Lions RB Smith looks to play in week 4

Sep 27, 2010

Kevin Smith is ready to hit Green Bay's Frozen Tundra running for his first game action of the season in his recovery from a severe knee injury.

Smith, who led the Lions in rushing the last two seasons, sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament in Game 13 last season.

A toe injury to rookie tailback Jahvid Best in Sunday's 24-10 loss at Minnesota could open the way for Smith to play on Sunday. Maurice Morris and Aaron Brown are the other healthy tailbacks on the roster.

Smith was guardedly optimistic when he spoke about playing on Sunday.

“It's pretty clear-cut," Smith said Monday afternoon. “I pretty much know right know. I'll leave it until Wednesday."

Does he feel better about playing than he did a week ago?

“Yeah. Pretty much," Smith said. “Hopefully, it doesn't turn into a letdown."

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
