Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith caught 10 of 11 targets for 113 yards in their 30-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Smith continues to draw plenty of opportunities early and often from Tua Tagovailoa. He led the team in targets, receptions, and yards in Thursday's loss. The 29-year-old looks like a solidified TE1 and has returned significant value to fantasy managers who grabbed him off the waiver wire. Smith now ranks as the TE3 overall, behind only Brock Bowers and George Kittle. Next week, he will get a matchup at home against the New York Jets, who have struggled mightily against tight ends.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught three passes for just six yards but managed to find the end zone twice in the Lions' 23-20 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 13. LaPorta's touchdowns were crucial for both the Lions' victory and his fantasy output, tying his second-highest fantasy performance of the season. While the volume left much to be desired, his red zone involvement keeps him as a streamable option moving forward. LaPorta will look to retain his scoring streak when Detroit hosts the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football in Week 14.
