Smith disappointed as a streamer in Week 6 against the Raiders, but that's because his pass to Dontari Poe was ruled a lateral/rushing touchdown, and the Raiders didn't hold up their end of the scoring bargain. However, there's no reason to not go back to the well with Smith in Week 7 when the Saints and their Swiss-cheese secondary come to Kansas City. If you picked up Smith this past week and have question marks at quarterback (for instance, Aaron Rodgers), Smith might be worth another start. He also has a favorable schedule on the horizon with games against the Colts, Panthers, and Buccaneers in the next month. FAAB suggestion: 5-10 percent.

Thomas leads the Saints in targets over their last three games and has found the end zone in each contest after posting a 4-71-1 line against the Panthers in Week 6. Starting the right Saints wide receiver in the right week is a difficult proposition, but Thomas' role seems to be growing and his consistency shouldn't be ignored. With the Saints defense continually putting the offense into pass-heavy game scripts, Thomas' arrow is firmly pointing upward. FAAB Suggestion: 5-10 percent.
