Jonnu Smith Fantasy

Former Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith reached an agreement with the New England Patriots on Monday on a four-year, $50 million deal, according to Smith's agent, Drew Rosenhaus. The deal includes $31.25 million fully guaranteed. The $12.5 million per-year average places Smith third among tight ends behind only George Kittle and Travis Kelce. The guaranteed money is tops at the position. Smith had 114 catches for 1,302 yards and 16 touchdowns in his four seasons with the Titans and has averaged 6.8 yards after the catch in his career. He's an immediate upgrade for quarterback Cam Newton at a position that New England has struggled at since Rob Gronkowski left. The 25-year-old Smith should be one of the team's top pass-catchers in his new home, making him a no-doubt TE1 target in 2021 fantasy drafts.

Tight end Jonnu Smith is on track toward becoming a free agent after the Tennessee Titans did not place their franchise tag on him Tuesday. Smith started 53 of the 60 games that he has appeared in with Tennessee since 2017, having racked up 16 receiving touchdowns, eight of which came this past year, setting a new career high. Across the board, 2020 was the most productive of Smith's career, which bodes well for his prospects on the open market, where he'll be joined by former Chargers tight end Hunter Henry. Should the Titans and Smith ultimately not come to a new deal, Tennessee will have to re-evaluate it's TE depth as Anthony Firkser is set to become a restricted free agent, while MyCole Pruitt is also set for the open market.

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith hauled in his eighth receiving touchdown of the season last week, and Tennessee's top tight end will look to add to that career-high total in Week 17 against a Texans Defense that has allowed six touchdowns to tight ends this. It's a very exploitable matchup, but the game could be funneled through Derrick Henry and A.J. Brown. Still, with the Titans playing for the AFC South title, Smith will be one of the top tight ends plays for Week 17.
