I toyed with the idea of starting Smith in a PPR league over Greg Jennings, but I decided that now is not the time to be conservative. Jennings has been a TD machine and I'm hoping it will continue for one more week. Smith hasn't done much of anything since the beginning of the season but has had more receptions lately.It comes down to the fact that I don't see alot of upside with Smith in that offense. I think he's likely to get me 15 points, which is solid, but Jennings, at worst, would probably get 10 points, but COULD get 30. I'm willing to take that chance.Steve Smith is the #62 WR over the past 6 weeks. He hasn't scored in 9 weeks, and his best yardage is 62 yards in the last 9 weeks. If you need WR #6 type numbers i guess you can be confident.
I might start AGonzo over him...Peyton has to get some more work in with him before the playoffs.bcberg said:Well for the first time in 5 or 6 weeks I've inserted Steve Smith back into my lineup for the biggest game of the year. He's been somewhat productive the last few weeks on my bench, just hasn't found the endzone. But I'm hoping that will all change this weekend!I'm starting him over the likes of Galloway, Holmes, & AGonzo. Who's with me?
Just gotta hope he blows up. He's one of the few WRs that can put up 3 tds 200+ yards 10+ catches on a week. But he has been awful. The team is awful. I'm hoping he mans up this week for me.mistersmith said:
In a non-ppr, I could see benching him. However, he did miss one game in the past 6 weeks due to injury, so that ranking is based on 5 games vs. other receivers playing 6. I play in a ppr league, and if we go by his last 4 weeks in a ppr league, he's actually WR #22. He's had double digit targets in each of the last 6 games he's played, so the opportunity is there. In a ppr, his last 4 weeks output has been 15.2, 10.4, 16.5, 12.9, and that's without scoring any TD's. I'm torn between starting him or Boldin as my WR2, but I think I'm going to go Smith because he's THE guy in Carolina and he has the potential to put up a 30 pt. game...I like his upside to break a long one so might as well swing for the fences in the title game...of course, he's shown that even if he doesn't break a long one, his numbers aren't going to lose your game either.Steve Smith is the #62 WR over the past 6 weeks.

Sometimes it's nice to have few options. I had options so I benched him..... Benefitted me last week, but it looks like it will hurt me this week.Had no choice!
Glad I started him and ALMOST got that 30 pt. game in my ppr league. :IBTL:I'm torn between starting him or Boldin as my WR2, but I think I'm going to go Smith because he's THE guy in Carolina and he has the potential to put up a 30 pt. game...I like his upside to break a long one so might as well swing for the fences in the title game...of course, he's shown that even if he doesn't break a long one, his numbers aren't going to lose your game either.Steve Smith is the #62 WR over the past 6 weeks.

You should start him - but he's still playing at the level of a #2 WR at best. So start him - cause he could go off - but don't depend on him.
