Should You Start or Sit Jonnu Smith in Week 14?
Smith is tied for fourth at the position in PPR points per game since Tua returned to the field. That’s even more impressive when you consider that he averages more fantasy points per target over that stretch than the names ahead of him on the scoring leaderboard.
The veteran has posted an on-field target share north of 20% in five straight games, vacuuming in at least six looks in seven of his past eight games. There was certainly some garbage time on Thanksgiving, but the fact remains that Smith is a chain mover — of his 25 catches over his past three games (301 yards and three scores), 19 have picked up a first down.
Smith doesn’t have the per-target upside of Miami’s receivers, but his role appears to be as safe as any pass catcher in this offense, and that lands him inside of my start-every-week tier at the position.
