Sleeper potential in Alex Smith this week

Fantasy Impact:

Alex Smith is coming off his second highest point total of the year, posting 21.58 points against the Raiders in standard formats, and draws another favorable match up this week. Andy Reid has said that he wants to focus on winning the time of possession battle against the Steelers, so you can expect a low-risk game plan for Smith involving screens to the backs and quick routes to his receivers. Regardless of how short the throws may be, Jamaal Charles is always a threat to take a screen all the way. Smith also may be more inclined to tuck the ball and run rather than throw the ball away if nothing develops down field in order to keep the clock running.
