ANALYSIS: Alex Smith returned from his concussion in Week 10 in what should have been a favorable matchup at Carolina, but the results simply weren’t there. He finished a very underwhelming 25-of-38 for 178 yards with an interception and no touchdowns. Things get a bit easier for the Chiefs when they head home in Week 11 to take on the Buccaneers.
Tampa Bay has been on the receiving end of some truly awful outings this year, including allowing 344 yards passing to Matt Ryan and 513 to Derek Carr over the last three weeks. As a result, the Bucs rank 22nd in the NFL with an average of 267.7 yards passing surrendered per game. They also rank fifth in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks with an average of 20.35 per week in standard leagues. The Chiefs playing at home also fares well for Smith— he’s thrown for at least 237 yards and two touchdowns in two of his three games at Arrowhead this year. He should be a popular bye-week fill-in for Week 11.
