Smythe caught one pass for two yards on one target in the Bears' 28-21 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Smythe has three receptions this season, all coming over his last four contests and totaling 14 yards. His primary usage as a blocker and third tight-end role keep him as a non-factor in fantasy lineups.

Smythe caught one pass for four yards on one target in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday. Smythe primarily has been used as a blocker this season and his firsts reception came in the last two games despite regular snap involvement. His low route volume and limited targets keep him off the fantasy radar outside of the deepest leagues.

Smythe caught one pass for eight yards on three targets in the Bears' 19-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday. Smythe recorded his first catch of the season after playing at least 20 snaps in five of his previous seven games. Used primarily as an inline blocker, he's run more than six routes only once all year, keeping him off the fantasy radar outside of the deepest of leagues.

Smythe (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants. Smythe has yet to receive a target this season through eight games and his role in Sunday's contest will likely be a limited one as an additional blocker. The bulk of passing attempts to the tight end position will likely be absorbed by starters Cole Kmet and Colston Loveland.

Smythe is signing a one-year contract with the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The Dolphins took Smythe in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft and then kept him on their roster (mostly as a blocker) until releasing him three weeks ago. He'll turn 30 in August and isn't likely to see many passes as the presumed No. 2 tight end behind long-time starter Cole Kmet. This signing is more about Chicago's running game than the passing attack, continuing an offseason makeover that's already seen the team hire a new head coach (Ben Johnson) and acquire two new guards (Jonah Jackson, Joe Thuney).
