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 contract with the Chiefs in May of 2025.
Displays versatility in Week 4
Smith accrued four rushes for nine yards and reeled in three of four targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 37-20 win against Baltimore.
ANALYSIS
Smith's 19 offensive snaps represent the most he's seen through four games as a rookie, though the blowout nature of the contest certainly played a hand in Smith's increased workload. Three of Smith's four carries occurred in the fourth quarter of Sunday's tilt with the game well in hand. However, the rookie back also logged three catches on four targets. All of those targets came in the first half, suggesting the wideout-turned-running back from SMU may claim a slightly larger role on receiving downs moving forward.

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.
