2008 Outlook: Bye Week Fill-in

Alex Smith had a nice year last year in which he caught 32 passes for 385 yards and 3 TD's before spraining his ankle in Week 6, which hampered him for the remainder of the season. Free agent acquisition Ben Troupe from Tennessee will push Smith for the starting job and could steal some catches next season -- which will only hurt Smith's fantasy value. Troupe has always under-performed in Tennessee, so maybe a change of scenery is all he needs. Troupe is a decent sleeper at the position in 2008, while Alex Smith is nothing more than a bye week fill-in if he holds onto the job because he doesn't have as much upside as Troupe. Neither Smith or Troupe are worth drafting, but you should keep an eye on the situation in Tampa Bay next season.
