Jonnu Smith Fantasy

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill and tight end Jonnu Smith have reportedly been working out together privately at a local park. Smith is coming off a 2019 campaign in which he caught 35 passes for 439 yards and three touchdowns and is a popular pick to breakout this upcoming season as he moves into a larger role with the departure of Delanie Walker. Smith says that he's worked on "building that chemistry" with Tannehill, adding that it will "give us a great advantage." Both Tannehill and Smith are intriguing sleeper picks this year, though Smith is the one who's more likely to pay off, as tight end is a shallower position than quarterback.

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith hauled in a beautiful one-handed touchdown grab in last week's win over the Ravens, showcasing his elite athleticism at the position. That being said, he only has four targets and 21 receiving yards in the playoffs, which is nothing to write home about. The entire offense has taken a backseat to Derrick Henry as the running back has carried the offense in their playoff victories. The Chiefs Defense has not been great at stopping tight ends this year but projecting any kind of significant volume for Smith seems to be a reach as he's only topped four targets four times this season. The Titans being 7.5-point underdogs on the road could mean more passing attempts from Ryan Tannehill, but Smith is still just a touchdown-or-bust, low-owned tournament option at a top-heavy tight end position during Conference Championship Weekend.

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith will remain off the fantasy radar against a Ravens Defense that has ranked first in fantasy points allowed to tight ends since Week 10. Smith's success this season has been touchdown-dependent, only topping 70 yards once and hauling in more than five passes twice. More problematically, he saw two targets last week, while Anthony Fisker saw three and caught a touchdown. In a game where the Titans will want to run the ball often, both tight ends are tough plays while splitting snaps against an elite defense.
