Jonnu Smith Fantasy

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith is not on the team's injury report for their Week 7 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Smith suffered an ankle injury in Week 6 and there was speculation that his status for Week 7 was in jeopardy. Luckily, he's been able to recover quickly. Smith caught five passes four 40 yards and two touchdowns in the last game he completed, Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills. He's a fantastic TE1 option in Week 7 as an integral part to an offense that's been clicking all year.

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith is averaging less than six yards per red-zone catch this year, but he's scored on all five of his red-zone catches (six targets) inside the 10-yard line. Smith has hooked up with quarterback Ryan Tannehill twice for 11 yards and two touchdowns on crossing routes in the red zone, which is tied for the most such touchdowns in the league. The 25-year-old ranks third in fantasy points at his position through six weeks, but he suffered a minor ankle injury in last week's overtime win over the Texans and is questionable for Sunday against the division-rival Steelers. If Smith plays through his injury, fantasy managers may want to temper expectations a bit against a Steelers Defense that is allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends.

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle) is dealing with a "minor" ankle sprain and is expected to be questionable for Week 7 against the Steelers, according to a source. The Titans are going to need all of their offensive weapons in a battle of undefeated squads next Sunday, so Smith's practice status this week will be one to watch closely. Smith left the game in the third quarter in Week 6 and didn't return, which doesn't bode well for his status moving forward. He had just one 13-yard catch before leaving, but he's been a strong TE1 so far this season. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill will already be a QB to fade against Pittsburgh, especially if he's without Smith this weekend. Anthony Firkser and Geoff Swaim are next up on the depth chart if Smith is forced to sit out.
