Square Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I've seen him listed as limited in practice on Thursday and Friday. Anybody think he hits the field full speed today? Any locals have info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Agent Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I'm betting he plays. I have Morris just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot said the same thing about McCoy this week and got burned. It's a chance but I'm taking it if he plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Smith is no Lesean McCoy. To me, the Lions will get down early and need to pass like crazy to keep up. That doesnt benefit Smith or Morris, IMO. Too risky for me . . .

shotgun72 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Great. Now it's Reggie Bush in a great matchup or K Smith...... Wish he was out to make my decision easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This...as a fresh burn victim I agree. If Kevin Smith cannot go tonight I will be forced to put in Frenchie. KO'd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Smith is a GREAT play in PPR leuges Ehhh, you are basing this off of one week's worth of performance? And he has a bad ankle to top it off? That'll win you some championships as much as hugging Stewart's nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can stay in the game I think he has value no matter the score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzac Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Ehhh, you are basing this off of one week's worth of performance?And he has a bad ankle to top it off? That'll win you some championships as much as hugging Stewart's nuts It's actually based on 5 Qs, right? He was tearing it up on T-Giving before getting hurt (57 yards in ths first Q?). It's also based on who the guy is - when healthy, we all know he's a solid player who is very involved in the passing game. His issue has always been major injuries. Before the ankle tweak, he looked damn healthy - assuming that he suits up (recall this guy is playing for a contract and his future in football in general), I have no reservations about him. For what it's worth, I'm playing him over Benson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdub! Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) I really don't think any prudent person would trust him leading into fantasy playoffs at this point. I own him, like the guy, have high hopes, but he can't be relied upon. EDIT: from http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpag...2395&spln=1 Kevin Smith has confirmed he aggravated his "high" ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Saints. We have "high" in quotation marks because it's still uncertain if that's what Smith has actually been dealing with, or if the Lions are just playing fast and loose with injury terminology. Typically, a player would not be active just 10 days after suffering a high-ankle sprain. Smith also confirmed he was playing hurt even before leaving tonight's game, saying he couldn't cut. That was apparent to the naked eye even though he managed to rack up 80 yards on only 12 touches. His status will be updated at coach Jim Schwartz's Monday press conference.

LvilleSlugger Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Why would he be playing if not yet fully healed, especially when they have a couple of capable backs behind him? Chalk up another strike against the Lions coaching staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Meh, he ended up getting me more points than Ingram. Hope he can get and stay healthy. Smith seems like a good kid and it sucks for a talented runner to possibly be done at 24 just because his body keeps failing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
