Week 4 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Why Fantasy Owners Must Add Torrey Smith

The Baltimore Ravens went into the season with major question marks surrounding their offense, after losing so many veteran players in free agency and replacing them with young targets for quarterback Joe Flacco.

One of those young targets, rookie wide receiver Torrey Smith, has made a name for himself in just one game.

Smith caught three touchdowns for 152 yards in his team's Week 3 win over the St. Louis Rams and has skyrocketed from obscurity to a fantasy football must-add.

Much talk has been made of this being the year for Flacco to emerge as one of the top passers in the NFL, and with Smith as a major target, he could take his game to that next level.

Flacco has needed a fast, tall, reliable receiver, and it looks like he might have just that in Smith. In a year when receivers can break out at any moment, creating a bonanza for any fantasy football GM with a need at the position, Smith has risen to the top of the list of waiver wire must-adds this week.

One glance at the Ravens' schedule, and it's hard to say that Smith's performance against the Rams in Week 3 will prove a fluke. The team takes on the New York Jets on Sunday night, and then faces the Texans, Jaguars and Cardinals to round out October—all four of those games should provide ample opportunity for Smith to get the ball and make big plays.

His absolute demolition of the Rams' secondary bodes well for his chances against the Jets this week—even if he is covered by cornerback Darrelle Revis. It should be an exciting matchup should Revis be assigned to Smith, one that I think he can win.

Don't expect Smith to score three touchdowns in the first half of every game, of course. But he will remain a hot target for Flacco as the season continues.

If you lack wide receiver depth or are struggling to find a good replacement for the injured Kenny Britt, Smith is a must-add this week.
