2025 Fantasy Outlook
Smythe joins the Bears as a blocking tight end and depth option behind Cole Kmet and rookie first-rounder Colston Loveland. Turning 30 in August, Smythe is unlikely to draw regular targets. He's averaged 18.9 receptions per year across seven seasons and topped out at 366 yards in a single campaign. Even if injuries occur, Smythe's value lies in his run-blocking ability, not fantasy production. He's not draftable in any standard or PPR formats entering 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Bears in March of 2025.
Active Sunday
Smythe (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Smythe has yet to receive a target this season through eight games and his role in Sunday's contest will likely be a limited one as an additional blocker. The bulk of passing attempts to the tight end position will likely be absorbed by starters Cole Kmet and Colston Loveland.

2018
Smythe was Miami’s clear No. 1 tight end in 2023, but that role didn’t translate to much production. He set a career high with 366 yards but didn’t get into the end zone, as the Dolphins ran their quick-strike offense through wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, as well as running backs Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane. Smythe has just three touchdowns in 95 NFL games, and while his blocking skills will likely keep him on the field, his already small slice of the pass-catching pie will likely shrink even further after Miami signed fellow tight end Jonnu Smith to a two-year deal in the offseason.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be done in Miami
Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald believes the Dolphins will release Smythe in the offseason rather than bringing him back at a $3.1 million salary in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Smythe was Miami's top tight end in 2023 but was thoroughly outplayed by Jonnu Smith in 2024. Jackson thinks the Dolphins will roll with Julian Hill as a cheap backup to Smith, with bolstering the position in the draft also an option, while shedding Smythe's cap hit will be critical, with Miami already $12 million over the salary cap.
