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.

Gets involved in blowout Smith notched 14 carries for 39 yards and hauled in all five targets for 42 yards during Sunday's 31-0 win against the Raiders.

Impact Smith logged more than four totes for the first time in his career Sunday, and he didn't really prove he's worthy of more, averaging just 2.8 yards per carry. The increased workload was likely a direct result of the contest turning into a laugher relatively early; the Chiefs took a 21-0 lead into the halftime locker room and led 31-0 after the third quarter. Isiah Pachco and Kareem Hunt remain squarely ahead of Smith in the pecking order, but Smith's receiving skills do make him a situational asset out of the backfield.

Recovered from illness Smith (illness) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

Impact Smith didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness but was back at full speed the following day. He's a distant third option in Kansas City's backfield behind Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt, contributing primarily as a pass catcher in the few snaps Smith sees. That role is unlikely to change Sunday against the Raiders.

OCTOBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice due to illness Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Smith (illness) will not practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.

Impact Smith didn't record a rush attempt during Kansas City's win over the Lions in Week 6, though he did secure three of four targets for 21 yards. The rookie seventh-round pick has played exactly six offensive snaps in back-to-back games. Smith will still have two more opportunities to get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Raiders, though if he were to miss any time it would likely pave the way for Elijah Mitchell to make his regular-season debut as a reserve backfield option behind Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt.

OCTOBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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 remains primarily a speculative hold in dynasty formats at this juncture.

OCTOBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Four touches in against Jaguars Smith carried the ball once for four yards and caught all three of his targets for 32 yards in Monday's 31-28 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact Smith played just six of the Chiefs 64 offensive snaps Monday, behind both Isiah Pacheco (40) and Kareem Hunt (21). The coaching staff has made an effort to give the rookie more opportunities, though his minimal playing time is limiting his ability to truly make a difference in the stat sheet. It is encouraging, however, that Smith saw four touches in his six snaps, showing that the coaching staff is making an effort to get him involved. The SMU product's playmaking ability and pass-catching skills should continue to earn him more playing time as the season goes on, especially with both Pacheco and Hunt struggling to get much going on the ground. Smith will have his next opportunity to take a step forward in Kansas City's offense when the Chiefs host the Lions in Week 6.

Deisplays 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.

Impact 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-receiver from SMU may claim a slightly larger role on receiving downs moving forward.

Handles two carries against Giants Smith rushed twice for 13 yards and failed to reel in his lone target in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Giants.

Impact Smith played just eight of the Chiefs' 72 offensive snaps, well behind both Isiah Pacheco (40) and Kareem Hunt (32). The rookie running back continues to be mostly an afterthought in Kansas City's struggling offense, however the struggles of both Pacheco and Hunt could eventually lead to more playing time for the dynamic SMU product. At the moment, however, it appears the Chiefs coaching staff want the veterans to handle the majority of the backfield work with a near even split, capping the potential upside of all three backs. Smith will look to get more involved in Week 3 when the Chiefs host the Ravens.
