News

  • Gets dealt

    Smith-Marsette was traded to the Panthers from the Chiefs on Tuesday, Dov Kleiman of BroBible.com reports.

    Analysis: The teams will swap conditional seventh-round picks in the deal, while Smith-Marsette should provide some improved depth at receiver for Carolina. The Iowa product has appeared in 16 games over the last three NFL seasons, making six catches for 131 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Sticks with Chiefs

    Kansas City signed Smith-Marsette to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette suited up for two regular-season games with the Chiefs this season in addition to spending time on the team's practice squad. He wasn't targeted in those contests, playing just 12 offensive snaps and one snap on special teams. The 2021 fifth-round pick will get a chance to continue his development this offseason.

  • Moves back to practice squad

    Smith-Marsette reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette was elevated ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game, marking his third promotion since joining Kansas City's practice squad Oct. 21. However, unlike his previous two appearances, the 6-foot-1 wideout was ruled inactive pregame along with active-roster pass catcher Justin Watson (illness). Regular wideouts JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee), Kadarius Toney (ankle) and Mecole Hardman (pelvis) all exited at different points during this win versus Cincinnati. Therefore, if Smith-Marsette is…read more

  • Up on roster again

    Smith-Marsette was elevated to the active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette will make his third appearance on the Chiefs' active roster, but he's yet to garner a target across 12 offensive snaps. Expect a similar course of action with Mecole Hardman (pelvis) trending toward playing Sunday.

  • Returns to practice squad

    Smith-Marsette reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette was elevated from the Chiefs' practice squad for the second time this season ahead of Saturday's regular-season finale against Las Vegas. The second-year wideout served as the team's No. 5 wideout with Mecole Hardman (pelvis) and Skyy Moore (hand) both inactive against the Raiders. However, Smith-Marsette did not record a target while playing nine of his 10 snaps on offense, and he has not recorded a target since joining up with Kansas City.

  • Elevated to active roster

    Kansas City elevated Smith-Marsette to its active roster from the practice squad Friday for Saturday's matchup against Las Vegas, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Analysis: With Skyy Moore (hand) out and Mecole Hardman (pelvis) questionable, Smith-Marsette has been added to the active roster as insurance. In his lone appearance with Kansas City (Week 14), Smith-Marsette played three offensive snaps but didn't see any targets.

  • Heads back to practice squad

    Smith-Marsette reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette received the bump up with Kadarius Toney still sidelined by a hamstring injury. The 23-year-old saw three snaps on offense against the Broncos. but he failed to see a target. He was also expected to handle kick returns, but all five of Denver's kickoffs went for touchbacks.

  • Elevated to active roster

    Smith-Marsette has been elevated to the Chiefs' active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: With Kadarius Toney (hamstring) sidelined, Smith-Marsette has been called up to help provide depth at wide receiver as the team's fifith healthy option. He has been on the Chiefs' practice squad since Oct. 21 after getting waived by the Bears. He recorded just one reception for 15 yards across six weeks in Chicago.

  • Inked to practice squad by KC

    The Chiefs signed Smith-Marsette to their practice squad Friday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette was waived by the Bears on Tuesday after totaling one catch on four targets for 15 yards through six games. Kansas City unquestionably has a more potent passing attack, but Smith-Marsette isn't likely to ascend far enough up the receiver depth chart to be an impactful fantasy asset, if he's able to make the active roster at all. The Chiefs may see more value in him as a kick returner, as he has both college and NFL experience in that role.

  • Let go Tuesday

    Smith-Marsette was waived by the Bears on Tuesday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette has played in every game this season, but he's failed to make an impact in the Bears' passing game, bringing in one catch on four targets for 15 yards. In a corresponding move, the Bears signed fellow receiver Isaiah Coulter to the active roster from their practice squad.

  • Targeted once in defeat

    Smith-Marsette lost one yard on one rushing attempt and failed to catch his only target in the Bears' 12-7 loss to the Commanders on Thursday.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette was targeted on a key fourth down while the Bears were trying to drive for a go-ahead score, but the pass went through his hands. He was on the field for 35 percent of the snaps, so his role in the offense is growing, but unless his targets increase significantly, he'll be a non-factor in fantasy.

  • Fumbles on first catch of season

    Smith-Marsette caught one pass for 15 yards in the Bears' 29-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: Facing his former team, Smith-Marsette caught a pass in the last two minutes of the game as Chicago tried to tie the game, but on the play, he fumbled the ball away, which sealed the win for the Vikings. With just three targets this season, he'd need a significantly larger role in the offense to have weekly fantasy value.

  • First target with Chicago

    Smith-Marsette failed to catch his lone target in the Bears' 20-12 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette has seen limited snaps on offense, but his only contribution on the stat sheet has been a 17-yard kick return in Week 2. Unless his role changes, his fantasy value will remain low.

  • Claimed by Bears

    The Bears have claimed Smith-Marsette off waivers from the Vikings, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 2021 fifth-rounder was the odd man out in the Vikings' wideout corps as Week 1 approached, but Smith-Marsette now will add depth to a Chicago wide receiver group that profiles as a work in progress, currently led by top option Darnell Mooney.

  • Cut by Vikes

    The Vikings waived Smith-Marsette on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: A 2021 fifth-round pick, Smith found it difficult to make inroads in a receiving corps led by Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and K.J. Osborn as a rookie last season. Smith likely was destined for work on special teams again in 2022, but his performances on that front during exhibition season weren't encouraging. Across three games, he recorded five punt returns for 40 yards (8.0 average) and three kick returns for 55 yards (18.3 average). With Minnesota landing Jalen Reagor via trade Wednesday,…read more

  • Paces pass catchers in loss

    Smith-Marsette brought in all three targets for 63 yards and returned one punt for 21 yards in the Vikings' 23-13 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette's performance was encouraging under any circumstance, but even more so with fellow wideouts Bisi Johnson (knee) and Jalen Nailor (concussion) both exiting the game with injuries. Smith-Marsette also redeemed himself as a returner after a poor showing in that regard in last Saturday's loss to the 49ers, and he appears set to open the season in a No. 4 or No. 5 receiver role in addition to primary punt-return duties.

  • Struggles as punt returner

    Smith-Marsette had four receptions for 27 yards on four targets in Saturday's preseason loss to San Francisco. He fumbled a punt return out of bounds and bobbled another, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette has made a strong case this preseason to be the Vikings' No. 4 wide receiver, but his perch atop the depth chart at punt returner looks shaky. Winning a role on special teams could help him win a reserve receiver role in his competition with Bisi Johnson, Albert Wilson, Dan Chisena and sixth-round rookie Jalen Nailor.

  • Looks sharp in preseason opener

    Smith-Marsette had three receptions for 31 yards on five targets in Sunday's preseason loss at Las Vegas. He also had three kick returns for an average of 18.3 yards and loss four yards on two punt returns.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette looked sharp and is likely the leading candidate for the No. 4 receiver role that could get more usage under new head coach Kevin O'Connell. It looks like Smith-Marsette could win the punt return job as well.

  • Listed as top punt retuner

    Smith-Marsette is listed as the primary punt returner on Minnesota's first depth chart of the preseason even though he has never returned a punt in an NFL regular-season game, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: The 2021 fifth-round pick missed some practice time this spring with a lower-leg injury that seems to have been minor. He saw only six targets as a rookie, while K.J. Osborn emerged as the No. 3 receiver, but Smith-Marsette did flash some promise at the end of the season with three catches for 103 yards and a TD in Week 18. If he can carve out a role on special teams, he could win a reserve receiver role in competition with Bisi Johnson, Albert Wilson, Dan Chisena and sixth-round rookie Jalen…read more

  • Healthy for camp

    Coach Kevin O'Connell said Smith-Marsette (leg) is "looking great" and should be a full-go for the start of training camp, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: The 2021 fifth-round pick missed some practice time this spring with a lower-leg injury that seems to have been minor. He saw only six targets as a rookie while K.J. Osborn emerged as the No. 3 receiver, but Smith-Marsette did flash some promise at the end of the season with three catches for 103 yards and a TD in Week 18. He'll compete for the Vikings' No. 4 spot at wide receiver, challenged by Bisi Johnson, Albert Wilson, Dan Chisena and sixth-round rookie Jalen Nailor.

  • Dealing with lower-leg injury

    Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that Smith-Marsette is out for the rest of the spring due to a lower-leg injury he suffered during a recent workout, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette finished his rookie campaign with five receptions for 116 yards and two scores across eight appearances. It's unclear how serious his injury is, but any missed time will affect his development heading into his second second season. If healthy, Smith-Marsette will likely slot in behind Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and K.J. Osborn on the depth chart to start the 2022 campaign.

  • Pair of long receptions

    Smith-Marsette recorded three catches on three targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette has had the chance for more consistent snaps in the last few games with Adam Thielen (ankle) sidelined. He did not record a target or reception in Week 17 but exploded for huge gains of 44, 40 and 19 yards to record the first 100-yard game of his career in Sunday's win. Even with the explosive effort, Smith-Marsette figures to enter the 2022 campaign buried on the wide receiver depth chart behind at least Justin Jefferson, Thielen and K.J. Osborn.

  • Healthy scratch for Week 16

    Smith-Marsette (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Analysis: After playing a career-high 48 percent of the offensive snaps and providing one of Minnesota's two touchdowns in its 17-9 win over Chicago in Week 15, Smith-Marsette won't suit up Sunday with fellow wideouts Adam Thielen (ankle), Dede Westbrook (reserve/COVID-19 list) and Dan Chisena (reserve/COVID-19 list) all returning to action this weekend. Currently sixth on the depth chart at receiver, Smith-Marsette could be inactive for the rest of the season so long as the top five options are all…read more

  • Scores first career touchdown

    Smith-Marsette secured one of two targets for a seven-yard touchdown during Monday's 17-9 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette logged a career-high 48 percent of snaps while hauling in his first TD during Monday's divisional matchup. The rookie fifth-round pick doubtless saw increased opportunities with Adam Thielen (ankle) sidelined, and both Dede Westbrook (illness) and Dan Chisena (illness) on the COVID-19 list, however, and he still operated behind K.J. Osborn. Depending on the state of Minnesota's receiving corps, Smith-Marsette's involvement on offense could sharply decline versus the Rams in Week…read more

  • Sitting against Baltimore

    Smith-Marsette (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette battled a toe injury earlier in the season, but he returned for a Week 8 matchup against Dallas and recorded one reception for six yards. Dan Chisena has been active for each of the last three games and appears to have surpassed Smith-Marsette for a depth role among the team's wide receiver corps.

  • Sits out Week 6

    Smith-Marsette was inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official website reports.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette was dealing with a toe injury throughout the week, but he was able to log full practices Thursday and Friday before being ruled inactive for Week 6. The 22-year-old wideout should be ready to go when the Vikings return from their bye for a matchup with the Cowboys on Oct. 31.

  • Practices with limitations

    Smith-Marsette (toe) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette has been unavailable the past two games due to the toe injury, so it's a good sign to see him back at practice. The rookie fifth-round pick could avoid an injury designation for Sunday at Carolina if he can practice without limitations within the next couple days.

  • Officially inactive

    Smith-Marsette (toe) is officially inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette was ruled out from the game earlier in the week, but Sunday's inactives make that official. It will be his second consecutive absence, and he did not participate in practice in any capacity during the week. Smith-Marsette's absence should solidify the roles of K.J. Osborn and Dede Westbrook in Week 5.

  • Remains out against Lions

    Smith-Marsette (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette will sit out for a second consecutive game due to this toe injury. The rookie fifth-round pick will set his sights on healing up in time to rejoin his teammates on the field against the Panthers in Week 6.

  • Not practicing Wednesday

    Smith-Marsette (toe) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette didn't appear in Sunday's loss to the Browns due to his toe injury, and he's still unable to practice. Even if the 22-year-old is active for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Lions, he's unlikely to play a significant role.

  • Won't play in Week 4

    Smith-Marsette (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: K.J. Osborn is expected to take over kick returning duties in Smith-Marsette's absence, piling more onto an already full plate that includes punt returns and a significant role in the offense for Osborn. Smith-Marsette will look to overcome his toe injury in time to return against the Lions in Week 5.

  • No practice reps Wednesday

    Smith-Marsette (toe) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Since getting four offensive snaps in the season opener, Smith-Marsette has been contained to exclusively special teams, with his 20.8 yards per kickoff return ranking 16th in the NFL. Otherwise, he's waiting for his first NFL target, which may be in the distant future due to his bout with a toe injury.

  • Sustains toe injury

    Smith-Marsette suffered a toe injury during Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette still is seeking his first career catch, but before he departed Sunday he returned two kicks for 40 yards. Ameer Abdullah subbed in for Smith-Marsette on the first kickoff of the second half.

  • Limited use on offense

    Smith-Marsette did not have a target or carry, but played four snaps on offense in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. He had one kick return for 21 yards.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette begins the season as the primary kick returner and No. 5 wide receiver. He'll have limited usage on offense unless there are injuries in the receiver corps.

  • Locks up return gig

    Smith-Marsette is slated to operate as Minnesota's top return man after the team released Ameer Abdullah on Tuesday, Arif Hasan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette has been explosive while fielding both kicks and punts through the preseason, and the Vikings are hoping the rookie fifth-round pick from Iowa can maintain his momentum into the regular season. If Smith-Marsette can continue to progress in his development, he could also earn designed opportunities as a field stretcher on offense.

  • Catches all three looks

    Smith-Marsette caught all three of his targets for 43 yards and rushed once for eight yards in Friday night's 28-25 preseason loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette also fielded kicks, gaining 76 yards from his three kickoff returns. Although the rookie featured with Minnesota's first-team offense, none of his receptions came with starting quarterback Kirk Cousins in the game. Nonetheless, in tying for the lead in catches and placing second on the Vikings in receiving yards, Smith-Marsette again put forth a good effort as he aims to earn snaps behind Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen. Despite the fact his team hasn't incorporated three…read more

  • Shows spark in return game

    Smith-Marsette had a 41-yard kickoff return and a 17-yard punt return in Saturday's preseason loss to Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette didn't do much on offense, as didn't have a reception on two targets. However, he'll need to make the roster as a returner, and he showed a spark in the loss. Smith-Marsette was a fifth-round selection and could make the team as a special teams contributor and depth receiver.

  • Does little with opportunity

    Smith-Marsette recorded two receptions on six targets for 12 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Smith-Marsette was on the field throughout the game. He led the team with six targets and also served as the kick returner. However, he didn't do much with his opportunity, failing to convert many of his targets into receptions and doing little with the catches he did make. Smith-Marsette was a fifth-round selection and could make the team as a special teams contributor and depth receiver.
