Harrison Smith Fantasy

The Minnesota Vikings activated safety Harrison Smith from the Reserve/COVID-19 list and designated cornerback Patrick Peterson (hamstring) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. It's great news for the Vikings secondary ahead of an important divisional clash with the Green Bay Packers this weekend, although Peterson isn't guaranteed to return in Week 11 after going on IR in mid-October. The 32-year-old Smith will return to being a weekly IDP consideration with 58 total tackles, one sack and a forced fumble this year. Smith missed the Vikings last two games while being on the league's COVID-19 list.

Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith is expected to be back with the team on Wednesday after being placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list last week. He has missed the previous two games since being placed on the COVID-19 list in Week 8. The 32-year-old will be cleared soon and could return to the team as soon as Wednesday. Smith has been one of the top safeties in IDP leagues, racking up 58 tackles, one sack and one forced fumble over seven games in 2021.

The Minnesota Vikings placed safety Harrison Smith on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Sunday morning, and he will not play in Week 9 against the Baltimore Ravens. In a corresponding move, the team elevated Myles Dorn from the practice squad to the active roster. Already shaky on the defensive side of the football, Baltimore's offense could have a field day coming off their Week 8 bye. Wide receivers Marquise Brown and Rashod Bateman could both have big days, as the Vikings also remain without cornerback Patrick Peterson (hamstring) and their top pass-rusher in defensive end Danielle Hunter (pectoral), who is out for the season. Smith, a popular starting safety in IDP leagues, must be removed from all starting lineups.
