Jonnu Smith Week 11 Outlook - Dolphins at Broncos

Would you believe me if I told you that Week 10 was the first since Week 5 where Smith saw more than four targets? It's no coincidence that he hasn't caught more than two balls since Week 5, either. It seems that his increased usage earlier in the season was due to A.J. Brown being out of the lineup, as his return has buried Smith down the pecking order. He hasn't topped 40 yards since way back in Week 3, which puts him back in the touchdown-or-bust territory with many other tight ends. The Ravens have allowed just four touchdowns to tight ends on the season, but if there's one position the Ravens are average against, it's tight ends. They've allowed a 67.2 percent catch-rate (14th), 7.33 yards per target (14th), a touchdown every 16.0 targets (15th), and 1.78 PPR points per target (16th). See what I mean about average? Smith falls into the high-end TE2 range as someone who's flashed at times but is no longer a must-start.
