New Orleans Saints wide receiver (WR) Tre'Quan Smith is a fantasy football sleeper and ADP value for the 2019 season. Aaron Schillinger breaks down Smith's value in fantasy drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall
Current ADP: ~190
One player that is getting hardly any love this year in drafts, is Tre'Quan Smith, the second-year wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are one of the most prolific passing teams in the NFL, and Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara can't get all of the targets. In his rookie campaign, he totaled just 44 targets and caught 28 of them for 427 yards and five touchdowns. One of the downsides we saw in Smith was that he saw six games where he didn't catch a single ball.
In 2019, I expect his usage to increase. He started in just seven games, which should also increase significantly this year. He showed flashes and had two games where he saw 100+ receiving yards. As someone who is going damn-near undrafted in some leagues, Smith is someone you can get for extremely cheap and there's a great opportunity for him to take a nice step forward in his second year in the NFL.
