ANALYSIS: I recommend Alex Smith about every other week, but last week I shied away and he didn’t meet my threshold of 15 points, so I’ll take that as a positive! Still, he did hit double digits for the 11th straight game. He will definitely continue that streak against the pitiful Ravens, who are one of the worst teams vs. QBs and just got brutalized by Russell Wilson.

Expect the usual Smith with a little more upside than usual. He probably won’t throw an interception (although he did throw one in Week 14 for the first time since Week 3!) and he will probably run for 30 yards. I like his odds of throwing multiple touchdowns here -- the Ravens have given up 27 passing touchdowns this season. If he can do that, he’ll give you a really good performance.
