2026 Fantasy Outlook
Klubnik joined the Jets in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft after the team traded up to the 110th overall pick, positioning him to compete with Brady Cook and Bailey Zappe for the top backup role behind Geno Smith. While Smith’s hold on the starting job is secure ahead of the 2026 campaign, the 35-year-old quarterback is under contract on a one-year deal, meaning New York could turn its focus toward evaluating Klubnik’s developmental upside if the season slips away. Klubnik brings a prototypical 6-foot-2, 207-pound frame and impressed as a junior at Clemson in 2024 with 3,639 passing yards and a 36:6 TD:INT. Though he regressed somewhat in 2025 with 2,943 yards and a 16:6 TD:INT, a solid offensive line and receiving corps should support his transition to the NFL. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Impresses in spot start
Klubnik started Friday's preseason loss to the Buccaneers due to Geno Smith's ankle injury and strengthened his bid for the No. 2 job, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie fourth-round pick acquitted himself well over his two series, completing five of seven passes for 56 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Cimini points out two of Klubnik's completions successfully converted third downs, and his mistake-free, efficient effort was made all the more impressive by the fact he hadn't received any first-team reps in practice to date. "When we watched him in college, he was the same way. Nothing changes," head coach Aaron Glenn said. "He has a moxie to him. He's very confident. He's confident in his arm. He's confident in his ability to elude and make plays with his feet."
