• Dolphins' Jonnu Smith: Leading receiver on 12 targets

  01/06/2025 • By RotoWire

  Smith had nine receptions on 12 targets for 56 yards and a touchdown with a lost fumble in Sunday's 32-20 loss to the Jets. Smith finished as the Dolphins' leading receiver across the board off of a season-high 12 targets. Despite losing one of Miami's two fumbles in the loss, the veteran tight end put a nice bow on a career year, scoring his eighth touchdown in his first season playing for the Dolphins. The eight scores tied his previous high-water mark from 2020, but he set new bests in receptions (88) and receiving yards (884) in 17 games. Smith's late-career resurgence has put the tight end on the map as a plus fantasy option after years of mediocrity.

• Dolphins' Jonnu Smith: TEs to Start

  01/02/2025 • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Smith didn't have a great game at Cleveland in Week 17 with three catches for 26 yards on four targets, but he scored a touchdown to finish with 11.6 PPR points. He's now scored at least that many PPR points in seven games in a row, including Week 14 against the Jets when he caught three passes for 44 yards and a touchdown, all in overtime. The Jets have now allowed four tight ends to score at least 8.1 PPR points in their past five games, with three touchdowns, and I like Smith as a top-10 Fantasy tight end in all leagues, even if Tyler Huntley starts again in place of Tua Tagovailoa (hip).

  12/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  Smith had three receptions on four targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-3 win over Cleveland. Smith continued his second-half surge with another strong fantasy effort Sunday. The veteran tight end inched closer to his career high of eight touchdown receptions (which he set in 2020) while padding an already impressive 79-828-7 receiving line in his first season with Miami. Smith remains a high-end play heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Jets next Sunday.

  12/24/2024 • By Heath Cummings

  Five of my top nine tight ends this week are not on the main slate. But number two by production and number one by value is there, that's Jonnu Smith. Smith has already set the Dolphins' record for catches by a tight end with 76, but he still has an outside shot at hirs first 1,000-yard season. He has at least 12 PPR Fantasy points in six straight games.

  Smith pulled in all six of his targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 29-17 win over San Francisco. Smith put together another solid fantasy line Sunday, especially for those in PPR formats. More notably, the 28-year-old set new single-season franchise records in receptions (76) and receiving yards (802) from the tight end position in his first season with the Dolphins, per Adam Beasley of Pro Football Network. Smith has been a revelation for both Miami and fantasy managers in 2024, making him a strong play against the Browns next Sunday.
