Jets' Stone Smartt: Paces team's TEs again

Smartt caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 42-10 loss to the Patriots.

Smartt has stepped up in the absence of Mason Taylor (neck), catching seven of eight targets for 52 yards over the past two games. Prior to this relatively productive stretch, Smartt had just one target all season. Smartt and Jeremy Ruckert could maintain larger roles if Taylor sits out the regular-season finale against the Bills.
