Buy Torrey Smith

I spoke about Steve Smith earlier, and now it’s time to talk about his teammate who disappointed fantasy owners in Week 1.

Again, Joe Flacco threw 62 passes, and only looked Torrey Smith’s way seven times. Bengals’ cornerback Leon Hall surely played a part in that, and Smith hasn’t fared well against Cincinnati over his last five games against them, catching no more than five passes and going for no more than 57 yards.

Patience is key in fantasy football after Week 1 of the NFL season. Torrey Smith had 137 targets last season, and Gary Kubiak – man, I’m now realizing that this is essentially becoming a Ravens column – isn’t afraid to use his number one wideout in heavy doses (Andre Johnson, anyone?). Smith, too, hasn't played well against Cincinnati over his last five contests. If Torrey’s owner is worried, snag him off them for something cheap.
