The Kansas City Chiefs will visit the Dallas Cowboys in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Brashard Smith.
Is Brashard Smith Playing in Week 13?
Smith is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Chiefs’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Smith in Week 13?
In my head, Brashard Smith fits a niche role in this offense. He caught three more passes on Sunday in the win over the Colts, the fifth time in eight games he’s hit that mark, but with him functioning as a misaligned receiver, there’s really not a path to mattering in redraft leagues.
Week 12 Running Back Data
- Kareem Hunt: 72.5% snap share, 33 touches
- Smith: 19.8% snap share, 4 touches
- Clyde Edwards-Helaire: 15.4% snap share. 7 touches
Smith has four carries over the past three weeks and has been unable to take advantage of the Isiah Pacheco absence. The rookie’s role is more likely to trend backwards than forwards as the season comes to a conclusion and that makes him expendable in most situations.
