The Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1) will host the Minnesota Vikings (2-1) in Week 4. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Jonnu Smith.

Should You Start or Sit Jonnu Smith in Week 4?
Jonnu Smith has caught 92.3% of his targets, and that sounds great as he is coming off a league-winning type of season.
That crazy efficiency has netted 65 yards, and the only reason there is a touchdown on the board is because Aaron Rodgers called one of those near-forward-handoff jet-sweep type of plays inside the 10-yard line back in Week 1.
Smith was great last season.
Smith is not worth consideration this season.
Both things can be, and are in my opinion, true. He and Pat Freiermuth have six cumulative games played this season and one finish better than TE25 through three weeks. If you told me that one of them took over the role full-time, I’m still not positive we are looking at a locked-in starter, and that is why I’m fine with both being on waiver wires.
