Fantasy Impact:

Rivera added that he could "envision" Smith entering the team's quarterback competition if he continues to progress well. The 36-year-old broke his leg in 2018 and eventually required 17 surgeries. It's a heart breaking story but it's tough to view Smith as a genuine option to start until we see him actually playing on a football field. Dwayne Haskins should still be viewed as the team's starting quarterback.
