Week 6 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Alex Smith continued his impressive season last week with a 324-yard passing game with 3 touchdowns, and he yet to thrown an interception through five games this season. He's now had four multi-touchdown games this season, which has been a much different story than most of his career.
His numbers will likely take a dip this week in a brutal matchup against the Steelers. Pittsburgh has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season with a stifling pass defense. The Steelers have allowed the fewest passing yards along with the fewest yards per attempt. And quarterbacks have only thrown 3 touchdowns against them all season.
Smith has a surprisingly good option in fantasy this year, but he certainly carries some risk in this bad matchup. Since he's been so good, he should still be viewed as a low-end QB1, but don't be surprised if he struggles.
