Smith recorded four receptions on seven targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Smith tied for the team lead with seven targets, which also served as his best mark for the season. He delivered with receptions of 21 and 11 yards, the latter of which went for a touchdown early in the second quarter. Smith has now topped 50 yards in each of the two games that Trevor Siemian has started heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Eagles.

Smith caught three of four targets for 53 yards during Sunday's 27-25 loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Since returning from injury in Week 7, Smith has seen a handful of targets per game, but he'll need to see a few more in order to have fantasy utility with Trevor Siemian under center. Even if Taysom Hill gets the starting nod at quarterback in Week 10, the season-ending loss of Jameis Winston (knee) was a hit to Smith's value, and it will be hard to get excited about his outlook unless he starts becoming a favorite target of either Siemian or Hill. Until then, there are probably better fantasy options to roll the dice on.

Smith caught three of three targets for 33 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 36-27 win over Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Smith caught a touchdown from Jameis Winston (knee) early on and he almost had a second from Trevor Siemian only to be tackled on the one-yard line. However, with Winston seemingly set to miss time, the modest upside Smith once held takes a hit, as New Orleans is likely to lean on the run game regardless of whether Taysom Hill (concussion) or Trevor Siemian is under center in Week 9 against Atlanta.

Smith (hamstring) caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Monday's 13-10 win over the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was noticeable for all the wrong reasons in his season debut, registering an early drop and later getting into a shouting match with quarterback Jameis Winston on the sideline after Smith failed to line up correctly. He completed the trifecta of miscues when he nearly derailed what turned out to be New Orleans' game-winning drive with an offensive pass interference penalty, but Smith made amends by gaining 11 yards on the very next play, turning the 2nd-and-16 hole he created into a manageable 3rd-and-5. Smith's a downfield burner who could benefit from Winston's big arm as soon as Week 8 against the Buccaneers, though we can't blame you for not rushing to the waiver wire for the 25-year-old receiver after this performance.

Smith (hamstring) has been activated off IR in advance of Monday night's game against the Seahawks,Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Michael Thomas (ankle) still on the PUP list and Deonte Harris (hamstring) out Monday, Smith has a chance to step back into a key role in his first game action of the season. Also in the Saints' Week 7 wideout mix are Marquez Callaway, Kenny Stills and Ty Montgomery, but provided he avoids any setbacks, Smith figures to see his share of targets versus Seattle.

The Saints designated Smith (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thus, a 21-day window opens for Smith to prove his health with the aim to get back on the active roster, or else stay on IR for the rest of the season. The Saints could use reinforcements at wide receiver, as Marquez Callaway leads the position group with 13 catches through five games. Smith is ahead of Michael Thomas (ankle) in his recovery, so he has a good chance to be New Orleans' No. 1 WR for a spell when he's cleared to play.

Smith (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Friday afternoon, Rod Walker of The Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has barely practiced since the first week of August and now can be ruled out for the first three games of the season. His earliest possible date for a 2021 debut is Week 4 against the Giants, while fellow Saints wideout Michael Thomas (PUP - ankle) can come back Week 7 at Seattle. It looks like Marquez Callaway will be Jameis Winston's favorite wideout in the meantime, with Deonte Harris, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Chris Hogan and Ty Montgomery providing support.

Smith was a non-participant at Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith dealt with an undisclosed health concern in training camp, which he suffered in practice Aug. 3 and kept him sidelined for the entire preseason. He managed to avoid the Saints' first injury report of the regular season Wednesday, but his absence Thursday is curious just days away from a Week 1 showdown with the Packers in Jacksonville. New Orleans may just be giving Smith a maintenance day, but his standing on Friday's practice report now is worthwhile to check out. If Smith is held out Sunday, a combination of Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Deonte Harris and Chris Hogan stand to benefit alongside starter Marquez Callaway.

Smith (undisclosed) wasn't listed on the Saints' injury report Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was knocked from a training camp session Aug. 3, spending two weeks away from the field. While he rejoined his teammates Aug. 17, the Saints kept him out of their entire preseason slate. Now that he's unhindered at practice again, Smith will team with Marquez Callaway at the top of a WR depth chart that'll be without Michael Thomas (ankle) for the first month of the season.

Smith (undisclosed) isn't practicing Monday, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith initially left practice with an injury Aug. 3 and returned Aug. 17, but he hasn't done much since and didn't play in the Saints' final two preseason games. With Michael Thomas (ankle) already out for a chunk of the season, the team could really use Smith on the field Week 1 against Green Bay, even if Marquez Callaway has emerged as Jameis Winston's top option at wide receiver.
