Jonnu Smith Fantasy Football Outlook (ROS)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Mon, Nov 25th 2024, 9:00pm EST

Tight end Jonnu Smith was a key weapon, catching nine of 11 targets (28% target share) for 87 yards and a touchdown. His 61 yards after the catch underscored his ability to create after the catch.
He had NINE targets in the first half alone in addition to four red-zone targets.
Smith has been the team's Target share leader for the last FOUR weeks. Considering the usage, it's not surprising that he is producing, but to this extent is the most shocking part. And as pumped as I am for Waddle hitting against the Patriots, it was the perfect storm. The matchup was fantastic. I'm not as optimistic moving forward because the reasons why Waddle wasn't great for many previous weeks are still present i.e. Smith and Achane. Those guys are going to get more targets in games against better defenses. If I could sell high on Waddle after this game, I would.
Keep in mind in Waddle's best game of the season, Smith still out targeted him.
