Summary
Ito Smith carries a 7.0 dynasty score, ranking 605 at RB. Smith’s rushing yards per game saw a notable increase in 2025, indicating a promising trend for his production trajectory. With only 1 year remaining on his contract, he faces uncertain role security due to his limited contract years.
Projection Rationale
Smith’s 2025 rushing yards per game of 4.7 indicates his potential for moderate production. With 1 year remaining on his contract, Smith’s role security is a concern due to his limited contract years. As a result, his production trajectory is uncertain. His moderate production grades heading into 2026 for the Cowboys suggest a need for consistent workload to reach his full potential.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025.
Opportunity Notes
The running back role in Dallas is secure with Smith as the primary back. This secure role could provide a foundation for his production.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Klayton Adams coordinates a run-heavy west coast system with a 42.7% run rate and 66.4% of 11 personnel formations. Adams’ scheme is conducive to Smith’s production, as the west coast system emphasizes running the ball.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: RB3-RB4. For Smith to reach this ceiling, he must maintain his rushing yards and secure a consistent workload. Floor: RB7-RB8.
