Kevin Smith (Detroit Lions)

Lions re-signed RB Kevin Smith to a one-year contract.
One season after going unsigned until November, Smith gets a soft landing with the only team he's ever known. Coming off another injury-checkered campaign, he received no other known interest in free agency. Smith was effective and versatile when he managed to get on the field in 2011, but less so after severely spraining his ankle on Thanksgiving. If all goes according to plan for the Lions, he'll join Jahvid Best (concussions) and Mikel Leshoure (Achilles) in a three-man, rotational backfield. Smith's injury history and the presence of Best and Leshoure greatly curb his fantasy upside in both dynasty and redraft formats.
