The Facts:
Smith, a key part of the Minnesota Vikings' 2-1 start, will miss the next four games serving a suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. His suspension had been on hold pending an appeal, but the league notified Smith on Tuesday he must begin serving the suspension. Smith will be eligible to play again Nov. 8 at Indianapolis.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Smith has run for 198 yards and has a team-high 223 yards receiving and with Michael Bennett now expected to miss two more games, his absence will be all the more difficult to handle. Moe Williams, Mewelde Moore and perhaps even Larry Ned will be very busy at least until Bennett returns.
