Smith-Marsette caught all three of his targets for 43 yards and rushed once for eight yards in Friday night's 28-25 preseason loss to the Chiefs.
Smith-Marsette also fielded kicks, gaining 76 yards from his three kickoff returns. Although the rookie featured with Minnesota's first-team offense, none of his receptions came with starting quarterback Kirk Cousins in the game. Nonetheless, in tying for the lead in catches and placing second on the Vikings in receiving yards, Smith-Marsette again put forth a good effort as he aims to earn snaps behind Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen. Despite the fact his team hasn't incorporated three wideouts much in recent years, it'll be interesting to see how Smith-Marsette is utilized in his first season, which starts with a Week 1 matchup versus the Bengals.
