Alex Smith (QB, KC) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Later Rounds as 2nd QB / Matchup Streamer

CURRENT ADP: 162 STD, 211 PPR

ANALYSIS: The new and improved Chiefs offense gives Alex Smith a legitimate WR1 in Jeremy Maclin, plus an emerging star receiver and tight end in Travis Kelce. They also have potential impact players in WRs Albert Wilson and Chris Conley. For these reasons alone, Alex Smith can be considered as an "undervalued" fantasy football QB option on draft day, especially for those in deeper leagues.

Smith looked pretty strong down the stretch last year, averaging over 15 fantasy points a game in his final five games played (DNP Week 17). I expect that to continue with the addition of Maclin. Maybe the most appeal Smith has to offer is his relative safety. He almost never throws interceptions, having finished in the top three in INT% three of the past four years.

I do expect a little more aggression from the Chiefs offense this year, which may lead to a slightly higher chance for interceptions, but Smith is still extremely safe. The Texans have a good defense, so Smith's ceiling is limited in Week 1, but he should still be able to put up a respectable game this week. For those who haven't drafted yet, he's a solid option for two-QB league formats, or to target at the end of your one-QB drafts as a second QB and matchup streamer.
