The Jonnu Smith signing aligns with the Dolphins' "speed kills" philosophy under head coach Mike McDaniel, emphasizing quickness and athleticism. Smith, a 6'3", 250-pound tight end, showcased his speed with a 4.62-second 40-yard dash at the 2017 NFL Combine and remains one of the fastest tight ends in the league. However, his once-promising career with the Titans has yet to materialize into significant fantasy production. In 2023, Smith set career highs in receptions (50) and yards (582) with the Falcons but only scored three touchdowns, thus failing to make a substantial fantasy impact.
Smith now joins a Dolphins offense that may not be ideally suited to his skill set. The team's top tight end from last season, Durham Smythe, played over 72 percent of offensive snaps but saw only 43 targets, catching 35 passes for 366 yards and zero touchdowns. Smythe was a non-factor in fantasy. This suggests a challenging environment for Smith to excel within.
The Dolphins' offensive system, which led the league in 21 personnel (two running backs, one tight end) usage at a staggering near-42 percent of their 2023 offensive snaps, focuses heavily on their top two wide receivers, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. This leaves limited opportunities for tight ends to be consistent fantasy contributors. Even though Smith is a more capable and dangerous pass-catcher than Smythe, the offensive scheme does not favor tight ends, resulting in limited opportunities for breakout fantasy performances.
Additionally, Smythe's familiarity with the offense likely ensures he will still receive significant playing time, further reducing Smith's potential impact. Given these factors, the Dolphins' tight end group, including Jonnu Smith, is one to avoid for fantasy purposes. The offensive system's design and the presence of Smythe limit the opportunities for tight ends to shine, making it unlikely that Smith will become a reliable fantasy asset in 2024.

 Tyreek Hill battling wrist injury, Questionable for Week 10
Missed practice Friday
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Nov 9, 1:00 pm
|  | McDaniel said Tyreek Hill is managing something that is heating up. Hill is doing everything possible and the Dolphins will see how Hill responds.
"If his body lets him he'll play," McDaniel said.
Hill was not spotted in the portion of practice open to the media Saturday.
Asked if he was optimistic about Hill, McDaniel said: "I'm optimistic that he's going to do everything he can. I wouldn't say I was optimistic or pessimistic." (Palm Beach Post)
FFToday's Take: Hill missed practice Friday and remains Questionable to play Monday night against the Rams. His status puts fantasy owners in a bind as we may not know until Monday whether or not he's going to play. Jaylen Waddle and TE Jonnu Smith would see a bump in value if Hill sits.
