Ruled out for Week 8. One comment notes he required 14 targets and garbage time to be relevant as WR1 without Hurts, and he is "a lot better than Goedert." Another frustrated owner states "I've absolutely had it with Smith. Please just put him on IR at this point. Cant drop him and hes clogging my bench." His absence is the primary reason for Goedert's elevated target opportunity.
