News

  • Minimal impact in limited role

    Smith ran for six yards on three carries, and returned two kickoffs for 59 yards during Sunday's 34-33 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Game flow did not trend in Smith's favor, as the Falcons fell into a three-possession hole in the third quarter and were forced to throw in an effort to ignite a late comeback. Smith garnered six targets in Week 5 against Houston, but otherwise has only exceeded four targets in a single game once in his 20-game NFL career. Upcoming next is a matchup against a Rams defense that contained a thus-far dominant 49ers ground attack to just 2.4 yards per carry Sunday.

  • Big-time producer in passing game

    Smith ran for 19 yards on five carries, while adding six catches for 45 receiving yards during Sunday's 53-32 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: The second-year back had seen a regression in his running game role since suffering a concussion Sept. 22 against Indianapolis, fielding three combined carries between Weeks 3 and 4. Sunday against Houston, he was back to a viable fantasy workload, garnering his second-highest total of rush attempts this season while benefiting from a career-high six targets. Upcoming next for Smith and the Falcons' backfield is a matchup against an Arizona defense that held the Cincinnati backfield without a…read more

  • Notches first score of 2019

    Smith accounted for 11 yards and a touchdown on two carries, and caught two of four targets for 20 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: The Atlanta ground attack has been dormant through the first four weeks of the regular season, with the team accounting for a collective 71.3 rushing yards per game. Smith individually has seen marked improvement to his rushing efficiency in a limited sample size, with his yards-per-carry average improving to 5.7 from the 3.5 mark he established as a rookie. Week 5 is a challenging matchup for Smith and this struggling Falcons' rushing attack, going up against a Texans defense that's allowed…read more

  • Cleared from concussion protocol

    Smith (concussion) will play in Sunday's game against the Titans, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Smith only needed a few days to pass through the concussion protocol, returning to practice as a limited participant Thursday before shedding his non-contact jersey Friday. He's set for his usual role splitting backfield work with Devonta Freeman. Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports that the team gave Smith some work on kickoff returns during Friday's practice, hoping to find a short-term replacement for Kenjon Barner (out - concussion/knee).

  • Practices without no-contact jersey

    Smith (concussion) practiced Friday without a non-contact jersey, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Smith did not practice Wednesday and wore a non-contact jersey Thursday after suffering a concussion last week, but it appears he made even more progress Friday. No announcement has been made yet about Smith clearing the concussion protocol, but he appears to be trending in that direction. Smith returned kicks at Friday's practice, so if he plays Sunday, he could see action in that role if teammate Kenjon Barner (concussion/knee) is unable to go.

  • Puts in limited session

    Smith (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: According to Jason Butt of The Athletic, Smith was spotted in a black no-contact jersey during the session, but the fact that he put in some on-field work Thursday after being a non-participant in practice a day earlier suggests he's progressing well from the concussion. Regardless of what he's able to do at the Falcons' final practice of the week Friday, Smith will need to receive clearance from an independent neurologist in order to suit up Sunday against the Titans.

  • Present at practice Thursday

    Smith (concussion) wore a black non-contact jersey at Thursday's practice, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: After sitting out Wednesday, Smith is showing signs of progress through the protocol for head injuries. It's unclear exactly where he stands, but his practice reps now will be monitored to see if he has a chance to play Sunday against the Titans.

  • Not practicing Wednesday

    Smith (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Smith was forced out of the Week 3 loss to the Colts and will need to fully clear the league's protocol for head injuries before returning to game action. If Smith isn't able to make it back for Sunday's matchup with the Titans, Atlanta would turn to either Qadree Ollison or Brian Hill as the primary backup to Devonta Freeman.

  • Officially has concussion

    Smith has been diagnosed with a concussion and won't return to Sunday's contest at Indianapolis, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Smith went down on the Falcons' first possession of the game, leaving the backfield with just two active bodies (Devonta Freeman and Kenjon Barner). If he's unable to get out of the protocol for head injuries in time for a Week 4 matchup with the Titans, Atlanta will be forced to activate rookie Qadree Ollison and/or Brian Hill for the first time this season.

  • Having head examined

    Smith is under evaluation for a head injury, making him questionable to return to Sunday's game at Indianapolis, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Prior to getting injured on the Falcons' first drive of the contest, Smith tallied one carry for zero yards. If he's unable to return, the Falcons will be down to just two active running backs (Devonta Freeman and Kenjon Barner).

  • Peels off 28-yard scamper

    Smith ran for 32 yards on four carries, adding two receptions for 13 yards during Sunday's 24-20 win against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Outside of a 28-yard rush late in the third quarter, Smith averaged 1.3 yards on his other three carries against an Eagles defense that has stifled opponents to a meager 85 total rushing yards through Week 2. Be that as it may, Smith's efficiency has skyrocketed in the early going of his sophomore campaign, with his per-carry average increasing from 3.5 as a rookie, to 6.3 yards thus far in 2019. Next up for Smith and the Atlanta backfield is a matchup against a Colts defense that ranks 20th in…read more

  • Efficient Week 1 outing

    Smith ran for 31 yards on six carries, and accounted for a nine-yard reception during Sunday's 28-12 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: A lack of rushing efficiency has been the lone glaring flaw on Smith's resume to this point, as the second-year back has demonstrated proficiency in the passing game (27 receptions for 152 yards as a rookie), while reaching the end zone seven times on 124 preseason and regular-season carries. Prior to Sunday's tilt against Minnesota's menacing defensive front, Smith had averaged just 3.3 yards per attempt for his NFL career, but he kicked off Week 1 with a 16-yard gain on his very first touch,…read more

  • Gets active tag Sunday

    Smith is one of three active running backs on the Falcons' roster Sunday at Minnesota, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The Falcons opted to hold out Qadree Ollison and Brian Hill, leaving Smith, Devonta Freeman and Kenjon Barner as the sole available RBs. Freeman no doubt will lead the way, but this backfield has been notable for its propensity for two relevant options. With Freeman sidelined for much of last season, Smith served as the No. 2 to the departed Tevin Coleman, yet he averaged 8.4 touches per game, 3.5 yards per carry and 4.8 yards per target in 14 contests.

  • Scores in third straight game

    Smith accounted for 23 yards and a touchdown on five carries, adding one catch for nine yards during Thursday's 19-7 preseason loss to Washington.

    Analysis: The second-year back has now hit paydirt in three of four exhibition outings after enduring a six-game touchdown slump to round out 2018. Concern is centered around his fantasy value being touchdown-dependent, as he's not an elite option out of the backfield in the passing game and ranks well behind second-string competitors Qadree Ollison and Brian Hill with 2.88 yards per carry this preseason.

  • Scores another preseason TD

    Smith garnered 13 yards and a touchdown on five rushing attempts and caught all three of his targets for 45 yards during Thursday's 22-10 loss to the Jets in Week 2 of preseason.

    Analysis: Smith got into the end zone for the second straight preseason contest, converting from four yards out in the final minute of the first half. The second-year running back out of Southern Miss has established himself as the front-runner to back up injury-prone starter Devonta Freeman.

  • Reaches end zone in preseason loss

    Smith collected seven yards and a touchdown on four rush attempts during Thursday's 34-27 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: Thursday night's performance was a protypical outing for Smith, as he proved to be relatively inefficient on a per-carry basis but salvaged a respectable outing by rumbling his way into the end zone on a goal-line rush. Last year he had a touchdown in four games, but he averaged a modest 3.9 yards per carry in those contests. Smith ran for just 3.5 yards per carry as a rookie, and excluding his one-yard touchdown run against the Dolphins, is averaging a hair over 3.0 yards per attempt in the…read more

  • Four touches in HOF game

    Smith rushed three times for six yards and brought in his only target for six yards in the Falcons' 14-10 preseason loss to the Broncos on Thursday.

    Analysis: Smith couldn't get much going on the ground while in the contest, gaining just two total yards on two of his three carries. The 2018 fourth-round pick is primarily battling fellow incumbent Brian Hill and rookie Qadree Ollison for depth chart slotting behind Devonta Freeman, and he'll presumably get a boost in touches in forthcoming exhibitions after seeing Hill outpace him by eight carries Thursday.

  • Needs to battle rookie for work

    The Falcons used a fifth-round pick (No. 152 overall) on Qadree Ollison to join Smith and Devonta Freeman in the backfield, Will McFadden of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: There was little question Atlanta would add backfield depth after losing Tevin Coleman to the 49ers in March. There's still a nice opportunity for Smith to earn the No. 2 job in a prolific offense, though he didn't make the best case for himself last season when he averaged 3.5 yards on 90 carries and 5.6 yards on 27 receptions. The Falcons did make aggressive moves to upgrade their mediocre offensive line during the offseason, and Smith should have a large advantage over the 228-pound Ollison…read more

  • Not seen as Coleman's replacement

    Head coach Dan Quinn stopped short of naming Smith as Tevin Coleman's replacement, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. "He certainly has shown that he's capable of [replacing Coleman], but if that (Coleman leaving in free agency) takes place, there will definitely be other guys that we put into the mix to compete with (Smith)," Quinn said Wednesday at the NFL Combine.

    Analysis: This is not what dynasty owners wanted to hear, but there are definitely reasons Quinn feels that way. For starters, Smith topped four yards per carry in just four of 14 appearances as a rookie last season and didn't log a single carry of 20-plus yards over 90 attempts. He wasn't much of a receiving threat, either, averaging just 4.7 yards per target and 5.6 yards per catch. While it's possible Smith could make significant improvement after his first full offseason, his rookie season fell far…read more

  • Nearly finished rehab

    Smith (knee) is almost back to 100 percent health and doesn't expect to have any limitations during the offseason, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Smith had arthroscopic surgery Dec. 19 to address a meniscus issue in his left knee and missed the final two weeks of his rookie campaign. He finished the year with 90 carries for 315 yards (3.5 average) and four touchdowns, adding 27 catches for 152 yards on 32 targets (4.8 YPT). While the inefficient stat line doesn't exactly beg for more work, Smith currently projects as Atlanta's No. 2 running back behind Devonta Freeman (groin), who has struggled with injuries the past two years.

  • Gets knee scoped

    Smith (knee) underwent an arthroscopic procedure Wednesday to address meniscus damage, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Coach Dan Quinn confirmed Thursday that Smith's surgery went according to plan and added that the 23-year-old should be ready to go for the start of the Falcons' offseason program. Though he only averaged 3.5 yards per carry over 14 appearances in his rookie campaign, Smith showed a nose for the end zone (four touchdowns) and some pass-catching upside (27 receptions on 32 targets for 152 yards). The Falcons will return Devonta Freeman (groin) from injury in 2019 to presumably reclaim the lead…read more

  • Diagnosed with meniscus injury

    Smith is slated for surgery to repair meniscus damage in his left knee, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports. As a result, the Falcons will place Smith on injured reserve, per Will McFadden of the team's official site.

    Analysis: Smith dealt with neck and knee injuries in preparation for Sunday's eventual 40-14 win against the Cardinals, aggravating the latter enough that it'll end his season. Fortunately, the diagnosis backed up coach Dan Quinn's assertion that Smith doesn't have an ACL tear, according to Jason Butt of The Athletic. Smith will join Devonta Freeman (groin) on IR, leaving primary backfield duties to Tevin Coleman for the final two games of the season. Beyond Coleman, 2017 fifth-round pick Brian Hill is…read more

    Smith (knee) will be placed on injured reserve, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Smith had 34 yards on nine carries and five yards on two catches in Sunday's 40-14 win over the Cardinals, but in the process he aggravated the same knee that bothered him during practice late last week. Coach Dan Quinn confirmed the injury isn't an ACL tear, though it is serious enough to require surgery, per Jason Butt of The Athletic. Tevin Coleman likely will take on more work over the final two weeks of the season, with Brian Hill now stepping in as the No. 2 running back. Smith actually…read more

    Smith is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a knee injury, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his departure in the fourth quarter, Smith handled nine carries for 34 yards and hauled in two of three passes for five yards. With Smith on the sideline yet again, the Falcons will rely on Tevin Coleman to fuel the ground game moving forward.

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Smith (knee/neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The two injuries resulted in the Falcons restricting Smith's practice load this week, though he did complete a full session Thursday. Smith should fill his usual duties as the top complement to starting running back Tevin Coleman, a role that has translated to averages of 7.5 carries and 2.5 targets per game over the past nine weeks while Devonta Freeman (groin) has been sidelined.

  • Logs limited practice Friday

    Smith (knee/neck), who is questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, was listed as a limited participant in Friday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: An earlier report suggested Smith missed practice, but he apparently did enough to warrant "limited" status on the final injury report. While his neck injury from earlier in the week doesn't appear to be an issue, he seems to have hurt his knee somewhere along the way. Coach Dan Quinn did say he expects Smith to play Sunday, but if not, the Falcons will turn to Brian Hill as their No. 2 running back while likely giving Tevin Coleman a bit more work than usual.

  • Now bothered by knee

    Smith is listed as questionable after missing Friday's practice with a sore knee, but coach Dan Quinn still expects the running back to play in Sunday's game against Arizona, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Smith was limited at Wednesday's practice with a neck injury before upgrading to full participation Thursday. He apparently hurt his knee somewhere along the way, potentially setting up Brian Hill to serve as the No. 2 running back behind Tevin Coleman in Week 15. Quinn may be optimistic, but Smith's absence Friday suggests he's truly questionable and could come down to a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 1 PM ET kickoff. An absence likely would leave more work for Coleman, given that Smith…read more

  • Bumps up to full practice

    Smith (neck) was a full practice participant Thursday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Smith kicked off the week with a limited listing, so bumping up to an uncapped practice gives him the all-clear to continue the smaller side of a timeshare with Tevin Coleman out of the Falcons backfield. Aside from reaching the end zone in three consecutive games from Weeks 4 through 6, Smith has scored just one touchdown in his 10 other games while recording more than 50 yards from scrimmage three times overall.

  • Tending to neck injury

    Smith was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a neck injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Smith has shown flashes as a rookie, but volume and usage in the red zone have been at the root of his best outings to date. Utilizing a season-high 32 offensive snaps Week 14 against an exploitable Packers defense, he notched career bests in touches (14) and yards from scrimmage (74). He emerged with a neck issue, though, so his status should be watched closely as the week goes on.

  • Totals 74 scrimmage yards

    Smith had 11 carries for 60 yards and caught three of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Smith tied his highest carry and yardage totals of the season as he out-touched Tevin Coleman out of the backfield for the second straight week. A more productive afternoon may have been in store, but the Falcons fell behind 34-7 in the third quarter and mostly abandoned the run thereafter. The rookie fourth-round pick has a solid matchup next week against a Cardinals defense that allows 140.9 rushing yards per game and 4.5 per carry.

  • Bottled up by Baltimore

    Smith rushed for 22 yards on seven carries and added a reception that did not gain yardage during Sunday's 26-16 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Heading into Atlanta's recent four-game losing streak, the rookie had scored in four of his previous five games. During Atlanta's recent struggles, the rookie back has not found the end zone, has not reached 30 total yards in a game, and is averaging just 2.1 yards per carry. The good news, if there is any, is that Smith ended Sunday with one more carry than starter Tevin Coleman. It'll be interesting to see how carries are split in Week 14 against a middle-of-the-road Packers run defense.

  • Shut down by Saints

    Smith amounted zero rushing yards on four carries, adding two receptions for seven yards during Thursday's 31-17 loss to New Orleans.

    Analysis: Outside of a 10-carry, 60-yard outing against Washington on Nov. 4, Smith has averaged a meager 2.6 yards per rush this season. A spree of four touchdowns between Week 4 and Week 8 has kept Smith as a top-50 fantasy producer at the position in most formats, but he's been brutal of late with 21 combined rushing yards over his past three games (14 attempts), and no more than 15 receiving yards in any of those contests.

  • Rushing inefficiency persists

    Smith managed 10 yards on six carries, adding two receptions for 12 yards during a 22-19 loss to Dallas on Sunday.

    Analysis: Smith has been notably inefficient as a ball carrier, averaging fewer than 3.4 yards per carry on the season, and only breaking 2.8 yards per attempt three times in 10 outings. The rookie running back's upside comes by way of frequent red-zone usage, as he entered Week 11 fielding 45.5 percent of Atlanta red-zone carries (compared to Tevin Coleman's 39.4 percent). Smith has a reasonable shot at falling into the end zone when Atlanta travels to takes on New Orleans Thursday, facing a bottom-five…read more

  • Held in check during Week 10 loss

    Smith was contained to 11 rushing yards on four carries but added four receptions for 15 yards during Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Smith's fantasy value has been salvaged by way of the touchdown (four scores this year, all coming from inside the 15-yard line), but his rushing efficiency has been staggeringly poor. The rookie out of Southern Miss has been held to fewer than three yards per carry in five of his past seven outings, and he's averaging worse than 3.6 yards per rush overall on the season. Smith looks to rebound in Week 11 against Dallas, but the prospects aren't exactly glowing: The Cowboys defense has held…read more

  • Scores in win

    Smith ran for 60 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries and added a six-yard catch during Sunday's 38-14 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Smith added to Atlanta's lead midway through the second quarter, taking a draw and hurdling a defender for a 12-yard touchdown. The rookie came into Sunday averaging just three yards per carry but set career highs in yardage on Sunday and scored for the fourth time in the last five games. The Falcons will rely on him next Sunday against a Cleveland defense that has harassed opposing passers but is giving up 4.6 yards per rush.
