2023 Fantasy Outlook
Smith hasn't come too close to matching the 12.0 sacks he put up in his first season with Green Bay in 2019, but he did rack up 17.5 sacks while missing only one game over the last two years, so the Packers retained him for another go-around. He figures to continue holding down a regular role, particularly with fellow pass rusher Rashan Gary working his way back from a torn ACL. Smith will be pushed for snaps, though, particularly when Gary is back in the mix. Read Past Outlooks

Without a sack through four games
Smith had five tackles (four solo) and one quarterback hit in Thursday's 34-20 loss to the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Smith's slow start continues. He has yet to record a sack in 2023 after notching at least 8.5 sacks in each of the previous two seasons. Perhaps age is starting to catch up to Smith, who will turn 31 in November.

After a tough 2020 season in which he tied his career low in sacks, Smith bounced back a year ago, registering nine sacks and forcing two fumbles. He did little in the tackle department, though, and saw his snap count decline for a second straight season. Smith did enough to be retained by the Packers and will be counted as the starting edge opposite Rashan Gary.
