Alex Smith (QB, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: After starting off Week 14 red hot against the Raiders, Alex Smith cooled off as the game went on, finishing with 264 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Week 15 brings another favorable matchup for Smith. While it’s far less certain he’ll put up QB1 numbers in a golden situation at this point, the ownership rate and matchup makes Smith a worthy streamer.

The Chiefs remain home in Week 15 as they play host to Tennessee. After quite a few above-average performances by the Titans’ defense early in the year, the unit has deteriorated into one that opposing quarterbacks have been able to shred. They’ve allowed at least 18.78 points to quarterbacks in their last seven games. That includes some of the elite guys such as Andrew Luck and Aaron Rodgers, but also includes Cody Kessler and Matt Barkley. Smith won’t have to do much against this defense to put up points for fantasy owners.
