Scouting report

BAL WR Steve L Smith - Week 13, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 – Steve Smith Sr. vs. San Diego

Steve Smith Sr. came back to life a bit on Monday night against the Saints. He was targeted six times, tied for a team high, and caught four passes for 89 yards and a touchdown. The Ravens ran the ball mostly, and they may do the same thing this week against a Chargers defense that has been better against the pass than the run this year.

Smith should find success against the Chargers, but with how slow he’s been during the second half of the season, it’s too risky to count on him as anything more than a WR3.

BAL WR Steve L Smith - Week 12, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 – Steve Smith Sr. vs. New Orleans

Steve Smith Sr. was targeted seven times against the Titans in Week 10, but he only caught three passes for 17 yards and he has cooled off tremendously in recent games after a hot start to the season in his new Ravens uniform. His last great game was in Week 6, and fantasy owners are starting to look at him with a raised eyebrow. Meanwhile, Torrey Smith has been much better in recent weeks after a slow start and was targeted more than the veteran and former Panther during their last outing.

This week, Smith Sr. should continue to get targets against the Saints, who have been middle of the road against the pass this season. He is a risky start however, with his lack of production over the past several games and should be considered a low-end WR2 or WR3 option in most leagues.

BAL WR Steve L Smith - Week 10, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 – Steve Smith Sr. vs. Tennessee

Steve Smith Sr. hasn’t put up the big numbers in recent weeks that he did early in the season, but he continues to get targets in the Ravens offense. Last week against the Steelers, Smith had only 36 yards, but caught five passes on eight targets, showing that he remains a top option in the Baltimore passing game.

This week, he faces a middle-of-the-road pass defense. The Titans have given up just over a touchdown per game this year through the air. Smith was putting up WR1 numbers early in the season, but he’s settled back to the mean it looks like, as a decent WR2 option in most leagues, which is where we have him ranked against Tennessee this week.

BAL WR Steve L Smith - Week 9, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 – Steve Smith Sr. vs. Pittsburgh

Steve Smith Sr. had a down week against the Bengals last week, putting up only 35 yards on three receptions. He had a long touchdown called back that would’ve won the game for the Ravens if he hadn’t been flagged for offensive pass interference on the play. Smith is still seventh in the league in receiving yards and is enjoying a resurgent season, and despite the lack of production last week, he still led the team with nine targets.

This week, Smith will face a Steelers defense that has struggled against the pass, and has allowed 13 touchdowns through the air so far this year. Smith should continue to put up borderline WR1 numbers this week and fantasy owners should have him in their lineups each week.

BAL WR Steve L Smith - Week 8, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 – Steve Smith Sr. vs. Cincinnati

Steve Smith Sr., despite his advanced age, has managed to be a deep threat in Baltimore, and against the Falcons last week, he once again hauled in a 49 yard reception. He only caught three passes for 67 yards on the day, but appears to be the a premier receiver again behind a good season from Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, and Smith is 7th in the league in receiving yards.

This week, Smith faces a Bengals defense that has struggled lately and is now 27th in the league against the pass. Smith hasn’t put up the kind of eye popping numbers to make him a WR1 each week this season, but he has been good enough to be a solid WR2 that you can count on. We have him as a top 20 option again this week and he should be active in all leagues.

BAL WR Steve L Smith - Week 7, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 – Steve Smith Sr. vs. Atlanta

Steve Smith Sr. had another great game, catching five balls for 110 yards and a touchdown against the Bucs last week. He’s become a reliable deep ball target for the Ravens, as his score came from 56 yards and he is now fifth in the league in receiving yards.

This week, Smith faces an Atlanta pass defense that ranks bottom five in the league. Enjoying a career resurgence, the feisty 35 year old is now a must start each week, and with an excellent matchup, we have him ranked as a top 10 option and WR1 in all formats.

BAL WR Steve L Smith - Week 6, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 – Steve Smith Sr. vs. Tampa Bay

Steve Smith Sr. came back to earth a bit last week against the Colts, catching five passes, but gaining only 34 yards. He was still targeted seven times though and he remains a focal point in the Ravens passing attack. He has also been more effective tracking deep balls than his counterpart Torrey Smith, and he still seems to be the player to own in the Baltimore receiving corps.

This week, he has a nice matchup against a familiar opponent. The Bucs have given up the third most passing yards per game in the league this year and only four teams have given up more touchdown passes. Smith should rebound off a subpar week and put up numbers worthy of a solid WR2. He should be active in all leagues.
