Through thick-and-thin last season, Brashard Smith was a pet props project of ours over at THE WINDOW, as a quasi-gadget player out of the Chiefs' backfield, capable of turning a few touches into big plays. Before Mahomes' injury, Smith had at least three touches in a six-of-seven game stretch. In this second season, more should be on Smith's plate for an offense that he was added to late in the 2025 draft because it has lacked explosiveness.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Smith positioned for increased touches in Chiefs' offense seeking explosiveness.

Brashard Smith is positioned as a player prop target with over 12.5 rushing and receiving yards in Week 1. The source notes Smith was a consistent pet project through the 2025 season as a quasi-gadget player out of the Chiefs' backfield capable of turning limited touches into big plays; before Mahomes' injury, Smith had at least three touches in six of seven games. With the Chiefs' offense lacking explosiveness and Smith added late in the 2025 draft, more touches are expected in his second season.
