Fantasy Football Player Notes

Smith continues his volume-fueled fantasy assault as the QB12 in fantasy points per game. Smith is third in passing attempts and first in passing yards per game. His per-dropback metrics aren't nearly as kind. Among 39 qualifying quarterbacks, he ranks 16th in yards per attempt, 25th in passer rating, and 24th in fantasy points per dropback. Smith faces what has become a tough Arizona pass defense. Since Week 6, Arizona has kept quarterbacks in check with the fifth-lowest yards per attempt, the sixth-lowest CPOE, and the sixth-fewest passing touchdowns allowed. Smith will still sit somewhere around the low-end QB1 territory with his extreme passing volume but don't expect an otherworldly or efficient performance.
