Roquan Smith: knee keeps Ravens linebacker out Wednesday

THE FACT. Smith was not on the field at the start of Wednesday's Ravens practice, per Ryan Mink of baltimoreravens.com, who noted Smith briefly left Sunday's game against Cincinnati in the fourth quarter with a knee injury before returning. NBC Sports also listed him as not practicing Wednesday.

THE VERDICT. Returning to the Bengals game argues against anything structural, but a Wednesday absence still matters for a tackle-volume linebacker. IDP: hold and do not drop, but line up a replacement in case he sits at Buffalo. Redraft: this thins Baltimore's run defense, so Buffalo backs get a small bump. DFS: upgrade the Bills rushing attack if Smith is ruled out.
