Fantasy Profile: Steve Smith Sr., WR, Baltimore Ravens
Steve Smith Sr. started 2014 on a mission. He posted four 100+ yard games in his first six, totaling 573 yards and 4 scores in those six competitions. He was a leading scorer at the receiver position and seemed to be a major draft steal. However, his next 10 games were a different story. He never topped 100 yards again and only scored 2 touchdowns for the remainder of the year. He essentially fell back to Earth.
Smith is entering an interesting situation in Baltimore this year. Yes, his numbers in the second half indicate that he shouldn’t be a fantasy factor in 2015. However, he seems to be the top option in Baltimore in 2015 after the departure of wide receiver Torrey Smith to San Francisco. Rookie receivers Breshad Perriman and Maxx Williams will also see plenty of snaps, but Smith will be the leader. Expect WR3 numbers from the savvy veteran.
