Steve Smith's Week 1 performance was not an inspiring one, and while his 8 targets were nice, he turned them into only 5 receptions and 19 yards. He looked much better in Week 2, turning 6 targets into 3 receptions and 64 yards. He has only seen fewer than 6 targets three times in 24 games with the Baltimore Ravens, and he seems to still be locked into a significant role in their passing attack, giving him a fairly high weekly floor, especially in PPR leagues.

The Ravens' have a soft schedule ahead of them, with four straight games against teams that finished bottom-12 in schedule-adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play in 2015, and even if his efficiency continues to be unimpressive, his volume will make him a viable fantasy option against these weak secondaries.
