BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End TE1
ANALYSIS: In Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, Jonnu Smith had an impressive performance. He caught all seven of his targets for 86 yards and a touchdown.
This week, he faces the Arizona Cardinals, a team that has struggled against tight ends. The Cardinals allow the eighth-most receiving yards and the 12th-most fantasy points per game to the position.

So far this season, they have surrendered just one receiving touchdown to tight ends, but their defensive vulnerabilities present an opportunity for Smith to shine.
Tua Tagovailoa was cleared from concussion protocol and is set to play in Week 8. Smith's value will increase with Tagovailoa back in action.
The QB's presence can open up the passing game for everyone, including wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Consider Smith a low-end TE1 this week and someone worth starting in favorable matchups.
