SUMMARY
Wide Receiver Rank: #29   
Overall: #92


Smith had a dreadful year as the Panthers' passing game suffered big time because of poor quarterback play. Despite playing all but two games, Smith failed to top 50 receptions and 600 yards for the first time when playing a full season since his rookie year. He just didn't get the chances or was misfired upon when getting the chances. Smith hasn't lost much but probably has lost a step at age 32, which doesn't help matters. He remains a dependable starter with big-play ability. Smith has five 1,000-yard seasons under his belt. Smith is a small target, but has great hands and surprising strength. He just makes plays with the ball in his hands.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Smith can rebound and is worth a flier as a low-end No. 2 or 3 receiver because of his past success. It wouldn't surprise to see him get back to his usual ways, topping 1,000 yards while getting seven or so scores. But don't be surprised if he finishes with numbers similar to last season, which could be the start of a trend instead of something unusual.
Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton hit WR Steve Smith for a 55-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter Sunday, Jan. 29, at the Pro Bowl. That was about the biggest highlight of the day for Newton, who managed to complete just 9 of 27 passes for 186 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions, including one returned for touchdown. Smith finished with five grabs for 118 yards and the score.

Carolina Panthers WR Steve Smith has seen a drop in production lately, and that's mainly due to opposing defensive backs starting to roll extra coverage his way. 'He's a tremendous receiver and caugh a lot of people off-guard as far as his value to this team,' QB Cam Newton said. 'But last week was probably the week he got the most attention that I've ever seen anybody (get). They were rolling to him. They were pressing him, also. Having a guy under him and over the top of him, so it was physically impossible for me to make an accurate throw without putting the ball in jeopardy.'
Fantasy Impact: Smith remains a must start. He can get going in the coming weeks. He has too much upside to sit.
