2025 Fantasy Outlook
Smith got rolling in Week 5 last year and never looked back, catching 79 of 98 targets for 806 yards and eight touchdowns over his final 13 games of 2024. Despite having only 78 yards in his first four games, Smith finished fourth among TEs in yards (884), targets (111) and catches (88) while tying for second at the position with eight TDs in a career-best season. Miami’s offense was built around getting the ball out quickly with short passes, and Smith fit the scheme perfectly as an undersized (6-foot-3, 248 pounds) but quick tight end. Speedy WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle and RB De’Von Achane will continue to be bigger priorities for defenses, which makes Smith vulnerable to losing some target volume but also means he'll see plenty of desirable one-on-one matchups. The 29-year-old Smith didn't exceed 582 yards in any of his previous seven NFL seasons (split between three teams), but his 2024 production looks like the case of a late bloomer finding the right situation rather than a flash in the pan.

Wants salary bump, could be traded
The Dolphins have engaged in trade talks with Pittsburgh revolving around Smith, who is seeking a reworked contract after breaking out with a career-best 88 catches, 884 yards and eight scores on 111 targets across 17 regular-season games in 2024, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith, who earned the first Pro Bowl nod of his career in 2024 and set new franchise records at the tight end position for Miami in terms of essentially all pass-catching metrics, is currently heading into the final season of his two-year, $10 million contract with the team and slated for just a $3.49 million base salary in 2025. His involvement on offense came at the expense of star wideouts Tyreek Hill (wrist) and Jaylen Waddle, and was due in part to coach Mike McDaniel's offense uncharacteristically abandoning downfield aggression in favor of short-area targets to Smith and running back De'Von Achane. The Dolphins' willingness to engage in trade talks regarding Smith, even after his productive breakout, could signal a desire for the team to resume primarily featuring Hill and Waddle, though that will only be possible if Tua Tagovailoa (hip) can remain healthier and an O-line that lost LT Terron Armstead to retirement is able to take a step forward. Pittsburgh should be considered a real suitor despite the presence of Pat Freiermuth, given offensive offensive coordinator's fondness for Smith, who he coached in both Tennessee and Atlanta.

Smith took his talents to South Beach in the offseason, signing a two-year contract with the Dolphins. He’ll compete with Durham Smythe for the few touches left over for the tight ends behind wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and running backs Raheem Mostert and De’Von Achane. Smith set career highs in targets (70), catches (50) and receiving yards (582) with the Falcons last season, and his three touchdowns in 2023 tied the second-highest total of his career, behind the eight-TD outlier he produced in his fourth and final season with the Titans back in 2020. Given his expected role in Miami, Smith’s production could look more like his unimpressive first stint in the AFC East, when the journeyman had a combined 539 yards and one touchdown for New England in the 2021 and 2022 campaigns.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No. 3 option for Tagovailoa?
Jake Ciely of The Athletic lists Smith as one of his five breakout candidates at tight end heading into 2024, believing that the tight end should be the third option in the passing game behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
ANALYSIS
Despite playing alongside Kyle Pitts in Atlanta last season, Smith had a career year with 50 catches on 70 targets for 582 yards and three touchdowns. Smith signed a two-year deal with the Dolphins in March, and he is slated to be the top tight end ahead of Durham Smythe. Ciely notes that Smith's athleticism causes matchup problems for linebackers, and with Hill and Waddle sure to command most of the attention from opposing defenses, the eighth-year tight end out of Florida International should see plenty of looks as the third option for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in the passing game.
