Smartt caught all three of his targets for 37 yards in the 34-27 win over the Broncos on Thursday. Hayden Hurst returned off injured reserve after missing the past five weeks due to a hip injury, but the veteran played only eight snaps, hardly carving into Smartt's playing time. In addition, Will Dissly appears closer to returning after missing the past two games due to a shoulder injury, which would also relegate Smartt to at minimum the No. 2 spot in the tight end rotation come Week 16. Given the compiling playing time factors, Smartt's run as a productive fantasy option could be coming to a close.

Smartt is worth using as a low-end No. 1 option in Week 16 against the Broncos. He has scored at least eight PPR points in each of his past two games, and he had five catches for 50 yards on six targets in Week 15 against Tampa Bay in the first outing without Will Dissly. Dissly (shoulder) is expected to miss Week 16 again, and the Broncos have allowed two tight ends in the past five games to score at least 20.4 PPR points.

Unlike Strange, I don't view Smartt as a top-12 option. I don't like the matchup as much against Denver and Smartt only saw six targets last week. Still, I would start him over Kyle Pitts or Cole Kmet and he's my second-favorite streaming option.

Smartt has scored at least eight PPR points in each of his past two games, and he had five catches for 50 yards on six targets in Week 15 against Tampa Bay in the first outing without Will Dissly. Dissly (shoulder) is expected to miss Week 16 against Denver on Thursday night, and Smartt is worth using as a low-end starter in all leagues. The Broncos have allowed two tight ends in the past five games to score at least 20.4 PPR points, and hopefully, Smartt will continue to be a go-to option for Justin Herbert in Week 16.

Smartt pulled in five of six targets for 50 receiving yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 40-17 loss to Tampa Bay. Smartt continued to operate as the Chargers' top tight end sans veteran starter Will Dissly (shoulder). The third-year man fell just eight yards short of the team lead in receiving behind Ladd McConkey (5-58-1). Smartt did cough up the first fumble of his career in the lopsided loss, putting a damper on an otherwise fine fantasy showing. With Dissly expected to miss multiple weeks, Smartt could be a bargain at the tight end position in Week 16.
