News

  • Minor role

    Smith caught only 18 passes (on 21 targets) for 112 yards in 15 games in 2020.

    Analysis: He was stuck behind Evan Engram, who stayed healthy for the first time in his career. Engram, despite his many disastrous gaffes, is still under contract for 2021, so Smith is likely looking at a backup role again.

  • Untargeted against Ravens

    Smith did not receive a target during Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Smith has dealt with an illness and a knee issue over the past month, but he remains with only one game absence on the season. Though the tight end has inherited a workload of 30 offensive snaps per contest in 2020, it hasn't translated to significant production in the passing game. Smith's most notable fantasy outing of the year arrived via a three-catch, 15-yard performance Week 6 against Washington.

  • In Week 15 lineup

    Smith (knee) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Browns, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: A knee issue held the Stanford product to limited participation in practice Thursday and Friday, and he carried a questionable designation heading into the weekend. Now confirmed active for his 13th appearance of 2020, Smith has a chance to build on a stat line of 16 receptions and 96 yards. Position mate Evan Engram has enjoyed the bulk of the passing-game work with 50 catches for 526 yards and one receiving TD.

  • Questionable for Sunday night

    Smith (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Browns, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Smith recently spent time on the COVID-19 list, but it's a knee injury that's threatening his availability for Week 15. With top tight end Evan Engram (calf) also listed as questionable, Smith's presence as a depth option would be even more valuable than usual for the Giants.

  • Returns to active roster

    The Giants activated Smith (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Smith tested positive for the virus Nov. 20 but has cleared the necessary protocols to return to team activities. The second-year tight end will return to the lineup without missing a game, set to serve as the No. 2 option behind Evan Engram against the Seahawks on Sunday.

  • May return Week 13

    Smith (illness) likely will be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list before this Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.

    Analysis: Smith tested positive for the virus Nov. 20, so he's eligible to come off the reserve list Monday. As long as he clears the league's COVID-19 protocols, he's expected to return to team activities Wednesday. Smith has posted 14 receptions for 87 yards over 10 games this season while averaging 31.0 snaps per contest.

  • Won't play Week 12

    Smith (illness) won't be available to play Sunday against the Bengals, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Smith was revealed to have tested positive for COVID-19 on Nov. 20, and he looks like he won't be ready to play until Week 13 in Seattle at the earliest. His absence this weekend leaves Evan Engram and Levine Toilolo as New York's only available tight ends, though any of Nate Wieting, Rysen John or Nakia Griffin-Stewart could be elevated from the practice squad.

  • Lands on COVID list

    Smith (illness) will be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive for the virus Friday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Smith's placement on the COVID-19 list amid New York's bye week creates doubt about his availability for the team's next game Nov. 29 against Cincinnati. Levine Toilolo will serve as the top backup to Evan Engram if Smith is indeed forced to miss any time.

  • Two catches in win over Eagles

    Smith corralled both of his targets for 12 receiving yards during Sunday's 27-17 win against Philadelphia.

    Analysis: The 2019 sixth-round draft choice had been forced to exit last Sunday's matchup against Washington because of a concussion, though he was able to return to full practice participation by Thursday. Smith has appeared in all 10 games for the Giants this season, totaling 14 receptions for 87 yards with no touchdowns. New York heads into its Week 11 bye before returning to action Nov. 29 to face a Bengals defense that has surrendered the third-most receiving yards to opposing tight ends on the year…read more

  • Cleared for Week 10

    Smith (concussion) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Smith has been cleared for action following back-to-back full practices Thursday and Friday. The Eagles have struggled to defend tight ends this season, but Smith's unlikely to get many opportunities to capitalize on this favorable matchup as the backup to Evan Engram.

  • Trending in right direction

    Smith (concussion) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Smith was diagnosed with a concussion following Sunday's game against Washington, and despite his full participation Thursday, it's not yet clear if he's officially cleared league protocol. If the tight end is able to gain clearance in time for Sunday's game against the Eagles, he'll assume his usual back-up role behind starter Evan Engram.

  • Forced to exit with head injury

    Smith (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Smith has been a constant presence in the Giants' lineup through the first half of 2020, appearing in all eight of New York's games while also logging seven starts. He's undergoing evaluation from the team's training staff and will now have to clear the league's concussion protocol before being eligible to return in a future contest. With Smith out, Levine Toilolo heads into the practice week as New York's No. 2 option at tight end behind Evan Engram.

  • No catches in TNF loss

    Smith was not targeted on any of his 36 offensive snaps during Thursday's 22-21 loss to Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Smith's snap total was his highest of 2020 thus far, though his passing game involvement remains minimal. The second-year tight end has run a route on 79.3 percent of his passing-down plays, but he has just 10 total catches for 61 yards with no touchdowns. New York ranks 30th with 0.7 passing TDs per game this season, capping Smith's fantasy upside heading into a Week 8 Monday night matchup against Tampa Bay.

  • Reels in three passes

    Smith caught all three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 20-19 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Smith's numbers don't jump off the page, but the second-year tight end continues to enjoy consistent playing time, as he logged 23 of 48 offensive snaps (48 percent) and tied Evan Engram in targets Week 6. The Stanford product posted a 30-267-3 line with Engram out over the final six games in 2019, but as long as Engram's manning the top spot on the depth chart, Smith's fantasy value will remain negligible.

  • Another one-catch showing Week 5

    Smith caught his lone target for a seven-yard gain during Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: With Evan Engram back in the fold after missing eight games last season because of knee and foot injuries, the 23-year-old tight end from Stanford has posted seven total receptions over the first five appearances of his sophomore campaign. Smith has four starts to his name and has also played at least 30 percent of the offensive snaps in every game this season, but he hasn't been heavily involved pass-catching-wise for the Giants' 31st-ranked scoring offense.

  • Catches lone Week 4 target

    Smith caught his only target for a 10-yard gain during Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Smith has seen an average of 25 offensive snaps and two targets per game through the first quarter of the Giants' regular-season slate, but he has yet to register more than 17 receiving yards in a contest and remains without a touchdown on the year. He's the No. 2 pass-catching tight end in an offense that has only mustered 47 points all season and a measly 18 points the past two weeks. New York's Week 5 opponent, Dallas, has struggled to stop anybody this season, including tight ends. The…read more

  • Minimal involvement Week 2

    Smith caught two of three targets for a net loss of one yard during Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: After corralling both of his targets in the season opener for a total of 17 receiving yards, Smith served as little more than a bail-out option for his sophomore signal-caller Daniel Jones. At his peak, Smith racked up 267 yards and three touchdowns between Weeks 12 and 17 last year, but with Evan Engram now back in the fold after missing the latter half of 2019 due to a foot injury, the 23-year-old Smith has attracted a mere five targets in two games. Smith and the Giants will see a 49ers…read more

  • Two catches in Week 1 loss

    Smith hauled in both of his targets for 17 receiving yards during Monday's 26-16 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: The second-year tight end out of Stanford actually enjoyed more fantasy production in the opener than did Evan Engram, who only came down with two of seven targets for nine yards. Engram is expected to be featured as the clear No. 1 receiving tight end throughout 2020, but Smith has produced himself when granted the opportunity. Across seven career starts, his most recent of which came Monday night against Pittsburgh, Smith has averaged 4.6 catches and 40.6 receiving yards per game. Week 2…read more

  • Could have meaningful role

    Smith filled in for an injured Evan Engram down the stretch and performed surprisingly well for a rookie with 30 catches and three touchdowns over the Giants' final six games.

    Analysis: Engram should be healthy to start the year, but it's hard to ignore how reliable Smith was as a sixth-round rookie, and Engram has hardly been a paragon of health. Don't be surprised if Smith continues to carve out a role in his second year.

  • Catches two TDs in OT win

    Smith caught six of eight targets for 35 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 41-35 win over the Redskins.

    Analysis: Smith averaged just 5.8 yards per catch, but he did significant damage with his touches. The rookie scored a nine-yard touchdown in the third quarter before winning the game with a three-yard score in overtime. Smith has come on in the latter stages of the season and is now averaging 38 receiving yards per game with two touchdowns over the last four contests. He'll look to finish strong next Sunday against the Eagles.

  • Opportunity arises with Engram out

    Smith should maintain an expanded role on offense over the Giants' final two games after the team placed Evan Engram (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday, Matt Lombardo of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: Smith had already served as the Giants' top tight end for four straight contests while Engram and Rhett Ellison (concussion) were both sidelined, hauling in 16 of 22 targets for 134 yards and one touchdown across that stretch. While Engram is now out of the picture for the remainder of 2019, Smith's role could be threatened to some degree by the potential return of Ellison, who was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Ellison has yet to clear the NFL's concussion protocol, but he may be…read more

  • Logs three catches

    Smith hauled in all three of his targets for 38 yards during Sunday's 36-20 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Smith once again served as New York's top tight end with Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) both sidelined. As long as the Giants' top options are unable to go, Smith will continue to handle the bulk of pass catching work while Scott Simonson works in as a blocking specialist.

  • Should stick as starter in Week 15

    Smith is expected to start at tight end and handle a heavy snap count while Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) both remain sidelined for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Dan Benton of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: For the second straight week, Engram expressed confidence in his ability to play, but the Giants ultimately weren't willing to give him the green light. With Engram and Ellison headed to the inactive list again, Smith is the next man up on the depth chart, while fourth-stringer Scott Simonson operates as a blocking specialist. Smith has played more than 90 percent of the Giants' offensive snaps in each of the past three weeks, delivering 13 receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown on 19 targets.

  • Nabs two passes

    Smith caught two of five targets for nine yards during Monday's 23-17 loss to Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Smith got the start again Monday with Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) both still on the shelf. Working with Eli Manning for the first time, Smith fell off from pace he'd set over the prior two games when he caught 11 passes. Returning to that sort of production against Miami's so-so pass defense in Week 15 is probably a long shot -- rookie quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) remains uncertain to play, while Engram figures to have a decent shot to return to action.

  • Slated for another start

    Smith is expected to fill in as the Giants' primary pass-catching tight end Monday against the Eagles after Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) were both ruled out for the contest, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Smith capitalized in garbage time during the Giants' Week 13 loss to the Packers, tallying most of his 70 receiving yards with New York trailing by multiple scores. Still, it was a positive performance for the rookie tight end, who'll get an opportunity to take advantage of an inconsistent Eagles secondary which just allowed Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki to post a 5-79-1 line. Smith will be catching passes from a new starting quarterback in Eli Manning, who will replaced the injured Daniel…read more

  • Gains 70 yards in loss

    Smith caught six of eight passes for 70 yards during Sunday's 31-13 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Getting the start in place of the injured Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion), Smith tallied some impressive yardage, though almost half of it came on a 32-yard garbage-time shot down the field late in the fourth quarter. Combined with his touchdown against Chicago in Week 12, the rookie tight end has been a bright spot in what has been a rough season for the Giants. Even if he doesn't get the start in a Week 14 Monday night matchup against a struggling Philly team, expect the…read more

  • Primed for another start

    Smith is in line to start Sunday's game against the Packers, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.

    Analysis: Smith caught five of six targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in last week's 19-14 loss to the Bears, playing 98 percent of snaps with both Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) inactive. Engram and Ellison have been ruled out for another game, likely leaving Smith in an every-down role at tight end for a second time in as many weeks. With Golden Tate (concussion) also unavailable, it won't come as any surprise if Smith matches his target total from Week 12. That said, the Sunday…read more

  • First career TD

    Smith hauled in five of six targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: Smith tied with Sterling Shepard for the team lead in receptions, and both receivers were used mainly on short passes, as Shepard totaled just 15 yards. The 22-yeard old tight end was fortunate enough to catch a three-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter, though, marking the rookie's first score of his career. Smith's usage should last as long as Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) are out of the lineup.

  • In starting lineup Sunday

    Smith will enter the starting lineup for Evan Engram (foot) for Sunday's game in Chicago, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Sans Engram and Rhett Ellison (concussion) in Week 12, the Giants will be forced to roll with Smith and veteran Scott Simonson at tight end. A 2019 sixth-round pick of the 49ers, Smith received the first target of his career in the Giants' last game Nov. 10 versus the Jets, hauling it in for a one-yard grab. It remains to be seen what he can do with a larger snap share.

  • Makes first career catch

    Smith caught his only target for one yard in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: Smith -- who was picked in the sixth round by the 49ers last April -- was afforded 41 of a possible 72 offensive snaps (57 percent) since Evan Engram (foot) was inactive and Rhett Ellison suffered a concussion during the contest. Engram and Ellison will both have the upcoming bye to get ready for Week 12's matchup against the Bears, otherwise, Smith could make his first career start.
