Ravens WR Steve Smith announced his retirement via Twitter on Friday. The 37-year-old finishes his 16-season career with 1,031 catches, 14,731 yards and 81 TDs. Those marks rank 12th, 7th and 26th, respectively, in NFL history. Smith turned in 9 top-20 fantasy campaigns, including a #1 finish in 2005.

The Ravens have fired OC Marc Trestman. It feels like a panic move after the offense laid an egg in Sunday's home loss to the Redskins. Granted, Trestman abandoned an effective running game. But he's a proven offensive mind that's produced lots of fantasy goodness. Trestman will be replaced by Marty Mornhinweg, who has leaned toward the pass throughout his career. His offenses have ranked higher in pass attempts than rush attempts in 11 of his 15 seasons as a HC or OC.
