Jonnu Smith took over for starter Delanie Walker after Walker's troublesome ankle, which ended his 2018 season, again hampered him. Smith showed himself to be a very capable tight end, producing 12.5 yards per reception and showing off excellent skills after the catch. He only produced 35 receptions, which is too low to make him a fantasy TE1, but it is reasonable to expect him to take another step forward in 2020.
In the 8 games after Walker exited, Smith received 33 targets - and that included a game where he was not targeted. That leads me to assume he will get 4-5 targets per game, which would equate to 65-75 targets over the course of the season. That would still not enable him to be a top-10 option at the position, but it could land him in the top 15. He is also a young, rising player at the position, making him a solid option in dynasty leagues.
Yet, as with many players above, his upside is limited in an offense predicated on the run. If the Titans are not as good this season and find themselves trailing more games, that could lead to more production in the passing game (and a corresponding decrease in rushing production). But that is difficult to bet on with such a solid offensive line, and such an excellent running back.
