5 years agoAtlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith has shown some promising potential so far this year. He has the lone Falcons rushing touchdown this season and his 5.7 yards per carry average is far superior than starting running back Devonta Freeman's 3.3 yards per carry average. However, Smith only saw four touches in Week 4 and has just 18 touches on the season. He's a great handcuff for Freeman owners in deep leagues and is a viable stash in general in deep leagues as an injury to Freeman would open up a big opportunity for him. However at this point, Freeman is still the lead man in the backfield by a decent margin and Smith doesn't belong in any starting lineups.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
