Jonnu Smith Downgraded To Out For Week 18
New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (concussion) has been ruled out for the team's Week 18 matchup with the Buffalo Bills. Smith was a limited participant in practice on both Thursday and Friday but has not progressed enough to return to game action following a concussion he suffered in Week 16. Hunter Henry will continue to dominate New England's tight end snaps and target share but should be viewed as just a desperation streaming option this week as the Bills have surrendered the second-fewest PPR fantasy points to the position this season.
Jan 7, 2023 • 7:25 PM | RotoBallerJonnu Smith Questionable Versus Buffalo
New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's critical AFC East matchup against Buffalo. The veteran missed the Pats' previous meeting with the Miami Dolphins. Fortunately, he practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday and Friday, so it appears he's trending in a favorable direction. Smith has had an uneventful year, accumulating 27 catches for 245 yards while also being held out of the end zone. Considering Hunter Henry is available in Week 18, Smith probably won't offer much on the fantasy end, even if he plays.
Jan 7, 2023 • 2:34 AM | RotoBallerJonnu Smith Back At Practice
New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (concussion) returned to practice on Thursday after picking up a DNP on Wednesday. Smith is progressing through the league's concussion protocol, but there's still no guarantee he will be out there in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Buffalo Bills in a must-win game. However, the 27-year-old's return to practice promising for his chances to play this weekend. Smith has once again taken a back seat to Hunter Henry at the tight end position in New England, and he shouldn't be in starting fantasy lineups in DFS or season-long leagues if he's active against Buffalo. He has yet to score this year and has only 27 receptions for 245 yards on 38 targets in his 14 games played.
Jan 5, 2023 • 7:35 PM | RotoBallerJonnu Smith Misses Wednesday's Practice
New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (concussion) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice. The 27-year-old missed last Sunday's game against the Dolphins and hasn't practiced since sustaining a concussion in Week 16. He will need to clear NFL protocols and has two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Bills. Smith has caught 27 passes for 245 yards over 14 games in 2022. Hunter Henry would see an uptick in targets if Smith is ruled out but is mainly an option in deep-league formats against Buffalo, who have allowed the third least fantasy points to the position this season.
Jan 5, 2023 • 3:19 AM | RotoBallerJonnu Smith Won't Play Against The Dolphins
New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (concussion) won't play in Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. He exited the Week 16 loss to the Bengals with a concussion and did not return. The 27-year-old did not clear concussion protocols and will miss his second game of the year. His next chance to return will be Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills. Hunter Henry (knee) is listed as questionable and should see an uptick in targets with Smith ruled out. If active, Henry has a plus matchup against a Dolphins defense that ranks 30th against the position and is tied for the most touchdowns (10) allowed to tight ends in 2022.
Dec 30, 2022 • 9:07 PM | RotoBallerJonnu Smith Absent From Wednesday's Practice
New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday. The 27-year-old sustained a concussion in the Week 16 loss to the Bengals. He will need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol to having a chance to suit up against the Dolphins. Smith has 27 catches for 245 yards across 14 games in 2022. Hunter Henry (knee) suffered a knee injury in Week 16 but was limited in Wednesday's practice. Henry would see an uptick in targets if Smith cannot go against the Dolphins.
Dec 29, 2022 • 2:35 AM | RotoBallerDamien Harris, Jonnu Smith Cleared For Week 7
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) and tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle) have been removed from the injury report. Both players will suit up for Monday Night Football against the Chicago Bears. Harris practiced in full all week long, so it comes as no surprise that he'll play this week. Although Rhamondre Stevenson has emerged as a terrific runner, Harris should still be viewed as an RB3 in fantasy football due to the anticipated backfield split and dynamic. Meanwhile, Smith was limited on Thursday before logging two full sessions. As the clear No. 2 behind Hunter Henry, Smith is an afterthought in fantasy football for the time being.
Oct 23, 2022 • 1:03 AM | RotoBallerJonnu Smith A Full Participant At Practice On Friday
New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle) practiced in full on Friday. As a result, there's a good chance he'll be available for the Monday Night Football meeting with the Chicago Bears. The veteran carried the same designation heading into Week 6 versus Cleveland but managed to suit up. That said, Smith has only nine catches for 119 yards this season while being held without a touchdown, so it's unlikely that many fantasy managers are monitoring his status.
Oct 22, 2022 • 2:35 AM | RotoBallerJakobi Meyers, Jonnu Smith Active For Week 6
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) and tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle) are both active for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. They had been listed as questionable. Meyers has been a bright spot for the Patriots' offense this season, averaging 6.7 catches and 87 yards per game. Even with Bailey Zappe at quarterback, Meyers has asserted himself as a strong fantasy option and should be viewed as a mid-to-low WR2 this week. Meanwhile, Smith has amassed just seven catches for 58 yards through four contests. He should be left on waivers since none of the Patriots' quarterbacks have shown much interest in throwing to the tight ends.
Oct 16, 2022 • 4:25 PM | RotoBallerJonnu Smith Questionable For Week 6
New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. He was inactive for Week 5 against the Detroit Lions due to an ankle injury. The 27-year-old practiced in a limited fashion this week and is trending in the right direction toward suiting up against Cleveland. The former Tennessee Titan has seven catches for 58 yards over four weeks in 2022. If active, Smith is mainly an option in very deep-league formats.
Oct 15, 2022 • 3:42 AM | RotoBallerJonnu Smith Puts In Limited Practice
New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Smith appears to be on the right track to return in a Week 6 contest against the Cleveland Browns after he was inactive in last Sunday's shutout win over the Detroit Lions. He's taken a clear back seat to Hunter Henry in his first four games of the season, though, so he should remain on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues moving forward. Smith has hauled in seven of his 11 targets for 58 yards in the early going. With Smith out last week, Henry had his best game of the year with four catches on five targets for 54 yards.
Oct 13, 2022 • 3:47 AM | RotoBallerMac Jones, Jonnu Smith Officially Out In Week 5
New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) and tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle) are both officially inactive in Week 5 against the Detroit Lions, as expected. Both Jones and Smith came into the game listed as doubtful. Jones will miss his second straight game, and he might miss another in Week 6 after suffering a severe high-ankle sprain in Week 3. With veteran backup Brian Hoyer (concussion) on Injured Reserve, rookie Bailey Zappe will make his first career start this Sunday. He looked good in limited duty in his NFL debut last week, but he'll be a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues in his first career start. With Smith out, Hunter Henry, who has done very little so far this year, will have an expanded role against Detroit.
Oct 9, 2022 • 4:06 PM | RotoBallerJonnu Smith Week-To-Week With Ankle Sprain
New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle), who had tests done on his injured ankle in the last few days, was diagnosed with a low-ankle sprain and is being described as week-to-week, according to a source. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should expect Smith to miss some time, beginning with Week 5 against the Detroit Lions. He didn't see a single target in the Week 4 loss to the Green Bay Packers and has seven receptions on 11 targets for 58 yards through the first four weeks of the season. For however long Smith is out, Hunter Henry should see an increase in targets, although it may not matter much for fantasy purposes if rookie third-string quarterback Bailey Zappe is forced to make his first career start this weekend. Henry has just five catches (nine targets) for 41 yards so far in 2022.
Oct 5, 2022 • 4:21 PM | RotoBallerJonnu Smith Downgraded To Out Against Packers
New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle) won't return to Sunday's matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Smith has only seven catches for 58 yards this season, so it's doubtful the latest update will impact many fantasy managers. Nevertheless, if Smith can't play in Week 5 versus Detroit, Hunter Henry may see an extra target or two, although he has been even less productive this season.
Oct 2, 2022 • 10:38 PM | RotoBallerJonnu Smith Questionable To Return On Sunday
New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Packers. The veteran is dealing with an ankle injury, so it's possible fantasy managers may have seen the last of him for the remainder of Week 4. Smith hasn't done much this season, totaling only seven catches for 58 yards. If he misses time moving forward, it may mean more looks for Hunter Henry, although he has been less productive throughout the 2022-23 campaign.
Oct 2, 2022 • 9:50 PM | RotoBallerJonnu Smith's Contract Restructured
The New England Patriots converted $7.965 million of tight end Jonnu Smith's base salary for this year into a bonus on Friday, creating $5.31 million in 2022 salary cap space, according to a source. Smith was a disappointment in his first year in New England in 2021, catching 28 of his 45 targets for 294 yards and only one touchdown in 16 games (11 starts). The presence of red-zone weapon Hunter Henry will continue to cap Smith's fantasy ceiling as a TE2 in fantasy football, but Smith has looked more comfortable in the offense this summer and the Patriots could look to get him more involved in the passing game. The 27-year-old could improve his numbers from a year ago, but it won't necessarily translate to a ton of fantasy success.
