Wide Receiver Rank: #5
Overall: #22
Despite being suspended for the first two games of last season, Smith still had a monster season, notching 1,421-receiving yards and six touchdowns. He had nine 100-yard games despite getting shaky play at the quarterback position all season. Smith made the most of his chances and looked like the big-play receiver of past seasons. Smith has four straight 1,000-yard seasons and 80-plus receptions in three of his last four seasons. He is a small target, but has great hands and is tough to bring down with the ball in his hands. He has top speed and is a one of the top deep threats in all of football. Smith remains one of the elite receivers in all of football.

Remember, he missed two games last season and still put up those monster numbers. Smith is an elite fantasy option and could improve on last season if he gets better quarterback play, which seems likely. Don't be surprised if he is the top fantasy point getter at receiver this season. |
