Player Outlook
Smith is headed to Atlanta this season where he's expected to be the No. 2 tight end behind Kyle Pitts, and he has minimal Fantasy value in that role and is not worth drafting in the majority of leagues. The good news for Smith is he might play a traditional tight end role compared to Pitts, who is more of a receiving threat. That could allow Smith to become a prime target for Desmond Ridder, and the Falcons don't have a deep receiving corps behind Pitts and Drake London. Smith is also being reunited with Arthur Smith, who was the offensive coordinator in Tennessee when Jonnu had some of his best seasons, including 2020 when he averaged 9.3 PPR points per game. But in two years with the Patriots, Jonnu Smith underperformed with 55 catches for 539 yards and one touchdown on 83 targets. Keep an eye on his progress, and if he starts off the season playing well then add him off the waiver wire.

  • Falcons' Jonnu Smith: Ties career high with eight targets

    Rotowire
    Smith caught five of eight targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Lions. After not catching a pass in the season opener, Smith has recorded nine receptions (on 14 targets) for 84 yards over the last two games. The veteran finished second on the team in targets during Sunday's defeat, and his eight chances actually tie a career-high mark, which he's accomplished two other times. Given his recent usage, fantasy managers should keep an eye on Smith moving forward, but the 28-year-old tight end likely still has a limited ceiling in Atlanta's run-heavy offense.

  • Falcons' Jonnu Smith: Busy day in Week 2 win

    Rotowire
    Smith caught four of six targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 25-24 win over the Packers. After getting blanked in the season opener, Smith was more involved in the passing attack versus Green Bay. The tight end tied Bijan Robinson for the second-most receptions on the team and finished fourth in yards. Smith played just two fewer snaps than Kyle Pitts (57), but the former outproduced the latter production-wise. The veteran will presumably get plenty of snaps on a weekly basis, as coach Arthur Smith loves using multiple tight ends, but it's difficult to trust any of Atlanta's pass catchers on a weekly basis.

  • Falcons' Jonnu Smith: Blanked in win

    Rotowire
    Smith played 26 offensive snaps but didn't record a target during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers. Smith got some cardio Sunday, as his only noteworthy play across 26 snaps was a false start. Coach Arthur Smith loves to utilize tight ends, meaning Jonnu should continue to be involved on a weekly basis, albeit as the fifth or sixth pass-catching option in an offense that leans heavily on the run.

  • Falcons' Jonnu Smith: Back at practice

    Rotowire
    Smith (undisclosed) participated in team drills during Wednesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Smith, who had missed time with an unspecified issue, returned to the field Tuesday, per McElhaney, and his increased participation Wednesday has the tight end on track to be able to continue to carve out a complementary role behind top option Kyle Pitts. As long as Pitts is available, Smith may not see steady targets in Atlanta's offense, but the 2017 third-rounder could be a viable streaming option in the event that Pitts misses any time this coming season.

  • Falcons' Jonnu Smith: Should rejoin practice soon

    Rotowire
    Smith has been held out of practice this week with a minor injury but should return soon, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports. Falcons coach Arthur Smith said Wednesday that "at worst" the tight end would return for joint practices with Miami ahead of the two teams' Aug. 11 preseason opener. The Falcons haven't revealed how they plan on deploying Smith in an offense that also has tight end Kyle Pitts, but Atlanta presumably have a significant role in mind for Smith after acquiring the soon-to-be 28-year-old in a trade with New England this offseason. Granted, a significant real-life role is unlikely to equate to fantasy value, unless maybe Pitts misses a chunk of the season again.

  • Falcons' Jonnu Smith: Headed to Falcons

    Rotowire
    The Patriots are slated to trade Smith to the Falcons in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The move frees up cap space for the Patriots, while leaving Hunter Henry as the team's clear-cut top tight end ahead of free agency and the 2023 NFL Draft. Meanwhile, Smith is in line to provide the Falcons with an experienced pass-catching option to work behind starting TE Kyle Pitts. This past season -- his second with New England -- Smith recorded 27 catches on 38 targets for 245 yards in 14 games.

  • Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Logs 27 catches this season

    Rotowire
    Smith (concussion) finished the 2022 season with 27 catches on 38 targets for 245 yards in 14 games. Since signing a four-year, $50,000,000 deal with the Patriots that runs through the 2024 season, Smith's fantasy impact has been modest while working in a tight end time-share that has tilted in favor of Hunter Henry, whose deal with the team goes through 2023. In that context, Smith's weekly lineup utility next season figures to be limited to deeper leagues, though in the event that Henry is sidelined at any point, Smith -- who missed time down the stretch in 2022 due to a concussion -- could yield dividends as a streaming option.

  • Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Downgraded, will not play

    Rotowire
    Smith (concussion) was downgraded and will not play Sunday against the Bills. That's now two consecutive games Smith will miss after suffering a concussion Week 16 against the Bengals. Expect Hunter Henry to see more work with the veteran tight end unavailable. The 28-year-old tallied five receptions and 52 yards in last week's win over the Dolphins with Smith sidelined.

  • Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Questionable for Week 18

    Rotowire
    Smith (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills after practicing in a limited fashion Thursday and Friday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Smith, who didn't play in the team's Week 17 win over the Dolphins, but he'll have a chance to suit up this weekend. If available, Smith would likely work as the No. 2 option behind fellow tight end Hunter Henry, rendering Smith an unreliable fantasy option. In 14 games to date, Smith has caught 27 of his 38 targets for 245 yards and has yet to record a touchdown.

  • Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Returns to limited practice

    Rotowire
    Smith (concussion) returned to a limited practice Thursday. Smith -- who was inactive Week 17 -- didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to Thursday's session suggests that the tight end could be available Sunday against the Bills. Friday's final injury report will provide added context with regard to Smith's availability for the contest.

  • Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Back at practice

    Rotowire
    Smith (concussion) was present for practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Smith didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to the field Thursday suggests that the tight end has a chance to return to action in Sunday's scheduled game against the Bills. The Patriots' upcoming injury report will clarify Smith's official participation level.

  • Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Misses practice Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Smith (concussion) didn't participate in practice Wednesday. Smith didn't play in the Week 17 win over the Dolphins, and his continued absence from practice clouds his status for this Sunday's game against the Bills. If Smith remains sidelined, Hunter Henry would once again be in line to log added snaps and targets as New England's clear-cut top tight end.

  • Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Ruled out vs. Miami

    Rotowire
    Smith (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Dolphins, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports. Fellow tight end Hunter Henry (knee) is listed as questionable, but if Henry's able to suit up, Smith's absence may afford him more playing time against a Dolphins defense that's allowed 10 touchdowns to tight ends, which is tied for the most in the league. Smith's last opportunity to return before the end of the regular season will come in Week 18 against the Bills.

  • Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Not practicing Thursday

    Rotowire
    Smith (concussion) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Smith has one more chance to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but if he's out this weekend, then Hunter Henry would be in line for added tight end snaps for the Patriots, assuming he plays through the knee issue that limited him during Wednesday's practice session.

  • Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Not practicing Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Smith (head) wasn't spotted at Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Meanwhile, Hunter Henry (knee) was present for Wednesday's session. In any case, the statuses of both tight ends will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. If either Smith or Henry are out this weekend, Matt Sokol and Scotty Washington would be candidates to be elevated from the Patriots' practice squad.

  • Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Gets checked for concussion

    Rotowire
    Smith exited Saturday's game against the Bengals with a head injury and is questionable to return, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports. After he was initially evaluated in the blue medical tent on the New England sideline, Smith headed to the locker room to presumably undergo further evaluation for a possible concussion. He's the second Patriots tight end to leave Saturday's contest early, as Hunter Henry was already ruled out for the rest of the game with a knee injury. The 6-foot-5, 217-pound Scotty Washington, who is listed as a receiver but has previous experience at tight end, is likely to fill in as the Patriots' tight end the rest of the way if Smith is unable to return.

  • Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Two catches Sunday

    Rotowire
    Smith caught two of his three targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders. Smith was out-snapped in the contest by Hunter Henry (52-38), per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com , with both players catching two passes versus Las Vegas. As the stretch run approaches, Smith's fantasy upside remains capped, given the Patriots' tight end timeshare.

  • Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Records two catches in Week 13

    Rotowire
    Smith logged 17 of a possible 54 snaps on offense in Thursday's 24-10 loss to the Bills en route to catching both of his targets for six yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Smith, who was out-snapped by fellow tight end Hunter Henry (47 to 17) Thursday, is averaging two catches for 18.2 yards through 11 games thus far. Given that he hasn't scored a TD in that span while working in a time-share with Henry, Smith heads into the Patriots' stretch run with modest fantasy upside.

  • Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Blanked against Vikings

    Rotowire
    Smith went without a target during Thursday's 33-26 loss to the Vikings. Smith played only 16 offensive snaps, matching his lowest total of the season. He was overshadowed by position mate Hunter Henry (three catches for 63 yards and a touchdown), and Smith has now failed to record a reception on three occasions this season. Prior to Thursday's matchup, Smith's involvement on offense appeared to be trending up, as he had tallied at least three catches in each of his last three games.

  • Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Catches three passes Sunday

    Rotowire
    Smith caught three of his four targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts. Smith, who was on the field for 34 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in the contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, has logged three catches and four targets in each of his last two outings, but while working in a timeshare with fellow TE Hunter Henry, the 27-year-old remains a hit-or-miss fantasy option as the Patriots' next contest against the Jets approaches on Sunday, Nov. 20.
