kevin smith injured (8/25) (1 Viewer)

- Start date
wait, what?Considering LeShoure will be suspended and not able to play until week 3, I think it's a pretty safe bet to say he won't be starting in week 2.As much as I'm willing to risk? Do you bluff like this all the time with strangers?

Yeah, he was AWFUL when he was in there last season.
Ya he had over a year off from football and then had a good game against a horrible Carolina defense and the started to.have a decent game against a bad Green Bay defense, and despite all that rest he still got hurt. That is the guy I want for my rb2,and wasting a valuable mid round pick on.

Not so much an overreaction as much as it is a reminder that this it the kind of guy that has a big medical history so when you draft him you have to be willing to hold your breath on every play. The last 4 times I have seen him play a game, he's come off the field hobbled. Just the way it is.
So you are telling me that you won your league because of these games:Week 14 - He didn't playWeek 15 - 43 rush yards 1 catch for 3 yardsWeek 16 - 49 rush yards 2 catches for 12 yards but he did have 2 tdsWeek 17 (if you played this week) - 35 rush yards 4 catches for 26 yards and 1 touchdown.I call your bull####Yea - Awful enough to help me pick up a nice check as league champion'Raider Nation said:Yeah, he was AWFUL when he was in there last season.'Chazzhawk said:

He's probably telling you those 21 pts helped him win the Super Bowl. Sounds reasonable to me.So you are telling me that you won your league because of these games:Week 14 - He didn't playYea - Awful enough to help me pick up a nice check as league champion'Raider Nation said:Yeah, he was AWFUL when he was in there last season.'Chazzhawk said:

Got K. Smith at 11.1 in today's live draft... all other owners thought he suffered another high ankle sprain. 
Now I can get on board with that ADPGot K. Smith at 11.1 in today's live draft... all other owners thought he suffered another high ankle sprain.

I just don't see how you can use a high pick on a guy who can not stay on the field.... he is the epitome of injury plagued.
He was very talented as a rookie. I loved his skill. He has the hips and the moves to make it happen, and I saw he had great potential. I got burned on him due to injury.
Maybe his time out of the game helped him some.....
He just is not reliable for a high pick. Late round options for sleeper value? Sure, np.
My draft was Sat night....12 Team PPR with 3 player Keeper
Kevin Smith went 4.02 (equivilent of 8.02). Very reasonable IMO.
He was RB4 for that team.
But I felt good when I picked up LeShoure 4 rounds later.... my RB5

It is sad because the kid has major talent, and he works very hard. I just don't think his body can stand up to the beating the NFL gives it on a week to week basis

The people that remark about last year also have to remember that even though he came in off the street and played, that doesn't necessarily mean he was "in football shape" at that point either. I figure the risk for him getting injured last year was probably higher than usual considering he didn't have half a year to get used to the hits/contact.
With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make it through Week 7-8 this season either but I give him a bit of a pass for last year injury wise.

Looks like he's good for 4 TD's then.

In all seriousness, if he gets through this week of practice and is healthy for the game, he could be one of the weeks highest scorers at runner. STL blows something awful on defense, and I do not see them being able to cover all angles Detroit will throw at them. Detroit should be ahead and try to run it out with Smith possibly plus he can catch out of the backfield, those are my thoughts.

I just can't believe how low all the expert websites out there have him ranked so low for week 1?

Yahoo has him projected as the 6th highest scoring RB for week 1. He's only behind Foster, McCoy, Rice, McFadden, and Forte.

This is what happens when you carry the rock 450 times in your junior year of college, he was run straight into the ground, I really feel for the dude. That being said, for as long as he's healthy I don't see how he can't be treated as at least a flex. In this specific match-up, there's no way he's not a high-end RB2 in PPR leagues. Also, although I feel like I might be wasting roster space for a sub-par ground attack, in my one league I made sure to back up K.Smith with Leshoure. Worst case scenario this becomes a full blown timeshare by mid year.
Why would you be shocked? Look at his numbers when healthy last season. Also, he is a talented guy playing in a high powered offense. He could be a top 10 rb this week given his matchup and lack of competition for touches.
