News

  • Secures all three targets

    Smythe secured all three of his targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 21-19 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Smythe was more involved as a receiver than Mike Gesicki, who secured his lone target for six yards, but neither tight end was a focal point of Miami's offense in Week 3. Though Gesicki still has big-play upside as he demonstrated Week 2 versus Baltimore, Smythe is best left on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues, except those that have multiple starting spots for tight ends.

  • Reverts to No. 2 role

    Smythe secured his only target for five yards during Sunday's 42-38 win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Smythe worked as the No. 1 tight end Week 1, but versus Baltimore he handled just 49 percent of offensive snaps compared to Gesicki (4-41-1), who played 61 percent. Smythe isn't nearly the receiving threat that Gesicki is, and to make matters worse, he's now committed a significant mistake in back-to-back contests. Back in Week 1, he narrowly avoided a fumble after losing control of a pass, and versus Baltimore his botched block of Justin Houston caused Tua Tagovailoa's only sack. If trends…read more

  • Sees more work than Gesicki

    Smythe secured one of two targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 20-9 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Smythe handled 63 percent of Miami's offensive snaps and saw two more targets than last year's top tight end Mike Gesicki, perhaps solidifying concerns that coach Mike McDaniel's scheme would focus on utilizing the position for more run blocking. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are the clear top options in the passing game, and Gesicki should still hold more fantasy value than Smythe going forward.

  • Back with Miami on two-year deal

    Smythe signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Dolphins on Friday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Smythe appeared in all 17 games for the Dolphins in 2021 and caught 34 of 41 targets for 357 yards and zero touchdowns. He figures to once again operate as the second tight end behind Mike Gesicki in 2022.

  • Career numbers in contract year

    Smythe secured 34 of 41 targets for 357 yards across 17 games in 2021. He also had two carries for three yards.

    Analysis: Smythe put together the best statistical season of his career at an opportune juncture, as both he and Mike Gesicki are scheduled for free agency this offseason. As a solid blocker and a capable, if unspectacular, receiver, Smythe shouldn't have much difficulty drumming up interest if he does hit the open market.

  • Held without a catch

    Smythe failed to secure his lone target during Sunday's win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Smythe operates as the clear No. 2 tight end in Miami's offense behind Mike Gesicki, especially in terms of the receiving game, but heading into Week 13 he had recorded back-to-back contests with five targets. The fourth-year pro doesn't have a very desirable floor or ceiling for fantasy purposes, but with a matchup against the Jets on deck after Miami's bye, he could be worth consideration in formats that start multiple tight ends.

  • Returns to Sunday's contest

    Smythe (eye) has returned to Sunday's contest against the Texans, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Smythe left the Dolphins' Week 9 matchup against the Texans with an eye injury, but it doesn't appear to be serious, as he has returned to the contest. The 2018 fourth-round pick occupies a clear backup role behind Mike Gesicki, recording two or fewer catches in two of his eight games this season.

  • Might not return Sunday

    Smythe (eye) is questionable to return Sunday against the Texans.

    Analysis: Smythe is not much of a threat in the passing game and occupies a clear backup role behind Mike Gesicki, so his potential absence shouldn't affect many fantasy rosters. He's had two or fewer catches in two of his eight games this season.

  • Little action in OT loss

    Smythe failed to secure his lone target during Sunday's overtime loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Smythe occupies a clear back seat behind top receiving tight end Mike Gesicki, who earned 12 targets from fill-in quarterback Jacoby Brissett in Week 3. Though the fourth-year pro has proven a relatively capable receiver when called upon, the presence of Gesicki deprives him of any chance at seeing regular opportunities. Even in most fantasy formats that feature multiple starting TEs, Smythe can safely be left on the waiver wire.

  • Receives competition for No. 2 role

    Smythe is expected to compete with rookie third-round pick Hunter Long for the backup spot at tight end behind Mike Gesicki in training camp, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Smythe took a major step forward as a receiver in 2020 with 26 catches for 208 yards and two touchdowns, eclipsing the total production from his first two years in the league. However, Smythe and Gesicki are both entering the final seasons of their rookie contracts, which may have prompted the Dolphins to select Long in the third round. Gesicki has 104 receptions for 1,273 yards and 11 touchdowns over the past two years and is a prime extension candidate, while Smythe will need to hold off Long…read more

  • Solid end to season

    Smythe caught all three of his targets for 23 yards during Week 17's 56-26 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Smythe handled his usual role in the passing game behind Mike Gesicki during last Sunday's blowout loss, while also contributing as a blocker in the running game. Through 15 games in 2020, Smythe caught 26 of 29 targets for 208 yards and two targets. He stands to reprise a similar gig during the 2021 campaign, while playing out the final year of his rookie deal with the Dolphins.

  • Just two grabs in Las Vegas

    Smythe secured both of his targets for six yards during Saturday's 26-25 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Smythe returned to a depth role with Mike Gesicki back in the lineup, but the absence of DeVante Parker (hamstring) still allowed him to see a slight uptick in opportunities. He'll handle a similar role against the Bills in Week 17.

  • Leads team in receiving

    Smythe secured all five of his targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 22-12 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Smythe's stat line wouldn't normally be too notable, but with all of DeVante Parker (hamstring), Mike Gesicki (shoulder) and Jakeem Grant (hamstring) sidelined, his 40 yards were enough to pace Miami's receiving corps. If Gesicki can't return in time for Miami's Dec. 26 road game against the Raiders, Smythe and Adam Shaheen will both be in line to handle increased roles again.

  • Makes two grabs again

    Smythe hauled in two of three targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Smythe once again played a depth role while Mike Gesicki (5-65-2) was showcased as Miami's clear No. 1 receiving tight end, logging his second straight game with two catches. However, Gesicki was forced out late due to a shoulder injury and may be forced to miss time. If Gesicki does end up sitting out Week 15's game against New England, Smythe and Adam Shaheen would both be candidates to handle increased workloads.

  • Hauls in two passes

    Smythe caught both of his targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 19-7 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Smythe only has had one game all season in which he's exceeded two catches, Week 13 against the Jets. He had just three grabs then. While the Dolphins occasionally scheme Smythe looks in the red zone, those opportunities come too infrequently to make up for his low fantasy floor.

  • Three grabs versus Jets

    Smythe caught all three of his targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Smythe has now recorded a catch in six of his last seven games, confirmation that his involvement on offense (albeit in a depth capacity) hasn't been a fluke. Still, his lack of consistent volume and scoring upside keeps him off the fantasy radar as a streaming option in most formats.

  • Nabs second TD of season

    Smythe caught both of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 29-21 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Smythe doesn't see targets with the same regularity as Mike Gesicki, and Adam Shaheen has shown superior deep and intermediate abilities, but the second-year pro is establishing himself as an option in the red zone. He'll look to continue establishing chemistry with Tua Tagovailoa at Denver in Week 11.

  • Good to go Sunday

    Smythe (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old suffered the concussion last week against the Cardinals, but he cleared the concussion protocol in time for Sunday's contest. Smythe should fill his usual role as Miami's No. 2 tight end.

  • Questionable after full practice

    Smythe (concussion) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Smythe's trending in the right direction, as he practiced fully Friday following limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. It's unclear if Smythe has cleared the concussion protocol yet, but he'll have to do so in order to have any chance of playing Sunday. Adam Shaheen would see some extra snaps behind Mike Gesicki if Smythe can't go on game day.

  • Listed as limited Wednesday

    Smythe (concussion) is listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: The Dolphins only hosted a walk-through Wednesday, so Smythe's "limited" listing is just an estimation of what he would have done in a full practice. Nonetheless, it serves as an indication that the backup tight end is progressing through the concussion protocol.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Smythe (concussion) is ruled out to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Smythe has been confirmed to have sustained a concussion, so he'll now enter the league's five-step protocol for head injuries. He caught his only target for 19 yards before being forced out. Mike Gesicki and Adam Shaheen are the Dolphins' remaining healthy tight ends.

  • Being evaluated for concussion

    Smythe is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals and will be evaluated for a concussion.

    Analysis: Smythe won't be eligible to return Sunday if he indeed enters the concussion protocol. The Dolphins are already operating without Preston Williams (knee), Myles Gaskin (knee) and Matt Breida (hamstring), so losing Smythe would further detract from an already undermanned skill-position group.

  • Hauls in two passes

    Smythe caught both his targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 28-17 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Both of Smythe's grabs went for eight yards, and he actually led Miami's tight end group in receiving on a day when Tua Tagovailoa threw for just 93 yards. Smythe also had more snaps than either Mike Gesicki or Adam Shaheen, though he mostly worked as a blocker.

  • Scores first touchdown of career

    Smythe secured one of two targets for a four-yard touchdown during Sunday's 24-0 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Smythe and fellow backup tight end Adam Shaheen (3-51-1) both got involved enough on offense to score Sunday, while Mike Gesicki was held without a catch on two targets. It's encouraging to see Smythe log a productive day after having missed Week 5 due to a knee injury, but he usually takes too large a percentage of his snaps as a blocker to warrant real fantasy consideration.

  • All clear Sunday

    Smythe (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Smythe missed last week's win over the 49ers and only practiced in limited fashion through the week, so the fact that he's back playing is a positive sign. Now healthy, the Notre Dame product is expected to reprise his usual role as the No. 2 tight end option behind Mike Gesicki.

  • Questionable to face Jets

    Smythe (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: Smythe missed Week 5's contest against the 49ers, but he's now coming off three straight limited practice sessions. If he's able to gain clearance versus New York, Smythe stands to reprise his usual role as the top backup to Mike Gesicki.

  • Out for Week 5

    Smythe (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49res, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Smythe wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week, so his lack of availability doesn't come as much of a surprise. In his stead, Adam Shaheen will take over as Miami's main backup tight end behind Mike Gesicki.

  • Misses practice with knee injury

    Smythe (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Miami's backup tight end is coming off a solid two-catch, 30-yard performance against the Seahawks in Week 4, but he may have picked up a knee injury along the way in that one. It's also possible that this was just a routine day off, and Smythe's practice participation in the coming days should help us form a better idea of his status for Sunday's trip to San Francisco.

  • Involved in loss

    Smythe caught two of three targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Smythe got some opportunities Sunday as Seattle's defensive coverage honed in on limiting Mike Gesicki (one catch on three targets). The tight end also fielded one five-yard kickoff return, an unusual role in which the Dolphins occasionally deploy Smythe. As usual, though, the majority of Smythe's 29 offensive snaps (41 percent) came as a blocker.

  • Not targeted Week 1

    Smythe was not targeted during Sunday's divisional loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Smythe, despite being listed as the starter on Miami's first unofficial depth chart of the year, only handled 13 offensive snaps (21 percent) compared to Mike Gesicki's 45 snaps (73 percent). Additionally, Gesicki accounted for all five of the targets that went to Miami's tight end position. Smythe could see more workload as a blocker as the season continues, particularly if Miami's ground game can get going, but his fantasy floor essentially remains nonexistent.

  • Listed atop depth chart

    Miami listed Smythe as its top tight end on the unofficial depth chart the team released Monday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Miami's decision to list Smythe as the No. 1 option on the depth chart perhaps hints that new offensive coordinator is placing a greater emphasis on blocking from the tight-end position. If that's indeed the case, it would spell bad news for Mike Gesicki, who broke out late in 2019 to finish his second season with 51 receptions for 570 yards and five touchdowns. While Gesicki remains entrenched as Miami's clear top pass-catching tight end, he could notice a decline in his overall snap count if…read more

  • One catch in finale

    Smythe secured one of three targets for eight yards during Week 17's win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Smythe once again served as the No. 2 tight end behind Mike Gesicki during Miami's regular-season finale, doing most of his damage as a blocker. The second-year pro played in all 16 games during the 2019 season, during which he caught seven of 14 targets for 65 yards. He stands to reprise a similar role behind Gesicki in 2020.

  • Practices without limitations

    Smythe (quadriceps) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Smythe was limited in practice to begin the week, but he now looks back to full health. He'll play his usual role behind starter Mike Gesicki in Miami's tight end corps Week 17.

  • Deemed limited in practice

    Smythe (quadriceps) was credited with a limited practice Wednesday, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Smythe must have picked up the injury in Sunday's win over the Bengals, yet it wouldn't have sidelined him completely if the Dolphins had actually held practice Wednesday. The 24-year-old's status bears monitoring over the course of the week.

  • Upgrades to full practice

    Smythe (knee/elbow) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Smythe was limited during Wednesday's practice due to knee and elbow injuries, and he's already resumed participating without limitations. The second-year pro looks primed for his usual depth role against the Bills on Sunday.

  • Nursing two injuries

    Smythe (knee/elbow) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: It's never good to have multiple injuries in tow, but it's a positive sign that Smythe still got on the practice field. The second-year tight end is used mainly in a blocking role, as he has run a route on 46.3 percent of his snaps. His status for Sunday's game against the Bills doesn't appear to be in jeopardy yet, but Chandler Cox and Clive Walford are waiting in the wings in case Smythe can't go.
