BAL WR Steve L Smith - Week 8, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. San Diego

Steve Smith Sr. only had 78 yards and five catches against the Cardinals on Monday night as the Ravens suffered their sixth defeat of the season, but he still led the team with nine targets and he remains the favorite option for quarterback Joe Flacco.

Smith doesn’t seem to be hampered by the injury he suffered earlier in the season and he should again be featured heavily this week. He also gets to face the Chargers this week, which should bode well for Smith. San Diego was destroyed by the Raiders passing game last week and has allowed 8.1 yards per pass attempt to opposing passers this year, fifth-worst in the league. The team has struggled to force turnovers or get any kind of pressure on the quarterback this season, and Smith Sr. should be in for a good day. He’s a borderline WR1 and a solid WR2 in all leagues.

BAL WR Steve L Smith - Week 7, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Arizona

Steve Smith Sr. continues to rack up targets and be productive in a season that is supposed to be his swan song. After missing Week 5 with a rib injury, Smith came back strong against the 49ers last week, catching seven of the 10 balls thrown his way for 137 yards and a touchdown. He has double-digit targets and over 130 yards in three of the four games he’s played in start to finish, and he has been the most reliable pass catching target in Baltimore this year.

This week, he’ll face a difficult task against a Cardinals defense that features premier players in the secondary and leads the league in interceptions with 11. Still, Smith is too heavily relied upon in the Baltimore offense to sit him at this point, and fantasy owners should continue to consider him as a solid WR2 option in all leagues while his incredible run continues. We have him as a top 15 option this week.

BAL WR Steve L Smith - Week 6, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at San Francisco

Steve Smith Sr. is practicing, which means he has a chance to suit up on Sunday. With a nice matchup, Smith should be considered a WR2 option in most fantasy leagues, but if there’s any question about his status, fantasy owners should look elsewhere and take a wait-and-see approach on the injured veteran. While he’s a tough guy and will be motivated to get back on the field as soon as possible, it’s wise to make sure he’s in top form before counting on him.

BAL WR Steve L Smith - Week 4, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Pittsburgh

Steve Smith Sr. had another huge game against the Bengals last week, catching 13 passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns. He very nearly won the game for the Ravens, and would have if A.J. Green hadn’t also had a monster game of his own. Smith is the main cog in the Ravens offense right now.

This week, Smith will face the Pittsburgh Steelers. He struggled a bit against them last season, but they just gave up seven catches and 102 yards to Kenny Britt last week against the Rams. Smith will continue to be fed the ball, which makes him a borderline WR1 for as long as he keeps producing. He had 17 targets last week, and while that’s a lofty number to expect every game, he should be active in all fantasy lineups while he remains the Ravens number one offensive weapon.

BAL WR Steve L Smith - Week 3, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Cincinnati

Steve Smith Sr. can still play in this league. He was targeted 16 times last week against the Raiders, catching 10 passes for 150 yards. While the Ravens ended up losing the game in a shootout, it had to be comforting for Ravens fans and for offensive coordinator Marc Trestman to see Smith and Joe Flacco put up 33 points after such a woeful Week 1 outing against Denver.

This week, Smith Sr. plays a Cincinnati defense that has looked solid through two weeks, but gave up a pair of touchdowns to the wide receiver position last week against the Chargers. Smith isn’t an elite fantasy option anymore, but as the No. 1 target in Baltimore, he’s worth considering week-to-week, even with a bad matchup. We have him right around our top-20 mark this week, making him a suitable WR2 in most leagues.

BAL WR Steve L Smith - Week 2, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Oakland

Steve Smith Sr. struggled along with the rest of the Baltimore offense last week. Though he was targeted seven times, he ended up with just 13 yards on two catches and he had a crucial drop of a tipped pass into the end zone that would’ve won the game for the Ravens.

This week, Smith gets to face an Oakland Raiders team that struggled against the Bengals last week, giving up four touchdowns in a lopsided victory for Cincinnati. Look for the veteran to rebound with a better matchup and to improve on his 28.5-percent catch rate. We have him ranked just outside our top 20 this week, making him a solid to low-end WR2 option in most leagues.

BAL WR Steve L Smith - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 - Steve Smith Sr. vs. Denver Broncos

Steve Smith Sr. will face the Denver Broncos for the first game of his farewell campaign. Set to retire at the end of the season, he’ll look to make an impact right out of the gate. The Broncos may put their top cover guy, Aqib Talib on Smith, but he should remain the top option in the Ravens passing attack.

The wily veteran should find spots in a Denver pass defense that gave up 29 touchdown passes a year ago, and the Ravens will likely throw the ball a fair amount with their new offense in place against a high-scoring team like the Broncos. At this stage in his career, it’s hard to say Smith will put up elite numbers, but we have him ranked as WR22 this week on our board and he should be considered a solid WR2/3 option to begin the season.
