Alex Smith Working Off To The Side Thursday
4 years agoWashington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) was working off to the side without a helmet at practice on Thursday, with Taylor Heinicke taking first-team repetitions during the period of practice open to the media. Head coach Ron Rivera said that Smith was throwing the ball well during a limited practice on Wednesday. Barring a setback with his injured right leg, Smith should be able to play on Saturday night against the Buccaneers in the wild-card game. The veteran signal-caller is 5-1 in his six starts this year and has been effective leading this offense, but he hasn't been much of a fantasy asset and his mobility was considerably limited in the Week 17 win over the Eagles. Tampa's defense is more vulnerable through the air, but fantasy managers have better options than Smith/Heinicke this weekend.
