Jonnu Smith - 2025 Fantasy Football Busts and Overvalued Draft Picks

Jonnu Smith is a potential fantasy football bust and overvalued draft pick for 2025. Read the fantasy football outlook and draft advice for the Miami Dolphins tight end.

RotoBaller Ranking (half-PPR): TE7

Fantasy Draft Analysis:

Jonnu Smith is coming off a career year with the Dolphins, where he caught 88 of 111 targets for 884 yards and eight touchdowns. The former Titan was able to finish as TE6 thanks to this production.

But there are a couple of risks here, aside from the fact that Smith is essentially a one-year wonder.

For one, Smith put up unsustainable production in a broken Dolphins offense where Tua Tagovailoa was constantly throwing checkdowns to his tight end (along with running back De'Von Achane).

If the Dolphins figure it out on offense, expect targets to once again be funneled through Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Then you have to consider that Smith's name has popped up in trade rumors recently, with a reunion with Smith in Pittsburgh as an option. If that happened, Smith would have to share playing time with Pat Freiermuth, which sounds like a nightmare for fantasy.

When you look at ADP, you see that Mark Andrews is available nearly 10 picks later. Why not target the player with more of a track record, one who plays in a vastly superior offense? Smith feels completely overpriced, and it's entirely based on last year's unsustainable production. In my mind, Smith is one of the easiest fades in drafts this year.
