Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley suggests, this could be the Ravens' way of hurrying Smith's decision-making along. He apparently
wants to take more visits, and the Ravens would like to get their void at wide receiver resolved. If Smith knows the Ravens are talking to another receiver, he may be less inclined to walk away from a deal. The Ravens, though, have a legitimate reason to be interested in Edelman. He's eight years younger than Smith and has more experience playing in the slot than him. Edelman fits what the Ravens want: a receiver who can make the tough catches underneath and can break tackles to convert third downs. ... Edelman is
visiting the 49ers on Friday.
