Tre'Quan Smith
WR - FA - OUT
Week 4 Outlook
Tre'Quan Smith (groin) has been placed on New Orleans' injured reserve.
Fantasy Impact
A groin injury will force New Orleans to put Smith on their injured reserve. He will have to miss four weeks at the very least, and he could very well end up missing more time than that. Rashid Shaheed and rookie A.T. Perry could both see more work as a result of Smith's extended absence.
Saints wideout Tre'Quan Smith, who is working his way back from a groin injury, did not participate in practice Wednesday ahead of the team's week 1 matchup with the Titans.
Fantasy Impact
Smith was considered unlikely to be ready for Week 1 after having a procedure done on his injured groin last week, but his avoiding the IR indicates he could return sooner than later. A Week 1 return seems unlikely, however, and Derek Carr's debut will most likely be highlighted by Chris Olave and Michael Thomas.
New Orleans Saints WR Tre'Quan Smith underwent surgery for a groin injury and is unlikely to play in Week 1.
Fantasy Impact
Smith was absent for the bulk of training camp and did not play in a preseason game after suffering a groin injury in August. With Rashid Shaheed also dealing with a groin injury, fantasy managers should expect A.T. Perry and Keith Kirkwood to fill in until Smith and Shaheed return to full health.
Saints WR Tre' Quan Smith failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's win over the Raiders.
Fantasy Impact
Even with Jarvis Landry and Michael Thomas out, Smith saw just one target. Fantasy managers can stash him in deeper leagues, but with Chris Olave healthy he shouldn't be started.
Saints WR Tre'Quan Smith caught 4 of 5 targets for 59 yards in Thursday's loss to the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
Smith saw an increase in opportunity with Jarvis Landry and Michael Thomas out and he made the most of it, catching all but one ball thrown his way. Fantasy managers can add him in deeper leagues, but will need to monitor the health of the starting WRs before starting Smith.
