Sharp take

Sharp SixNo action

Smith is rostered in 4% of leagues and carries a 26.3-point season projection, so this is a roster move for Kansas City and nobody else. He put up a zero in Week 6 and sits at sharp rank 292, which is a polite way of saying he was never in your lineup. The Chiefs are 3-point underdogs in a 42.5-point game, so there is no backfield windfall worth chasing here either. Drop him if he is somehow occupying a bench spot. Otherwise this never involved you.
