Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on Irv Smith

The problem with Irv Smith Jr. here, he ran around 74% of Herbert's dropbacks, all right? So, it's it's partly like the Terrance Ferguson thing from week one... He hasn't looked amazing. He's only broke one tackle, and he had the two drops. Can't have that.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

74% route rate but two drops; limited window before Kolar returns.

Irv Smith Jr. ran 74% of Herbert's dropbacks against the Titans, demonstrating strong route rate and usage. However, he hasn't looked amazing in recent performance, breaking only one tackle and recording two drops, which is problematic for scoring fantasy points. The upcoming matchup against the Seahawks is unfavorable, and Charlie Kolar's potential return limits his long-term window. If Sadiq Shaheed's situation deteriorates and Jaylen Coker is sidelined, Smith Jr. could see increased tight end role opportunity on the Saints.
