Fantasy Impact:
He added that Todd Gurley's role "has changed." Smith received just six carries in Week 15 against the Bucs, so he isn't operating as anything close to a feature back right now. The fantasy takeaway from Morris' comments is that this is a true RBBC at the moment, with Brian Hill mixing in as well. Smith is worth rostering as a desperation FLEX for Week 16 against the Chiefs, but none of the Falcons RBs are particularly strong fantasy options for championship weekend.
