win. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/7d0957a4-4d45-4f24-b6f9-a848eb47a374 (scored 23.81) - Jordan Dajani on Green Bay Packers: Dajani gave final-score predictions for eight Week 3 games, picking the Packers, Bengals, Jaguars, Texans, Buccaneers (upset), Ravens, Broncos (upset) and Eagles to win. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/c96aaa6d-2d0c-41cc-a9f7-c21ac21886ac (scored 16.67) - Jared Dubin on Green Bay Packers: Dubin gave final-score predictions for the same eight Week 3 games, picking the Packers, Bengals, Jaguars, Texans, Vikings, Ravens, Rams and Eagles. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/fe04828a-d532-414c-a58a-54f6505f2263 (scored 23.81) - Richard Sherman on Green Bay Packers: Sherman picked winners and several exact scores across the Week 3 slate, favoring Seattle, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Detroit, Green Bay, Carolina, New Orleans, Baltimore, the Rams, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Kansas City, Minnesota, the Giants, Jacksonville and Houston, and named Kenneth Walker his MVP. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/c2102f61-711d-4041-af08-065e95ccaf03 (scored 0) - Tyler Sullivan on Green Bay Packers: Sullivan projects final scores for every Week 3 game, including a Bills blowout of the reeling Chargers, a Chiefs rout in Miami, a Seahawks win over a Mariota-led Washington, and the Saints beating the Raiders in their home opener.
