See the rankings for Andre Johnson with David Carr at QB. I think that's a very good estimation of what we can expect from Smith. Maybe he'll be a Top 20 WR which isn't bad but is certainly a major downgrade and likely a major killer for most (if not many) of the fantasy owners who drafted him. Turning an elite WR1 into a boarderline WR2 at best is not going to be good. I see very few reasons for optimism for Smith with Carr at QB.
Technically, a couple of years ago when he went toe-to-toe with Brady in the SB, but of course that would be rational.
I don't think so but I'd be very surprised if the Burress owner made the deal. Burress >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Smith right now. The guy has scored in every game and is putting up ridiculous numbers. Other than Moss and CJ, I wouldn't trade Burress for anyone right now and I might not even trade him for those two. I think if you're looking to deal Smith, you have to target another top player who's struggling. Maybe offer Smith to the Larry Johnson owner in your league if he really needs WR help. Or deal Smith for two decent WR2/WR3 guys. If you can find an owner in your league who's willing to dismiss all of the clear facts that are now in place and still believes Steve Smith will be an elite fantasy WR this season, more power to you. But I know that isn't happening in my league.
Yes. And on a side note.....anyone looking for a bye week defense - look no further than Arizona vs Carr this week.
