Harrison Smith Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith (concussion) will be sidelined for the team's Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Smith suffered a concussion in Week 2's Monday night loss to the Eagles. On a short week, Smith was unable to clear the concussion protocol. The Vikings will hope to have their former All-Pro back for Week 4, but in the meantime, he will be replaced by either Josh Metellus or rookie Lewis Cine. Either way, this is a big loss to Minnesota's secondary and a boost to Jared Goff and his weapons for fantasy this week.

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.
