Brashard Smith - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Minimal involvement against Titans Smith caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Titans.

Impact Smith failed to record a single carry in the contest while the Chiefs' offense attempted just 15 rushes against the Titans. The rookie played just eight of Kansas City's 45 offensive snaps Sunday, failing to play double-digit snaps for the tenth time this season. With such limited usage, Smith remains far off the fantasy radar as the Chiefs get set to host the Broncos in Week 17.

Minimal impact versus Chargers Smith compiled two rushes for one yard during Sunday's 16-13 defeat to the Chargers.

Impact Smith once again played third wheel to Kareem Hunt (30 snaps) and Isiah Pacheco (28 snaps) in the backfield, logging just four snaps in a game that saw the Chiefs both get eliminated from playoff contention and lose star quarterback Patrick Mahomes to a torn ACL. With little left to play for the rest of the way, it's not impossible Smith could see a few more touches down the stretch if the coaching staff wants to see what it has in its 2025 seventh-round selection, but Hunt and Pacheco should continue to lead the way.

Totals one touch in Week 14 Smith recorded one rush for seven yards during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Texans.

Impact While the final score was a 10-point Chiefs loss, the contest remained close enough throughout that KC didn't need to abandon the run until the very end. Thus, Smith saw limited usage, notching just five offensive snaps in the contest. While he continues to be featured a bit as a kick returner, Smith has just one offensive touch to his name in the last two weeks, and there's little to suggest that will change as long as Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt stay healthy.

Phased out of offense Smith returned one kickoff for 33 yards during the Chiefs' 31-28 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

Impact Smith played just five snaps and didn't see a touch on offense following Isiah Pacheco's return from a three-game absence due to a knee injury. Smith figures to see seldom use on offense in games where Pacheco and Kareem Hunt are both active, though Smith should continue to see work on kickoffs as a returner.

Makes impact as receiver Smith tallied one rush for five yards and hauled in three of four targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 23-20 overtime win against the Colts.

Impact Smith remains a pass-catching option out of the backfield, akin to Jerrick McKinnon in previous seasons, but he doesn't quite sport the same kind of upside just yet. Smith has made an impact as a receiver through 11 games, notching 19 grabs for 161 yards. However, he's averaged just 3.0 yards per carry on his 29 totes and firmly remains third in the backfield pecking order behind Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt. As long as that duo remains healthy, Smith figures to remain a periphery piece for the Chiefs.

Limited role against Broncos Smith caught two of three targets for eight yards and failed to record a single rushing attempt in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Smith continued his role as the de facto No. 2 running back in Week 11 with Isiah Pacheco (knee) sidelined, but he was not a major part of the Chiefs' offensive plans in the contest. The rookie played 12 of the Kansas City's 70 offensive snaps, while teammate Kareem Hunt dominated the backfield snap share with 56 snaps. Week 11 marked just the third time this season that Smith did not handle a single carry. Despite the Chiefs praising the SMU product for his playmaking ability earlier in the season, the team has not seemed committed to using him more in Pacheco's absence. Smith remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, even if Pacheco remains sidelined for a Week 12 matchup against the Colts.

Limited to three carries on SNF Smith rushed three times for seven yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Bills.

Impact Smith failed to capitalize on the absence of Isiah Pacheco (knee), finishing the primetime loss with just three total touches. Kareem Hunt (11-49-1) finished as the only fantasy-relevant back Kansas City would produce for fantasy managers Sunday. With a bye week upcoming, Smith could find himself back in the No. 3 spot on the depth chart if Pacheco is ready to return for a Nov. 16 matchup against the Broncos.

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.

Impact 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.

Trio of carries Monday night Smith accrued three rushes for eight yards during Monday's 28-7 win against the Commanders.

Impact Smith remains a depth back for the Chiefs, but his lack of involvement as a receiver out of the backfield is a bit disappointing. Monday's effort marks the first time since Week 1 that Smith wasn't targeted and the first time since Week 3 that he didn't record a reception. The rookie back played just nine offensive snaps Monday but could see a bit more run should Isiah Pacheco's MCL injury cost him some time.
