Kansas City Chiefs running back Brashard Smith continues to be a part of the Chiefs' backfield rotation, but he had a disappointing showing in Week 9 against the Bills. He had three carries for seven yards and couldn't haul in his only target. The converted receiver was drafted by the Chiefs in the seventh round, and he has played a significant role behind Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco (knee) in some game scripts. In Week 9, though, even with Pacheco out, he couldn't get much going, while Hunt dominated touches and production. With the Chiefs headed to a bye week, Smith is worth holding or picking up from the waiver wire in deep leagues since he does still have upside down the road. However, in most standard leagues, better backfield options are available in other timeshare situations. Smith is definitely worth monitoring as a playmaker in the Chiefs' potent offense, but his role will be limited if Pacheco is ready to return in Week 11.

With backfield mate Isiah Pacheco (knee) inactive for Week 9's 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt led the team's ground game. The veteran tied a season-high with 49 rushing yards on 11 totes, adding six yards on 1-of-2 receiving. Hunt punched in another short touchdown in this one, giving him three across his last two appearances and six on the season as a whole. While his efficiency hasn't been off the charts, the Toledo product has rushed for at least 4.4 yards per clip in four of his previous five games. Furthermore, he's the most likely option on his team aside from quarterback Patrick Mahomes to find pay dirt on the ground. Pacheco is expected to return following Kansas City's Week 10 bye. However, Hunt projects to lead the backfield again if he doesn't. It will be a situation to keep tabs on over the coming week.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice led the team in receiving on Sunday and also found the end zone for the third straight game, this time on the ground. In KC's 28-21 loss on the road to the Buffalo Bills in Week 9, Rice led the team in catches (four), targets (seven), and receiving yards (80) while also carrying the ball twice for six yards and his first rushing touchdown of the year. The 25-year-old continues to be the Chiefs' top offensive weapon despite making his season debut on Oct. 19 in the blowout win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Rice has now scored in all three of his games and has at least 80 receiving yards in two of his three games. In his season debut against the Raiders, the former second-rounder had only 42 receiving yards but found the end zone twice. Rice and the Chiefs will now head into their bye before a big divisional clash in Week 11 versus the Denver Broncos.

The Kansas City Chiefs intend to split carries between running backs Kareem Hunt and Brashard Smith on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Kansas City will be without Isiah Pacheco (knee) this week, and it looks as if the team will employ a committee approach in his absence. Hunt has had consistent touchdown potential for the Chiefs, scoring four times in the past six games, but he has yet to play to half the team's snaps in a game this season. Smith had a nice game in the Week 7 blowout of Las Vegas, catching five passes for 42 yards to go with 39 yards rushing, but hasn't been super involved week to week. A split isn't ideal for managers, but both backs still could be viable in lineups this week.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (knee) is expected to return in Week 11, following the team's bye, according to head coach Andy Reid (via CBS Sports' Tracy Wolfson). Pacheco has already been ruled out for Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills, and he'll use the bye week as a little extra time to rest and recover. In the meantime, Kansas City's backfield will be led by Kareem Hunt, while rookie Brashard Smith also figures to get involved. Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Elijah Mitchell round out the running back depth chart. Pacheco should rank as a high-end RB3/flex against the Broncos when he returns.
