Jonnu Smith is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for tight ends. John breaks down whether you should target him as a waiver add for Week 3 of 2024.
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues (14+ Teams)
ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Yes, Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith had a nice day, catching six passes on seven targets for 53 yards. But with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa out with a concussion and on an uncertain timeline to return, it's hard to trust in any pass catcher the Dolphins have.
Tagovailoa's injury tanks Smith's value for now, and this likely only changes if he gets more targets than Hill, Waddle, or Achane with new starting quarterback Skylar Thompson leading the offense. Thompson will likely be much less productive than Tagovailoa, which means less to go around for everyone.
Add Jonnu Smith.

Smith's snap share did increase, so he will likely continue to see more playing opportunities. He's worth an add in deeper leagues, but in normal-size leagues, he may not have much upside with Thompson at QB. The tight end landscape is about as lush as the surface of Mercury though, so it couldn't hurt.
