FS Smith to start for Packers?: Players don't win NFL jobs during voluntary, non-contact practices in June. That said, it certainly doesn't hurt Anthony Smith's case that he's out there practicing with the Green Bay Packers' first-team defense this spring while both of last year's starting safeties, Nick Collins and Atari Bigby, sit out. And having signed with the Packers in March after three seasons in Pittsburgh, Smith has a leg up on learning the 3-4 defensive alignment new Green Bay defensive coordinator Dom Capers is installing this offseason. Smith has been practicing with the No. 1 defensive unit as Bigby recovers from last season's lingering injuries and Collins, who is believed to be unhappy with his contract, deals with family issues. "He was the furthest ahead of anybody when we started this process," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday. "He looks very natural out there. He's an athletic safety. I can see why people were as high on him as they are, and I think he'll definitely factor in our safety group."

Fantasy Analysis

Smith could wind up landing a prominent role for the Packers in 2009, so he's one to keep an eye on. He'd have to upset Nick Collins (or Atari Bigby) from the starting lineup, though. It helps that he has experience in the 3-4 scheme. He's worth a late-round pick in the deepest of IDP leagues this summer.

S Anthony Smith's chances to start might be slim, but those odds increase the longer Nick Collins chooses to stay away from the team. Collins, coming off a monster season that earned him his first spot in the Pro Bowl, had yet to report for organized team activities. The four weeks of voluntary practices end June 18. Collins has cited family issues for being away most of the offseason, but his latest prolonged absence is believed to stem more from his displeasure that the Packers haven't discussed a contract extension with him. Collins, a fifth-year player, will be entering the final year of his rookie deal. Coupled with Atari Bigby's continuing recovery from late-season ankle surgery, the Packers have been without their two starting safeties in offseason work. "I'm at a new place; obviously, it's a new start," Smith said. "But, I'm glad to have this. It's a great opportunity. (The Packers) already know what I can do. That's why they brought me here. With those (Collins and Bigby) being out, obviously I'm getting a lot more reps with the 1s." 61/1/2009
