Kevin Smith limps off the field. We break down the fantasy implications.
Running back Kevin Smith limped off the field in Saturday's game against the Raiders and punched the bench in frustration following the injury.
Analysis: Here we go again. Smith has been ravaged by injuries in his career. Most notably, he suffered a torn ACL in 2009. Smith also dealt with an ankle sprain that slowed him down at the end of November last year. The Lions have the most injury-prone backs in the league with Jahvid Best (concussion) and Smith as two of their primary ball carriers. Mikel LeShoure tore his Achilles last year and will face a two-game suspension to start the season. We'll update this situation, but for now we would move Smith down a couple spots and push LeShoure up a few slots in our draft boards. If your draft is coming up, make sure you're abreast of the developments for this situation.
