Jonnu Smith

He has a good matchup against New England and has been getting more snaps and even scored last week, so he could be a good start at tight end. But his snaps are split with Pat Freiermuth and Aaron Rodgers’ health matters, so he’s useful but a bit risky rather than a sure thing.

Smith got lots of targets and a touchdown in Week 1, so he’s worth starting in deeper leagues or when you need a tight end to score right away, especially versus teams like Seattle. But Pittsburgh will split work with Pat Freiermuth, so he can be hit-or-miss — keep him on the bench if you already have a reliable starter and only play him when the matchup looks good.

His big numbers last year were mostly from unusual usage, and moving to Pittsburgh will likely cut into his role behind Pat Freiermuth. If you need a tight end, pick him up cheaply as a backup, but don’t count on him as your starter — watch how much he actually plays early in the season before trusting him in your lineup.

Draft him only in the late rounds as a long shot — don’t make him your starting tight end because his role behind Pat Freiermuth is unclear. He’s fine to stash on the bench in big leagues, but he might also end up doing very little.
