In the Kansas City Chiefs’ two wins this season, quarterback Alex Smith has completed 72.8 percent of his passes, thrown at least one touchdown, and averaged 300 yards passing. In the team’s one loss of 2016, Smith only completed 54 percent of his passes and threw for only 186 yards and no touchdowns.

Fantasy Impact: This weekend, Smith gets a pretty favorable matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers and their less than stellar defensive backfield.
Through three games this season, the Steelers’ defense has allowed the third most passing yards in the NFL to their opposing quarterbacks. Pittsburgh’s defense has allowed each of the three quarterbacks they have faced this year to pass for 300 yards or more.
Can Smith be the next signal-caller to have a big day through the air against the black and yellow?
Yahoo! projects the Kansas City quarterback to throw for 244 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against the Steelers on Sunday. Since Smith has averaged almost 280 yards passing during each of his last two games versus Pittsburgh in 2014 and 2015, he definitely has the ability to finish the day with some impressive fantasy numbers.
