Coach John Harbaugh said at the NFL Combine that Steve Smith Sr. will stay with the Ravens in 2015.
Smith turns 36 in May, but is owed a reasonable $3 million salary. "He's planning on being back and we're planning on having him back," said Harbaugh. Smith Sr. is a proficient enough route runner to excel in new OC Marc Trestman's timing-and-rhythm offense. He may be an underrated WR3 in 2015 fantasy. Feb 18 - 3:01 PM

Steve Smith Sr. - WR - Ravens

Although Steve Smith Sr. plans on returning for the 2015 season, Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome has encouraged him to "take three weeks to decide how he feels."

Speaking Tuesday, coach John Harbaugh hinted Sr. could be back in a reduced role. "It doesn't have to be a role where he is playing every snap," Harbaugh said. "(But) he still looks like he has plenty left in the tank to me." Smith's 834 snaps were 35th amongst wideouts in 2014, but his effectiveness waned as the season wore on. He's due a reasonable $3 million in 2015.

Steve Smith Sr. - WR - Ravens

Steve Smith Sr. confirmed after the Ravens' Divisional Round loss to the Patriots that he'll continue his playing career in 2015.

Smith Sr. admittedly considered retirement after the 2013 season, but his release from the Panthers breathed life into him. He'll turn 36 in May but stays in fine shape. Sr. got off to a torrid start in 2014 before falling off. The Ravens need Sr. with Torrey Smith set to enter free agency come March.

Steve Smith Sr. - WR - Ravens

Steve Smith Sr. caught 3-of-4 targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Baltimore's Divisional Round loss to the Patriots.

It was another noisemaking afternoon for Sr., who scorched Darrelle Revis on his nine-yard score in the first quarter. Smith also drew a 20-yard DPI call on Revis. There was a scary moment in the second quarter, where Sr. appeared to wrench his left knee. He eventually ran off the field under his own power, and returned to the game a few minutes later. Going on 36, Sr. predictably faded after his monster start this season, but settled in as a consistent chain mover for Joe Flacco. He cleared 1,000 yards (1,065) while averaging 13.5 yards per grab. Due a bargain $3 million in 2015, he'll be back in Baltimore.

Steve Smith Sr. - WR - Ravens

Steve Smith had five catches for 101 yards in the Ravens' Wild Card win over the Steelers.

Smith's highlights were two 20-plus yard receptions, including a 40-yard catch-and-run in the third quarter. He was targeted a team-high seven times. It was Smith's second straight game with at least 90 yards. Smith will likely match up with Patriots CB Darrelle Revis in the Divisional Round.

Steve Smith Sr. - WR - Ravens

Steve Smith Sr. caught 8-of-12 targets for 90 yards Week 17 against the Browns.

Smith had one bad drop, but otherwise had a solid day after struggling through the second half of the season. Smith was targeted in the end zone once, but had to turn into a defender on a badly underthrown ball from Joe Flacco. Losing steam down the stretch, Smith is not a great bet to be a big contributor in the postseason.

Steve Smith Sr. - WR - Ravens

Steve Smith Sr. caught five passes for 49 yards in the Ravens' Week 16 loss to the Texans.

He and Torrey Smith were each targeted 2 times. Sr. could have had a bigger day, but dropped a 15-plus-yard gain on a 3rd-and-11 pass. Joe Flacco then missed Smith on what may have gone for a 70-yard touchdown before halftime. Flacco was off accuracy-wise all afternoon, but Smith also can't separate much. He and the 9-6 Ravens host the Browns in Week 17.

Steve Smith Sr. - WR - Ravens

Steve Smith Sr. caught five passes for 37 yards in the Ravens' Week 15 win over the Jaguars.

Senior caught all five of his targets, but clearly didn't do much with them. He worked mostly against impressive rookie CB Aaron Colvin on the outside. Excluding his Week 14 7-70-1 line, Smith has been pretty awful the past two months. He's not making any explosive plays. Smith is more of a WR3/4.

Steve Smith Sr. - WR - Ravens

The Ravens held Steve Smith Sr. out of Friday's practice because he is sick.

Coach John Harbaugh said afterwards that Smitty will be "fine" for Week 15 against the Jags. With Torrey Smith (knee) either not playing or trying to play at less than 100 percent, Smith Sr. is an attractive WR3 play this week.

Steve Smith Sr. - WR - Ravens

Steve Smith Sr. caught 7-of-11 targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' Week 14 win over the Dolphins.

With Torrey Smith limited to decoy duties, Sr. responded with his best game in two months. Sr. could have had an eighth grab, but committed a drop in the end zone. Sr. is doing his job for the Ravens, but remains a low-ceiling option as a WR3.
Sun, Dec 7, 2014 06:08:00 PM
Steve Smith Sr. - WR - Ravens

Steve Smith Sr. is averaging 35.8 yards per game the past five games.

"89" has predictably cooled off after his torrid start to the season when he averaged 91.4 yards and scored four touchdowns the first seven games. Meanwhile, Torrey Smith has turned it on and is seeing box score results after a disappointing, drop-filled start to the year. He has seven touchdowns over his past seven games and is a legit WR2. Steve has settled in as a meager WR3/4.

Steve Smith Sr. - WR - Ravens

Steve Smith Sr. was held to one catch for two yards in Sunday's Week 13 loss to the Chargers.

Smith went toe-to-toe with Chargers elite CB Brandon Flowers and got wiped out. He ended up with just four targets as Joe Flacco wisely chose to pepper Torrey Smith with chances. Smith's hot start is ancient history at this point, as he's been under 40 yards without a touchdown in four of the last five games. Smith will be a weak WR3 in a very tough matchup against Brent Grimes and the Dolphins in Week 14.

Steve Smith Sr. - WR - Ravens

Steve Smith Sr. caught four passes for 89 yards and one touchdown in the Ravens' Week 12 win over the Saints.

Smith Sr. and Torrey Smith each led the Ravens with six targets. Steve's 89 yards were his most since Week 6, while it was also his first end-zone visit since that same game. It was a predictable coming out party for Steve on national television against a familiar foe. He got into several dust-ups after the whistle, most notably with Kenny Vaccaro that led to both teams getting tangled up on the Ravens' sideline. Smith Sr. will be a WR3 at home against the Chargers in Week 13. He greatly benefitted from the Week 11 bye.

Steve Smith Sr. - WR - Ravens

Steve Smith secured just 3-of-7 targets for 17 yards in the Ravens' Week 10 win over the Titans.

Smith has now been held under 40 yards four times in his last six games, and has one touchdown over that six-week span. He's settled back in as just a weekly WR3 option while Torrey Smith has stepped up, finishing Week 10 with a 5-75-1 receiving line, including a 32-yard touchdown bomb. The Ravens go on a bye in Week 11, giving Smith an opportunity to rest his 35-year-old legs.

Steve Smith Sr. - WR - Ravens

Steve Smith was held to five catches for 36 yards in Sunday night's Week 9 loss to the Steelers.

It was a quiet night for Smith, who finished with eight targets. Smith has been held under 40 yards the last two games, and hasn't found the end-zone since Week 6. He'll look to get back on track with an upcoming matchup with the Titans.
