Draft note

by John Paulsen

There was a lot to like about this signing by the Patriots, until they signed Hunter Henry as well. Smith finished as the No. 10 tight end last season after a No. 19 finish the year before. Smith is a more explosive athlete than Henry, but Henry is the more accomplished receiver. If both players stay healthy, my money is on Henry to lead the two in catches and yards, but it’s really a coin flip.

Titans Beat: Anthony Firkser expected to be team's top receiving TE

Titans Insider

yesterday · 8:43 AM EDT

As he enters his third season with the Tennessee Titans, Anthony Firkser is set for a much bigger role this year.

Firkser, who had 39 receptions a year ago in a role mostly as a third-down option, is expected to become the Titans’ primary receiving tight end with the departure of Jonnu Smith to New England as a free agent.

Fantasy Impact:

According to a lot of reports, Firkser has had a great offseason. While he should see an increase in targets, the addition of Julio Jones keeps Firkser's ranking in check as he sits at 21st on our list. The story said Firkser is not to be overlooked in the offense, though, and he should benefit greatly from favorable matchups and should build on last year’s production with increased playing time. He'll be available later in drafts.

NE TE Jonnu Smith - 2021 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

2020 finally saw Jonnu Smith really see the end zone, scoring a career-high eight touchdowns, as he was a big target whenever the Titans got into the red zone. In fact, only four players had more red-zone touchdowns than Smith and only one of those four was a tight end (Travis Kelce). Smith was rewarded with a $50 million contract ($31.25 million guaranteed) from the Patriots in free agency to be one of the centerpieces of their offense.

Fantasy Downside

When Smith signed with the Patriots, he had a ton of fantasy potential. Then the team signed Hunter Henry to a considerable contract as well. For real football purposes, Smith and Henry give the Patriots a great duo at tight end to bully teams with 12 personnel. For fantasy purposes, Smith and Henry will limit each other's fantasy ceiling.

2021 Bottom Line

The fact that New England went after Smith first could be telling, but a lot also depends on the quarterback situation in New England, whether it's Cam Newton or Mac Jones. But Smith is still brimming with upside and you can get him fairly cheap in drafts as a TE2 with top-12 upside.
