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.
Nabs three passes
Smith didn't record a carry but reeled in three of his four targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 30-17 victory versus Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Smith claimed just six total offensive snaps in this contest and has totaled double-digit offensive snaps just once all season. He remains a reliable weapon as a receiver out of the backfield, handling three catches in each of the last three tilts, but he failed to register a carry Sunday for the first time since the season opener versus the Chargers. Smith converted from wide receiver to running back late in his career at SMU, so it shouldn't be shocking that he excels in the receiving department. The rookie primarily remains a speculative hold in dynasty formats at this juncture.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Preparing for versatile role
Smith lined up in the backfield, in the slot and split out wide during spring practices, Adam Teicher of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith played primarily as a wide receiver during his collegiate career, though he switched to running back at SMU for his final year. Despite being a seventh-round pick, Smith could be in for a significant role immediately in Kansas City as the team lacks standout options behind Isiah Pacheco in the backfield. Smith's 196-pound frame isn't built for a traditional workhorse role, but he could get some carries and also play a significant role as a pass catcher.
