2022 Fantasy Outlook
Smith hasn't racked up more than 167 yards in any of his first three NFL seasons, but his ability to contribute as the gunner on special teams gives him the inside track on a roster spot with the Jets.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Smith will need to deliver a strong showing in camp just to secure a spot in the Jets' beefed-up receiving corps. Injuries presented Smith with an opportunity to play a bigger role last year, but he secured just 17 of 37 targets in 12 games played (four starts). The 24-year-old finds himself on the roster bubble heading into preseason, with at least six players firmly ahead of him on the depth chart.
