Chiefs-Saints Trade Idea For Star RB Makes Sense After Latest Report | SI.com

The New Orleans Saints have one of the worst rosters in football this year, so they’re unsuprisingly sitting near the bottom of the league after five weeks. Heading into Week 6, the Saints have another tough matchup with the New England Patriots, which could very easily turn into a fifth loss in six weeks.

As a result, analysts predict the Saints will aggressively sell at the trade deadline and opt to lean into the rebuild.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie Brashard Smith is unlocking another part of his game that’s just as new as playing running back | A to Z Sports

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Brashard Smith is earning praise for a play in Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars that ultimately didn’t count.

Smith had a 63-yard kick return that was called back on a holding penalty, one that was questionable and had no impact on the play, in the third quarter of the Week 5 road loss. Leading up to this point, Smith had shown flashes as a kick returner, but he was still very much a work in progress. Now, Chiefs special teams coach Dave Toub has something tangible to further build upon with Smith.

“Yeah, I mean, I think Brashard Smith keeps getting better and better each week, and it was really good to see,” Toub said. “He hit that return and he was north and south in a hurry. I’m not sure if I’m glad if he didn’t score because it would’ve been even worse. It was a great return nonetheless, and we’re going to build on that and look at the positives.”
