Tre'Quan Smith

Week 12 vs Bills

Since returning from injury, Tre'Quan Smith's numbers have improved and you can make the case he is Trevor Siemian's favorite target on the outside. His target numbers have increased each week, hitting eight targets and catching five passes against the Eagles. Certainly a very tough matchup on a short week against our No. 1 defense against opposing wide receivers. As has been the case all season, the Saints' WRs are low flex plays as they continue to be limited by the play of Trevor Siemian. But Smith is now the best of the bunch.

Week 4 vs Lions

The Saints can't wait to get Michael Thomas back. This was thought to be a great opportunity for Tre'Quan Smith, who continues to out-snap Emmanuel Sanders (Smith played every offensive snap in Week 3) but still doesn't have a touchdown this season and just one double-digit scoring day in PPR (Week 2). Smith did see six targets on Sunday and has 14 total targets this season but isn't doing too much with them, with 132 yards on 10 catches. But it's certainly a big improvement from his 1 catch for 4 yards in Week 1.

Week 2 vs Raiders

Smith saw 44 offensive snaps Sunday against the Buccaneers but was only targeted one time for just four yards. He's been up and down, though mostly quiet, throughout his time in New Orleans. If there was ever a time for him to break out, it's now. He's a wait-and-see option for now to see if he can finally become a viable option with Michael Thomas out. He's out WR49, making him borderline WR4/5 material.
