Alex Smith receives vote of confidence from Chiefs' GM
Chiefs GM Brett Veach insisted Saturday that Alex Smith is the team's clear choice under center.
First-round pick Patrick Mahomes has turned some heads this preseason, but the Chiefs remain committed to developing the Texas Tech product slowly. "There is no gray area," said Veach. "Alex is so far advanced from the mental side of things in regard to his ability to read coverages, to shift us out of plays and really play the chess game. He’s so far ahead of where Pat is. I don’t think it’s even close right now."
Smith is the 25th-ranked fantasy quarterback in our projections entering the season. We expect him to throw for 3,527.90 yards with 20.08 touchdowns and 13.66 interceptions in 2017, with another 152.94 rushing yards and 2.18 touchdowns on the ground.
