Smith caught two of six targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Lions.
Smith took a step back after breaking out with five catches and a touchdown Week 2 at Philadelphia. He also had another prominent drop after missing on a long potential touchdown pass that hit him in the hands in that game. Third receiver K.J. Osborn led the way with 73 yards and a touchdown against Detroit, and Smith's role likely will remain inconsistent moving forward in a Minnesota passing game with a lot of mouths to feed.
