Smith could take on an expanded role in the Jets' receiver corps Thursday against the Ravens, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Smith is facing a notable opportunity with Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) listed as doubtful and top receiving tight end Ryan Griffin (ankle) ruled out. The second-year pro boasts big-play ability -- he's averaged 16.0 yards per catch for his career -- but he doesn't normally draw consistent enough target volume to warrant fantasy consideration. With more snaps likely headed his way Thursday, Smith's fantasy upside could be higher than usual, though his floor is still dangerously low.
