Jets' Stone Smartt: Scores 24-yard TD in Saturday's win
Smartt caught his only target for a 24-yard touchdown in Saturday's 30-10 preseason win over the Packers.
Smartt's touchdown catch came in the third quarter, well after all of the Jets' starters had departed. He's behind 2025 second-round pick Mason Taylor (ankle) and Jeremy Ruckert on the depth chart, but Smartt's intriguing pass catching ability could earn him a role on offense come the regular season, especially if Taylor misses time as a result of his high-ankle sprain.

Jets' Stone Smartt: Joining forces with Gang Green
Smartt is signing a one-year contract with the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Smartt was the Chargers' top pass-catching TE for a few weeks last season while Will Dissly was injured, but they didn't consider him worthy of a restricted-free-agent tender for $3.26 million. While that isn't the best sign for his NFL future, nor for his odds of gaining fantasy relevance, Smartt at least did well to land with a team that has one of the weakest TE rooms in the league. Incumbent starter Tyler Conklin is an unrestricted free agent, leaving 2022 third-round pick Jeremy Ruckert atop the depth chart, backed only by young, undrafted players. The Jets figure to add more talent at the position if they don't re-sign Conklin, and Smartt's chances to earn a regular role in passing situations likely depends on whether the team gets an experienced starter / early draft pick or settles for another bargain-bin signing / late-round selection. Either way, the path to mainstream fantasy relevance is slim.

Chargers' Stone Smartt: Puts up career-high marks
Smartt played in 15 regular-season games in 2024, making 16 catches (on 19 targets) for 208 yards.
Smartt's reception and yardage totals were career highs, despite playing 122 offensive snaps less in 2024 than he had in 2023. The Old Dominion product is set to be a restricted free agent in March and is a candidate to return to the squad in 2025, depending on how the Chargers rework their tight-end corps with only Will Dissly under contract for next season.

Chargers' Stone Smartt: Held catchless versus Las Vegas
Smartt was not targeted during Sunday's 34-20 win over the Raiders.
Smartt played just 13 offensive snaps in Los Angeles' regular-season finale, a lesser total than both Will Dissly and Tucker Fisk. Across 15 regular-season appearances, Smartt logged 16 catches (19 targets) for 208 yards with zero touchdowns. After the Chargers' playoff run, which will begin on the road against Houston on Saturday in a wild-card round matchup, Smartt will be slated to become a restricted free agent in the offseason.

Chargers' Stone Smartt: Two receptions in big win
Smartt caught both of his targets for 23 yards in the 40-7 win over the Patriots on Saturday.
Will Dissly (35 snaps) and Tucker Fisk (32 snaps) both played more than Smartt, who had benefitted in recent weeks due to the absence of Dissly and Hayden Hurst (illness). With Dissly back, Smartt should fade back into the No. 2 tight end committee that sees him typically used as an additional blocker.

Chargers' Stone Smartt: Three receptions in win
Smartt caught all three of his targets for 37 yards in the 34-27 win over the Broncos on Thursday.
Hayden Hurst returned off injured reserve after missing the past five weeks due to a hip injury, but the veteran played only eight snaps, hardly carving into Smartt's playing time. In addition, Will Dissly appears closer to returning after missing the past two games due to a shoulder injury, which would also relegate Smartt to at minimum the No. 2 spot in the tight end rotation come Week 16. Given the compiling playing time factors, Smartt's run as a productive fantasy option could be coming to a close.

Chargers' Stone Smartt: Nearly leads team in receving
Smartt pulled in five of six targets for 50 receiving yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 40-17 loss to Tampa Bay.
Smartt continued to operate as the Chargers' top tight end sans veteran starter Will Dissly (shoulder). The third-year man fell just eight yards short of the team lead in receiving behind Ladd McConkey (5-58-1). Smartt did cough up the first fumble of his career in the lopsided loss, putting a damper on an otherwise fine fantasy showing. With Dissly expected to miss multiple weeks, Smartt could be a bargain at the tight end position in Week 16.

Chargers' Stone Smartt: Set for significant playing bump
Smartt is set for a bump in playing time with Will Dissly (shoulder) likely out multiple weeks, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Hayden Hurst (hip) is technically eligible to return from injured reserve by Week 16, but given there's been zero updates regarding Hurst's health, Smartt effectively has a clear shot at the No. 1 tight end role with Dissly expected to be out. Smartt played a season-high 22 snaps Sunday at Kansas City and parlayed that into three receptions for 54 yards, mostly in the absence of Dissly. The 26-year-old has mainly been a rotational piece in his three-year career, but the 2022 undrafted free agent hasn't had this sort of opportunity to emerge as a fantasy relevant piece.

Chargers' Stone Smartt: Ready for Sunday night
Smartt (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.
Smartt was sidelined for each of the Chargers' last two games due to an ankle injury likely sustained in Week 8's win over the Saints. However, he practiced in full Friday and is now in line to return to the field Sunday. Expect Smartt to serve as a depth piece in the Chargers' tight end room in Week 11, playing behind both Hayden Hurst and Will Dissly.
