This kid could be a real sleeper towards the end of the season ..

Yep. I have PTSD from someone picking up McKinnon a few years ago and destroying me with three TDs in the playoffs. I want to be ahead of the curve this year.

He was a decent enough runner in college, put up numbers. I see him as a 5-10 rush attempt player and 6-7 pass catches per game in the NFL. If he carves out that role for the Chiefs this year, he’ll be valuable for fantasy.

He’s more like McKinnon but 10 pounds lighter.

I felt lucky to get virtually for free via FA when he was a final roster cut. I assume due to his size and role that suggests. Size concerns led me to underestimate other recent RBs who became very productive NFL RBs.

Also note Andy's history with smaller backs. He's had a few great ones.
My head is spinning.
This is just a "pick up any RB on any kind of news" type of day:
ESPN’s Dan Graziano reports that Chiefs RB Brashard Smith is expected to have “more involvement in the offense” moving forward.
Smith logged 19 offensive snaps last week, hitting the double-digit mark for the first time this season. He likewise hit season highs in carries (four) and targets (four). Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt are playing very inefficiently and Smith’s pass-catching profile fits well with the Chiefs’ preferred offensive approach. His chance to establish himself as the Chiefs’ committee leader, or more, appears to be upon us. Seventh-round rookies cannot be viewed as guaranteed to succeed, but he is absolutely worth adding wherever available right now, before we find out if Smith has what it takes.

Seriously. I don’t have the roster space. I have one team starting Marks and Dowdle. With Carter, Kendre, and Tuten in the wings.

I just can’t get on board with him being much more than a spot receiving threat.

Problem is he needs to jump Pacheco and Hunt to have real value. Without an injury what are the chances that he flips the script that much? They have Rice coming back, worthy healthy…they don’t need to take risks.
They’ll spread it around. They don’t care about fantasy.
Had him and dropped him for Carter.

The key to their season is getting this guy involved in the offense and be a legit weapon.

I don't believe the Chiefs drafted Smith to be anything but a receiving weapon with a few runs sprinkled in. Reid recently mentioned something to the effect they don't want Smith running it up in there much (I'm assuming due to his size). That's not his NFL skill set, anyway.
Smith will almost for certain be more valuable to KC as opposed to his FF owners.
