Kevin Smith did not play a single offensive snap in the Lions' Week 4 loss to the Vikings.
Smith has tumbled down the depth chart, now slotting in behind Mikel Leshoure and Joique Bell. Leshoure touched the football 17 times against Minnesota. Bell got seven touches and totaled a team-high 74 yards operating in the change-of-pace back role. We wouldn't be surprised if Smith encountered fantasy value before the season is up, but for now he's an RB5/waiver wire fodder.
Smith is better at catching out of the backfield than Benson - but I agree that GB wouldn't move on him. Smith's potential value through a trade elsewhere is the only reason I'm holding on to him at this point
well he really shined for the first two weeks and now that he is out I have had to resort to pickin up jackie battle, bryce brown and starks. Imma GB fan and I don't think benson is worth the money. Cobb is definitely a more versatile player. Just hope Starks gets better soon :)

Kevin you always deserved better then Matt Millen and the lions. Could have been a great career.

Yup. No way Smith should be riding the bench!

Plus, Handshake Schwatzy is the Head Coach and their defense has a bunch of wannabe thugs on it!

I wish the Steelers would pick him up.

Greenbay could definitely use him.

Plus, Leshoure could go down at some point and Best doesn't know whether he's coming or going.
