STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Smith finally gets top-target role; 9 targets/game without Brown historically.

Smith enters the season as the number one target for the first time after AJ Brown's trade, creating potential for an AJ Brown-like role with 27%+ target share and 35%+ air yard share. Smith's splits without Brown over three seasons show 9 targets per game and 16.2 points per game, with two seasons averaging 15+ points per game. As a first-round NFL draft pick and Heisman Trophy winner, Smith was the most productive wide receiver Nick Saban ever had in a one-year period at Alabama. The source projects Smith could pay off in the third round if given Brown's usage.
