Read the full article

From the article

Smith should have his first game with over 275 passing yards this year. Despite the fact that Detroit is one play away from being 0-2 this year, the Lions are heavy favorites in Week 3. While New York might cover the spread, expect Smith to have no trouble throwing on Detroit's defense, especially after Avonte Maddox suffered a season-ending injury last week. More importantly, the Lions have surrendered 329 passing yards, three touchdowns, and 22.2 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks just in the air over the first two weeks.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Smith projects for 275+ passing yards vs. Lions' weak secondary and high-volume passing environment.

Smith is a last-minute waiver wire target for Week 3 against Detroit despite low rostering (6.4%). The source projects Smith should have his first game with over 275 passing yards this year; Detroit has surrendered 329 passing yards, three touchdowns, and 22.2 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks over the first two weeks. Smith had 41 pass attempts in Week 2 against Green Bay (247 yards, 1 TD, 15.6 points) and will face a Lions team that is heavy favorites, forcing New York to throw at a high rate. Additionally, Detroit lost cornerback Avonte Maddox to a season-ending injury, further supporting Smith's upside.
