BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team Leagues

ANALYSIS: After an extremely favorable showing in a difficult matchup at Denver in Week 12, Alex Smith could only muster 12.50 points in standard scoring leagues with a favorable matchup at Atlanta in Week 13. Given the way that game went though, there were more points to be had for Smith had Matt Ryan not thrown a few pick-six’s. With another favorable matchup on deck in Week 14, Smith is once again an ideal streamer choice.
The Chiefs welcome the Raiders to town in a matchup with huge AFC West implications. Oakland’s defense had a much better showing than expected against the Bills in Week 13, holding Tyrod Taylor to 191 passing yards and no passing scores, while also picking him off once and forcing a fumble. Hey, a broken clock is right twice a day, right? This is the same defense who has made numerous mediocre quarterbacks look solid over the course of the season, and the same defense who still ranks 27th in the league with an average of 273.5 passing yards-per-game allowed. If you’re in need of a QB1 streamer in Week 14, Alex Smith is a great option.
