Should You Start or Sit Jonnu Smith in Week 15?
If last week from Smith wasn’t the embodiment of the tight end position, I don’t know what is.
The veteran tight end didn’t have a single reception during regulation against the Jets and was a non-factor for over three hours of real-time. After struggling to find any room to operate through four quarters, Smith dominated the overtime period with three catches on eight Miami plays as they kept their playoff hopes alive courtesy of, you guessed it, a 10-yard Smith score.
The veteran tight end has cleared 13 PPR points in four straight games for the first time in his career and has proven capable of earning consistent looks in an offense that has scored 30+ points in three of their past four.
Do I worry that there is a floor to consider here with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle both getting on track last week? I do, but his usage in scoring situations for an underdog with an implied point total of over 20 points is enough for him to crack my top 10 this week and for the remainder of the fantasy season.
