Irv Smith: Joins Texans' practice squad
Houston signed Irv Smith to its practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.Smith played in 12 games with Cincinnati in 2023, but he wasn't able to stick on a 53-man roster ahead of the 2024 season. Now he'll likely get a chance to make an impression with the Texans, especially with Dalton Schultz dealing with an ankle injury and both Brevin Jordan (knee) and Dalton Keene (knee) on injured reserve.

Irv Smith: Released by Kansas City
Kansas City released Irv Smith on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.The 2019 second-round pick was a healthy scratch for the Bengals by the end of last season and now finds himself unable to earn a spot on Kansas City's initial 53-man roster. Smith is only 26 years old but may struggle to stick around the league as anything more than a practice squad player.

Chiefs' Irv Smith: Impressing at camp
Irv Smith has worked with Kansas City's first-team offense during camp and has been a pleasant surprise for the coaching staff, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.Smith disappointed in 2023, as he wasn't able to take hold of the top spot on Cincinnati's depth chart at tight end and finished with just 18 catches for 115 yards and one touchdown across 12 games. He seems to be making a good first impression in Kansas City, as he's proving to be a reliable target in practices on the occasions he's filled in for Travis Kelce on the first-team offense. He's got a real chance to make the Kansas City Chiefs' 53-man roster and is likely competing with Noah Gray and Jared Wiley for a depth role in the team's tight end room.

Chiefs' Irv Smith: Joining Super Bowl champs
Irv Smith is in line to sign a one-year deal with Kansas City, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Smith was limited to 18 catches on 26 targets for 115 yards and one TD over 12 regular-season games with the Bengals last season, but the 2019 second-rounder does have some bounce-back potential as a pass-catcher. As long as top tight end Travis Kelce is healthy though, Smith doesn't have a path to steady target volume with Kansas City.

Bengals' Irv Smith: Two catches against former team
Irv Smith recorded two catches for 18 yards on three targets in Saturday's 27-24 overtime win over the Vikings.Playing against his former team for the first time, Smith came through with his sixth multi-catch outing of the season, though his overall stat line offered little reason for excitement. Smith saw fewer snaps (17) than both Drew Sample (40) and Tanner Hudson (25), while Mitchell Wilcox (17) tied him. Hudson remains the most interesting tight end of the group for fantasy purposes, but the Cincinnati Bengals' commitment to a four-headed timeshare at the position suppresses the upside of each player.

Bengals' Irv Smith: Two grabs in loss
Irv Smith secured both of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.Smith played just 16 offensive snaps Sunday, his lowest total of the season. The veteran tight end finds himself splitting snaps with Tanner Hudson, Drew Sample and Mitchell Wilcox, so his opportunities to produce on offense are limited. Hudson appears to have emerged as the preferred pass catcher of the bunch, as he earned 21 targets over the past four games. Smith can safely be left out of fantasy lineups when the Cincinnati Bengals visit the Jaguars in Week 13.
