Fantasy Impact:
Smith's performance Friday night was impressive, and he was helped out by the reliability of the receiving corps. If Smith continues to impress and comes into his own under center for the Jets, then he could well be a midseason pickup. As it stands, however, he'll go undrafted in most standard leagues.
