Xavier Smith is Deep League Stash Candidate

Tuesday, November 10, 4:26 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Xavier Smith is back with the team after being waived in early October. Following a handful of injuries, the Rams signed Smith off the San Francisco 49ers practice squad on Tuesday. The Rams are in need of bodies at wideout with Puka Nacua (knee), Davante Adams (hamstring), and Jordan Whittington (back) all sidelined right now. So far this season, Smith has only seen one target and he hasn't taken any offensive snaps since Week 3. The 29-year-old will probably only be depth for the Rams, but he could take some offensive snaps. Fantasy managers in deep leagues might want to consider stashing him with the Rams having multiple receivers out.

Barion Brown Could Operate as a Starter After Strong Camp

Wednesday, September 9, 7:05 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Barion Brown could get into the starting lineup for Week 1 against the Detroit Lions. Brown had a strong camp, and he's in the mix for the No. 3 receiver role (and a starting job) after the Saints placed rookie Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) on injured reserve. As it stands, Brown projects as the third receiver behind Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele, although he's also likely behind Juwan Johnson in the pecking order. Nevertheless, the rookie out of LSU caught four passes for 53 yards during the preseason, and he proved that he deserves more opportunities than fellow rookie Bryce Lance. Whether or not Brown's No. 3 receiver role is enough to get him on the fantasy radar remains to be seen, but he is definitely trending up as the Saints look to distribute Tyson's temporarily vacated targets. He's an intriguing player to stash for the first few weeks in 14+ team leagues.
