  • 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. Tevin…read more

  • 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

  • Out for season

    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

  • Hurts knee Sunday

    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. Smith is working on back-to-back…read more

  • 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. A tremendously unfavorable matchup looms in Week 13, facing a Ravens defense…read more

  • 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.

  • Another inefficient outing on ground

    Smith tallied 16 rushing yards on seven attempts, adding two receptions for 29 yards during Monday's 23-20 win against the Giants.

    Analysis: In Week 6, Smith became the first rookie in Falcons franchise history with a touchdown run in three consecutive games, but overall he has been inordinately inefficient as a ball carrier in 2018. Atlanta's fourth-round pick has averaged fewer than 3.1 yards per carry during the regular season, after establishing 2.5 yards per rush during the preseason slate. With Devonta Freeman (groin/foot) unable to return until at least Dec. 16, expect Smith to garner somewhere between 8-to-12 offensive…read more

  • Role to remain consistent

    Smith will remain a part of the Falcons backfield mix with Devonta Freeman (groin/foot) landing on injured reserve.

    Analysis: Smith has been given an opportunity to be a regular presence in the Falcons offense as a rookie, primarily due to Freeman being inactive in four of six games this season. With Freeman out for the foreseeable future, Smith will continue to serve behind Tevin Coleman out of the backfield. Over the last five outings, Smith has compiled 168 yards from scrimmage on 42 touches and scored three rushing touchdowns.

  • Tallies another touchdown

    Smith compiled 22 rushing yards on 11 carries, including a 14-yard touchdown run, during the Falcons' 34-29 win against Tampa Bay on Sunday.

    Analysis: With yet another score for Smith in Week 6, he became the first rookie in Falcons franchise history with rushing touchdowns in three consecutive games. The 23-year-old tailback has been stifled to a meager 3.2 yards per rush this season, but he's tallied three touchdowns on just 21 carries since Week 4. Next comes a Monday night matchup with the Giants, who've allowed only one running back to exceed 80 rushing yards this season.

  • Set for backup job again

    Smith is set to handle the No. 2 running back job in Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, ESPN.com's Vaughn McClure reports.

    Analysis: Tevin Coleman will get his fourth start of the season with Devonta Freeman (foot, groin) once again ruled out. Smith averaged just 8.3 touches and 45.7 scrimmage yards in the previous three games Freeman missed, but the rookie does have a two-game touchdown streak heading into a favorable matchup with the struggling Bucs defense. "The Judge" can become the first rookie in Falcons franchise history to record a rushing touchdown in three straight games with a score against Tampa Bay on Sunday.

  • Scores in second straight game

    Smith managed five yards and a rushing touchdown on three carries, adding a five-yard catch during Sunday's 41-17 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: The rookie running back scored in his second consecutive outing, but he continues to struggle with rushing efficiency in averaging just 2.8 yards per carry over his past three games. Smith seems to be a rhythm player, as he is much more effective when he gets the opportunity to settle into the game. In two contests with at least seven carries, Smith has averaged 5.1 yards per carry, compared to a negative-0.2 yards per attempt in three games with fewer than seven attempts.

  • Registers first career touchdown

    Smith rushed for 35 yards and a touchdown on seven carries and added three receptions for 13 yards in a 37-36 loss to Cincinnati on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie more than doubled his previous career-high PPR output, picking up 13.8 points on 10 offensive touches as a complement to Tevin Coleman. Smith will continue to get 5-to-10 looks per game as long as Devonta Freeman (knee) is out of the lineup, though the veteran back appears to be close to returning after practicing in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday of last week.

  • Cleared to face Bengals

    Smith (ribs) was removed from the injury report for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: With Devonta Freeman (knee) ruled out for a third straight week, Smith will get another chance to serve as the No. 2 running back. The rookie hasn't done much with the opportunity so far, taking 11 carries for 40 yards and four receptions for 49 yards. Tevin Coleman will continue to handle the majority of backfield work.

  • Sports no-contact jersey

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

    Analysis: The severity of Smith's injury is unclear, but it may have surfaced in Week 3's loss to the Saints when he rushed twice for minus-six yards and caught three passes for 41 yards. Full participation in practice by Friday would cement Smith's availability Sunday versus the Bengals, but his offensive opportunities will drop if Devonta Freeman, who has missed the last two games with a knee injury, returns.

  • Shut down by Saints

    Smith ran for minus-6 rushing yards on two carries but added three receptions for 41 yards in a 43-37 loss to New Orleans on Sunday.

    Analysis: The fourth-round rookie couldn't get anything going on the ground Week 3, but he hauled in three of his four targets for gains of 11, 12 and 18 yards. Granted it's a small sample size, but Smith's struggles as a rusher persist. He's averaging 2.9 yards per carry on 28 preseason and regular-season carries for Atlanta. If Smith is in a backup role Week 4 against Cincinnati with Devonta Freeman (knee) continuing to recuperate from injury, he's likely to get somewhere between five and 10 carries…read more

  • Solid outing in regular-season debut

    Smith picked up 46 rushing yards on nine attempts, as well as one reception for eight yards, during Atlanta's 31-24 victory against the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: After averaging just 2.5 yards per rush during the preseason, the Falcons' fourth-round pick was effective in rotation alongside Tevin Coleman on Sunday. Smith averaged over five yards per carry against a Carolina front seven that in Week 1 held Ezekiel Elliott to his lowest rushing output since September of last season. Given that Devonta Freeman (knee) may miss 3-to-4 weeks with injury, Smith carries a strong likelihood to field 10-plus touches next week against a Saints defense that has…read more

  • Set for No. 2 RB role

    Smith will serve as Tevin Coleman's backup in Sunday's game against Carolina, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: With Devonta Freeman (knee) officially ruled out, Coleman will get the starting nod and figures to take on a large workload. The Falcons didn't give Terron Ward many snaps when Freeman was injured last season, so it's probably unwise to expect more than a handful of touches for Smith, a rookie fourth-round pick out of Southern Miss.

  • Inefficient in Week 2 of preseason

    Smith amassed 34 rushing yards on 13 carries during the Falcons' second preseason game against Kansas City on Friday.

    Analysis: Atlanta's fourth-round pick has struggled to find running room to this point, as Smith has averaged just under 2.3 yards per carry on 15 combined attempts, adding one reception for minus-2 yards. The Southern Mississippi standout fielded kickoff returns Friday night as well, muffing two of them and compiling only 16 yards per runback.

  • Disappoints in first pro game

    Smith rushed twice for no gain and caught his lone target for a loss of two yards during Friday's 17-0 loss to the Jets in the preseason opener.

    Analysis: Tevin Coleman played the opening drive with Matt Ryan before Smith came in alongside backup quarterback Matt Schaub. The entire Falcons offense looked inept with just one first down in the first half, and Smith was no exception. He was a long shot to make up much ground on Coleman or Devonta Freeman to begin with, and this performance did nothing to help earn the rookie fourth-rounder more looks when the games start to count.

  • Back at practice

    Smith (foot) returned to practice Wednesday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick missed a few days of practice with a foot contusion, but he still has plenty of time to impress the coaching staff at training camp. Regardless of how good he looks in practices and the preseason, Smith is expected to open the campaign as Atlanta's No. 3 running back behind Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman.

    Smith missed training camp Sunday with a foot contusion, Matthew Tabeek of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Dan Quinn reported in a post-practice press conference that none of the ailments for Sunday's three inactive players (Ito Smith, Takkarist McKinley, and Ty Sambrailo) are severe. It seems to have been a cautious measure to hold Smith out of practice, with sufficient time to ramp up the rookie's workload prior to the Falcons' preseason opener against the Jets on Aug. 10.
