The longer Ted Ginn Jr. continues to miss time, Tre'Quan Smith becomes a valuable commodity we want to own. After all, it's the New Orleans Saints offense we're talking about.

Coming into Week 7, the Saints led the league in points per game (36.0), and they ranked second in both total yards (424.0) and passing yards per game (320.8). Smith continues to be part of that equation. Prior to their bye in Week 7, Smith went nuts for 111 receiving yards and 2 long touchdowns in Week 5, and showed he was a big part of the aerial attack:

In Week 5 without Ted Ginn (knee), Tre'Quan Smith played on a season-high 67% of #Saints snaps, he was second on the team in routes run (27), and led in share of air yards (38%).

While Smith was quiet in Week 7, racking up a meager 3 catches for 44 yards, his 6 targets tied him for second-most on the team, so peep the young wideout for some depth.
