Leading tackler in loss Smith recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) in Tuesday's loss to the Ravens.
Impact As expected, Baltimore attacked a weak Dallas run defense all night and racked up a massive 294 rushing yards, creating IDP value for Smith even if his efforts didn't do much to influence the final outcome. The linebacker could be busy again in Week 14's clash with a Bengals team hoping to get Joe Mixon (foot) back in the lineup.

Grabs first INT of season Smith recorded five tackles (one solo) and an interception in Thursday's loss to Washington.
Impact While he set a new season low in tackles -- and registered his fourth straight game in single digits -- Smith salvaged his IDP value on the afternoon with his first pick of the year. He nearly returned it for a touchdown but got tackled short of the goal line after being caught from behind by Terry McLaurin. Smith has already topped 100 tackles for the third straight campaign, and he could be busy in Week 13's road tilt against a Ravens offense that typically features a ground-heavy game plan.
