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.

Efton Chism III News

Efton Chism III a Week 10 Waiver Option with Conditional Upside

Tuesday, November 10, 8:15 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Efton Chism III, handling a larger role with teammate A.J. Brown (ankle, knee) sidelined by ankle and knee concerns, has seen five targets in each of the past two games, with his second-quarter touchdown against the Packers elevating him to WR17 in Week 9. Brown will reportedly travel to Germany ahead of a Week 10 international matchup with the Lions, but should he miss his third consecutive game, Chism offers desperation flex appeal against a defense that has been among the most favorable matchups for fantasy wide receivers. A potentially expanded role for Mack Hollins following his first game back from injured reserve lowers Chism's ceiling, but in a matchup with one of the highest projected point totals of the week, the second-year wideout could stay involved in the red zone.
