Our own Al Sacco pointed out today that Smith was targeted seven times on Sunday and hauled in three of those passes. During Weeks 3 through 5, Smith Ward targeted just seven times total.
The 49ers will likely be without RB Carlos Hyde against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. He has not practiced this week due to a shoulder injury.
