The Facts:
Currently fulfilling a yearlong suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy, Smith is eligible for reinstatement next month and Zygi Wilf said the Vikings could be inclined to give him another opportunity. "The way this coaching staff responds to players, this would be the right environment for him to move his career forward," Wilf said. "But all that's subject to his reinstatement."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Wilf also said it would be important for the Vikings to feel comfortable with Smith, both mentally and physically, before inviting him back to the team. Smith has more career touchdowns (nine) than Moore (four) and Taylor (seven). But new OC Darrell Bevell said he is comfortable with his backfield depth as is currently stands. "If we had to go to battle tomorrow, we'd be ready," Bevell said, mentioning starter Chester Taylor, Mewelde Moore, Ciatrick Fason and Adimchinobe Echemandu.
