Last season, Jennings was targeted 8.8 times per game, so the margin is closing, but Smith typically has more opportunity on a week-to-week basis. Jennings has a good shot of outscoring Smith this season, but I think Smith has the better shot posting the better season.

Smith's talent is elite but his past and present injuries coupled with Delhomme's inconsistency make me nervous. I guess, to me, it boils down to: Smith's superior skills vs. Jennings' more stable situation In that sense, Smith is the upside play and Jennings the safer pick.

Smith averages 18+ points per game while Jennings is a 16-17 ppg guy, so with the shoulder looking good for Week 1, I put Smith in a higher tier with Calvin, Wayne and Moss.

I've done one draft and a couple of mocks, and I still don't have a strong handle on whether I like Jennings or Smith more. No consideration to Jennings, huh?
