Steve Smith: Sleeper Player for Week 4

       If I was a gambling man, I would lay a large bet on Steve Smith of the New York Giants going over 100 yards in this game. I think he is going to get a ton of catches this week.
  

He's going to go all Rod Tidwell on them. Hopefully then, someone will finally show him the money. (If you've never seen Jerry Maguire, I'm sorry for wasting your time with this joke.)

   You see, the Bears play a classic Cover 2 scheme. The Cover 2 is made to take away the deep threat, meaning that Hakeem Nicks probably won't be able to hurt people over the top. However, the Cover Two defense allows short passes and can be broken with a good slot receiver. Steve Smith is the perfect Cover Two busting possession receiver.

    Last week against the Packers, it looked like Brian Urlacher has maybe lost a step or two. Rodgers threw the ball through the zone Urlacher was supposed to be covering on his touchdown pass to Jennings, and I'm not sure if he's the same guy he was pre-surgery. The middle linebacker is absolutely key in stopping the pass for Cover 2, and if Urlacher doesn't step it up in a big way, Smith is going to burn him all game long.

Dude's got more hops than a brewery.

  Bottom Line, if you have #12, he needs to be in your lineup.
