Steve Smith Sr. has played very well for the Baltimore Ravens. Through three weeks, Smith is sitting on a stat line of 18-290-1. Quarterback Joe Flacco has targeted him an average of more than ten times per game. To add more appeal to Smith's next game, he's facing his former team of 13 years, the Carolina Panthers. Smith is a product of his generation of wide receivers. He's vocal. If there's a chip on your shoulder, you make it known. Smith plays angry, and Sunday will be no exception. The situation is poetic of course, but the reality is that it should be business as usual for the Baltimore Ravens.
Steve Smith is a must-start against Panthers in Week 4
Steve Smith is facing the Carolina Panthers in Week 4. He’s a must-start, but fantasy owners shouldn’t over-sensationalize it.

Fantasy impact: “Business as usual,” should mean that fantasy owners are starting Steve Smith, as usual. However, it’s undeniable that the rivalry adds some extra emotion to the equation. While Smith should be started, fantasy owners shouldn’t let the sensationalism affect their judgement. Stick with your studs in Week 4, and if Smith is a natural play for you, start him.
