Who Should I Start? Jonnu Smith or Noah Fant

Saturday, December 13, 1:48 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith has just five receptions over his past five games but will look to get more involved against his former team, the Miami Dolphins, in Week 15. This is an enticing matchup for Smith, as Miami has surrendered the third-most fantasy points per contest to opposing tight ends this season. While Smith's biggest concern remains his inconsistent utilization, he could draw additional looks on Monday night if fellow tight end Darnell Washington (concussion) is ruled out. The potential for cold temperatures and strong winds also works in Smith's favor, as he primarily operates near the line of scrimmage and generates yards after the catch. He's far from a reliable fantasy starter, but the 30-year-old could surprise in this revenge game and has some appeal as a streaming option in deeper leagues.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant (ankle) is questionable to return to his team's Week 15 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens with an ankle injury. The 28-year-old did not record a target or reception before exiting the game. Fant entered Week 15 with 33 receptions for 283 yards and three touchdowns on 39 targets across 12 games this season. If he is unable to return in Week 15, Bengals tight ends Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, and Tanner Hudson could all see increased playing time. Gesicki has worked as the team's lead receiving tight end in recent weeks, earning 16 targets over his last three games heading into Week 15.
