San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith was nearly flawless in the first half against the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night, completing 14-15 passes for 146 and two touchdowns.
Alex Smith already has 3 touchdowns for fantasy owners

Both of Smith's first-half touchdowns went to Michael Crabtree. He opened up the second half with a few more big passing plays, including a 47-yard touchdown to Randy Moss. The second-half plays improved his numbers to 17-18 for 223 yards and three touchdowns.
Fantasy Impact: Alex Smith isn’t the most reliable fantasy quarterback, as he plays in a run-oriented offense. That being said, he has shown tons of improvement in the last few seasons and can be a reliable spot start in the right situation.
The 49ers play the Rams next, so Smith could be able to string together a few strong performances.
