What It Means:

Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman are sidelined with hamstring injuries. Currently third on the depth chart behind those two, Smith is the top man in the backfield heading into the game.

Last year on 23 carries, Smith added 3.21 points to the Falcons' expected scoring output, according to our Rushing Net Expected Points metric. That ranked him 23rd among all running backs. His Reception Net Expected Points score of 17.97 ranked him 20th at the position. He's got big-play upside and should be a viable DFS option tonight.
