SF WR Torrey Smith - Week 6, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Baltimore
You'd better believe Smith will want to show the offensively challenged Ravens they made a mistake letting him walk. He's averaging over 20 yards per catch this season, but isn't getting a big volume thrown his way - two catches for 42 yards last week and four for 96 in the past two games. But given Baltimore's struggles defending the pass, look for the 49ers to try some deep shots to Smith. He's a high-risk/high-reward flex play this week.

SF WR Torrey Smith - Week 5, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Giants
Smith had two catches for 54 yards last week after getting shut out in Week 3. He's going to be boom or bust with bust being the bigger option with Colin Kaepernick playing the way he's going right now. The Giants also are allowing opposing wideouts to average just over 10 yards per catch this season and have given up just one WR score. Don't play Smith as anything more than a flex with the possibility of getting a big score. Keep your fingers crossed.

SF WR Torrey Smith - Week 4, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs Green Bay
Smith had the same number of catches as me last week at Arizona and just hasn't been in sync with Colin Kaepernick. In fact, they weren't in sync at all and really haven't been. The only saving grace this week is the 49ers could be forced to throw it around as they were in Week 2 at Pittsburgh, when Smith caught six passes and a touchdown. He's still a roll of the dice, however, and is only worth a start as a flex play.

SF WR Torrey Smith - Week 3, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Arizona
After catching just one pass in the opener, Smith grabbed six passes for 120 yards and a score last week, including a trademark 77-yarder in the fourth quarter. The 49ers really didn't open things up offensively until the fourth quarter, choosing to try to play it close to the vest early. That seems to be their preference, so it does make you wonder about Smith's long-term value. Use Smith as a flex player with plenty of upside. He's not likely to be a high-volume receiver this season, but he's still a home run hitter.

SF WR Torrey Smith - Week 2, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Pittsburgh
It was a tough and quiet opener for Smith in his 49ers debut as he was targeted just three times and made one catch for 11 yards. He's very familiar with the Steelers from his days in Baltimore where he mostly ran deep patterns against them. The Steelers really didn't give up anything over the top last week against New England, allowing just one completion over 19 yards, which doesn't necessarily bode well for Smith. I'd lay off using him this week unless you need to take a flier on a flex play and hope he gets loose.

SF WR Torrey Smith - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Minnesota
Smith has been dealing with a knee injury that forced him out of preseason action, but he's probable to play against the Vikings in Week 1. He'll be the deep threat - as usual - for the 49ers, but since he's new to the 49ers offense, it could take some time for he and QB Colin Kaepernick to get on the same page. Then again, Kaepernick has the arm to sling it down the field and just let Smith run under it. Look for the 49ers to take a shot or two each game with Smith, which will make him a hit-or-miss receiver. But when he hits, it could be for a big strike. Smith is a decent flex play this against the Vikings this week.

SF WR Torrey Smith - 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Smith caught 30 TD passes in four seasons in Baltimore (including 11 last season) and averaged 16.9 yards per catch. He's one of the best deep threats in the league.

Fantasy Downside
Smith's talent has added up to just one 1,000-yard season in his career. And that was with Joe Flacco, a much better all-round QB than Colin Kaepernick, throwing him the ball.

Bottom line
It's going to be tough for Smith to reach double digits in TDs again this season. But he should see more than the career-low 93 targets he had last season, when he also produced career lows in catches and yardage. He's going around round 9-10 in most fantasy drafts and while he'll be up and down, the ups could be pretty good.
