SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #107   
Overall: #470


Smith returned from his major knee injury but wasn't much of a factor. He had fewer than 20-rushing yards in all but a game. His season also ended early because of a thumb injury, which required surgery. Smith has missed 13 games the last two seasons. He has more than 1,000 total yards each of his first two seasons, but can't seem to stay healthy at this point of his career. Smith has decent size at running back, but also possesses some speed and big-play ability. He does lack some patience and visions as a runner. Smith is a capable receiver, catching 91 passes in three seasons. He is just 24 years old, but his recent bout of injury issues makes 2011 a pivotal year for Smith.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Smith might not be a bad guy to target late in your draft as a No. 4 or 5 back. He has some upside and potential, but is an injury risk heading into the season. Expect a year with around 600 or 700 total yards and a few scores.
Detroit Lions impending free-agent RB Kevin Smith said he would to re-sign with the team this offseason but is not sure if the team is interested in bringing him back. The Lions are expected be getting RBs Jahvid Best (concussion) and Mikel Leshoure (Achilles') back from injuries.
Fantasy Impact: Even if not back with the Lions, Smith should find work after playing well down the stretch.

Fantasy Impact: His yardage totals weren't great but his touchdowns more than made up for that. Smith looks pretty healthy on his ankle injury.
