2025 Fantasy Outlook
Year 2 for the Florida A&M product saw Smith finally break out of the practice squad, landing a role as the Rams' return man. He accumulated a solid 333 combined yards of return yardage, four rushes for 36 yards and a pair of catches for six yards in 17 games, including playoffs. A sudden breakout into the starting lineup seems unlikely for the 27-year-old, however, and his value for the Rams will continue to stem from his contributions as a return man while securing a handful of snaps on offense per game.

RANKS
Season-high two catches
Smith caught two of three targets for 15 yards, returned three punts for 17 yards and returned one kick for 32 yards during Sunday's 35-7 win against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Pressed into duty with Puka Nacua (ankle) out and Tutu Atwell limited to just a handful of snaps, the second-year pro tripled his catch total on the season with his pair of snags. Smith also was on the field for nearly half of the snaps on offense for the Rams, although he didn't manage to catch any of Matthew Stafford's five touchdown passes on the day. Smith will look to ride the momentum from his increased usage after the Rams' bye in Week 8, when the Saints come to town Week 9.
