2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kansas City has had success with late-round running backs in recent years, most notably 2022 seventh-round pick Isiah Pacheco, but Smith brings a very different skill set to the table. The SMU product converted from wide receiver in college, giving him real upside as a passing-down option in the NFL, and he impressed at the combine by posting a 4.39 time in the 40-yard dash. Smith could also provide value as a kick returner, but with Pacheco and Kareem Hunt at the top of the depth chart, he could struggle to crack the gameday roster as a rookie. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a four-year, $4.33 million contract with the Chiefs in May of 2025.
Uptick in usage imminent
Smith is poised for more work Sunday at Buffalo with Isiah Pacheco (knee) ruled out for that contest, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Pacheco wasn't able to practice this week due to the right MCL sprain that he sustained during Monday's win against the Commanders. Kareem Hunt is the obvious player to help fill the void in Pacheco's absence, but Smith also should benefit in what has been mostly a two-pronged Chiefs backfield this season. While Smith hasn't been very productive on the ground through the first eight games of his career (25 carries for 75 yards), the rookie seventh-round pick has hauled in 14 of 18 targets for 122 yards. He's also still in search of his first TD as a pro.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Pacheco injury creates opportunity
Smith could take on a larger role Sunday against the Bills in Isiah Pacheco's expected absence, per ESPN's Nate Taylor.
ANALYSIS
Kareem Hunt is expected to lead Kansas City's backfield, but Smith should also slide up a spot to second on the depth chart. Smith got 19 touches in a lopsided Week 7 win over the Raiders but has exceeded four touches in only one other game this season. The rookie seventh-round pick will likely play primarily in passing situations. Pacheco is viewed as week-to-week due to a sprained MCL.
