Will Steve Smith keep his role as the Ravens leading receiver?

In December, Steve Smith announced that he would not be retiring after the 2015 season ended, as he originally said, but that he would instead return to play in 2016. This will be Steve Smith's 16th season in the NFL and his third with the Ravens. During his Ravens tenure, he has been the #1 receiver on the depth chart. Will that stay the same in 2016 though?

Steve Smith is 37. There's only been one receiver in the history of the NFL to play at the level of a number one receiver at that age and his name was Jerry Rice, who you might also know as the greatest wide receiver ever.
