Alex Smith completed 28 of 35 passes for 368 yards and four touchdowns in Thursday's win over the Patriots. He also had five rushes for three yards.
Fantasy Impact
It was tough to think of a more shocking fantasy performance, as the Chiefs largely ditched their typical conservative play-calling on offense and let Smith loose. He completed two 70-yard-plus touchdown passes, and rarely seemed flustered the entire night. Smith has not suddenly turned into a fantasy stud, so don't get overly excited by the one random game. But the playmaking ability of both Tyreek Hill and Kareem Hunt may open up the offense a bit more than prior seasons, which could make Smith a decent streamer given the right matchup.
