Smith (groin) is out for Sunday's game against the Giants. |
Smith's absence shouldn't affect anything about the Philadelphia offense, as he's yet to see a target yet this year. |

Smith (groin) is active Monday at Indianapolis, Sheil Kapadia of PhillyMag.com reports. |
Smith is far down the Eagles' wide receiver ranks. If in need of production, owners should focus their attention on Jordan Matthews outside of top options Jeremy Maclin and Riley Cooper. |

Smith (groin) is probable for Sunday's game against Jacksonville. |
Smith is listed as Philadelphia's third wideout ahead of rookie second-round pick Jordan Matthews, but that's likely just a ceremonial nod toward Smith's veteran status. He's mostly off the fantasy radar at the moment, though coach Chip Kelly's creativity means Smith could get a chance to show his running skills at some point. |
Fri Aug 15 2014 | 22:14 | Smith |
Smith, Afeanyi Momah and Arrelious Benn started Friday's preseason game against the Patriots, Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal reports. |
With Jeremy Maclin (hamstring) and Riley Cooper (foot) out, the Eagles opted not to start either of their promising rookie wideouts, Jordan Matthews and Josh Huff (shoulder). Though Smith's versatility will help his chances of making the final roster, he doesn't figure to do much in the passing game this season. The same goes for Afeanyi Momah and Arrelious Benn, although someone will have to step up if all the injuries lingers. Despite starting, Smith did not register a target in Friday's game. |

Eagles WR/KR Brad Smith has agreed to a restructured contract. |
Smith was owed $1.3 million this season, but the new deal lowers his base salary by $395,000. He's now due just $450,000 in guaranteed money. Smith, 30, will compete for a role on special teams and as a reserve wideout. |

Eagles will sign WR/KR Brad Smith. |
The Bills waived Smith off injured reserve Friday. He'll step into Chip Kelly's scheme as depth at wideout and a potential Wildcat quarterback. Smith, 30, could also very well take Damaris Johnson's job on both punt and kickoff returns. |

Wed Jul 10 2013 | 13:28 | Bills.com hints Brad Smith's spot in trouble |
BuffaloBills.com left Brad Smith off its list of receivers with "relatively secure futures in Buffalo." |
Back to being a full-time wideout, Smith wasn't lumped in with Stevie Johnson, T.J. Graham, Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin. Reporter Chris Brown does call Smith a "dependable veteran" who "made his share of plays in the spring." Ultimately, it's hard to see Smith surviving his $2.75 million salary and keeping his roster spot. |

Fri Jul 5 2013 | 09:28 | Brad Smith less than 50-50 to keep spot? |
ESPN AFC East blogger James Walker gives Brad Smith just a 40 percent chance of keeping his roster spot. |
Even that might be optimistic after the Bills added Robert Woods, Marquise Goodwin and Da'Rick Rogers. Smith's $2.75 million salary makes him a prime candidate for release. Smith has been lining up exclusively at receiver this offseason after combining for just 37 catches the past two seasons. |

Fri Jun 21 2013 | 09:10 | Brad Smith played receiver in the spring |
Bills WR/QB/KR Brad Smith lined up exclusively at receiver in spring practices. |
It would actually be better news for Smith if the new regime viewed him as a wildcat quarterback, as he's due an untenable $2.75 million. That, coupled with the Bills' talent infusion at receiver makes Smith highly unlikely to survive cuts. Going on 30, Smith has caught just 37 passes in two seasons in Buffalo. |

Thu May 9 2013 | 15:50 | Brad Smith a cap casualty candidate for Bills |
WGR 550 reports WR/KR/QB Brad Smith is "firmly atop" the list of potential cap casualties for the Bills. |
Smith, 29, has two years left on a four-year, $15 million contract, and the Bills can save $2.75 million against the cap by releasing him this summer. Buffalo drafted Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin in the second and third rounds, respectively. The Bills also added top UDFA Da'Rick Rogers to the mix with Stevie Johnson and T.J. Graham. Smith doesn't have much of a role anymore. Beat writer Joe Buscaglia also names RT Erik Pears, K Rian Lindell, QB Tarvaris Jackson, and DE Mark Anderson as candidates for release. |

Sun Sep 30 2012 | 17:39 | Brad Smith goes for 49 yards, touchdown |
Bills WR/QB Brad Smith caught two passes for 49 yards and a touchdown in Week 4 against the Patriots. |
We all know the drill on Smith by now. While he has some talent and can play multiple offensive and special teams roles, he's never a big enough part of Chan Gailey's week-to-week game plan to be given serious fantasy-start consideration. Smith entered Week 4 with five touches for 27 total yards. Leave him on the waiver wire heading to Week 5 against San Francisco. |

Thu Jan 12 2012 | 10:27 | Gailey: Brad Smith is gadget-type player |
Bills coach Chan Gailey plans to continue to use Brad Smith in a gadget-type role in 2012. |
Smith made five starts down the stretch in 2011, but averaged only 32 yards in them. He's not a natural wideout. "We were going along there and running the Wildcat with him and if you'd look, when our third-down efficiency dropped off was when we had to move him to wideout full-time," Gailey said. "...He can be your fifth or sixth wideout, he can be a good special teams player." |
