15 Transactions For Week 2
Trade Steve Smith
Calvin Johnson didn’t lead all wide receivers in targets in Week 1. Neither did Demaryius Thomas. It was Steve Smith, the Baltimore Ravens’ new 35-year-old wideout.
Smith ended the day with 10.43 Reception Net Expected Points, which measures the number of points a player adds on catches only. That was fifth in the league among all wide receivers.
Why sell him? Well, he’s a name that people know, so you have that going for you. But the Ravens also threw the ball 62 times on Sunday, something they won’t do again this year. Torrey Smith was mostly uninvolved, too, which you’d only expect to change.
Smith has more value than people would think, but if you can turn him for something decent, go for it.
