Jimmy Smith Fantasy

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith is among the inactive players for Week 1's contest versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Smith has been dealing with an ankle injury and will take another week to rest up. The Ravens have also declared defensive end Derek Wolfe, safety Ar'Darius Washington, linebacker Daelin Hayes and guard Ben Cleveland inactive. The Ravens secondary will be down Smith and cornerback Marcus Peters (knee) this evening and it will be interesting to see if the Raiders can take advantage.

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith (ankle) has been listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's game against the Raiders. Smith practiced in full on Thursday but was limited on Friday. Baltimore continues to fall victim to injury on both sides of the football and, as a result, could enter Week 1 with a subpar secondary. The team lost Marcus Peters to an ACL injury earlier this week and now might be without Smith. The latter appeared in 11 games last year, amassing 27 tackles while defending one pass.

The Baltimore Ravens and veteran cornerback Jimmy Smith agreed to a one-year contract extension on Thursday worth up to $5 million, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. He'll receive a $500,000 signing bonus, $2 million in base salary and $2.5 million in playing-time incentives, which he's considered unlikely to earn, making the deal salary cap-friendly. Smith was set to become a free agent after this season. The 32-year-old defensive back has played in 11 games this year due to various injuries, racking up 27 combined tackles and a fumble recovery in his five starts. Smith has never been a lockdown cornerback in the league, but he's a great leader and will continue to be a key piece of a strong Ravens Defense for another season in 2021. Against the division-rival Bengals and backup quarterback Brandon Allen to close out the regular season this Sunday, Baltimore's defense should be considered a top-three fantasy unit.
