It would appear there is only room for one productive Smith at a time in the Baltimore Ravens' offense. Lately, that has been Torrey Smith and not Steve Smith Sr., and that continued Sunday in the Ravens' 21-7 win over the Tennessee Titans.
Fantasy football waiver wire, Week 11: Torrey Smith’s stock rising; Steve Smith’s falling
Early in the year, it was Steve Smith Sr. producing for Baltimore, but of late, Torrey has been doing the work. We break down the fantasy implications.
Patrick Smith
Torrey Smith had five catches Sunday for 75 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown that iced the game away for Baltimore. Smith Sr., meanwhile, had only three catches for 17 yards. Torrey Smith is leading the Ravens in receiving touchdowns, with six, while Steve Smith is leading the way with 728 receiving yards.
Fantasy impact: Steve Smith Sr. has exactly one good fantasy game since Week 4, while Sunday was Torrey Smith's fifth game with double-digit fantasy points in his last seven. In other words, early in the season it was Steve good, Torrey bad, but that has flipped on its head of late.
All that said, it’s hard to imagine feeling confident using either receiver. For the time being, Torrey Smith is likely to be ranked as a mid-to-low flex, while Steve Smith Sr. might find himself out of the rankings altogether.
