Coming off a career year in Miami and united (for the 3rd time) with his former coach, Smith lands in the catbird seat this season. The Steelers failed to upgrade the receiver room outside of adding Metcalf, so they added the next best thing, a tight end who moonlights as a receiver, as Smith slides right into a primary pass-catcher role. His 88-884-8 line from a year ago came out of nowhere, as they smashed previous career highs. Smith's other best seasons came with Arthur Smith designing the offense, so you know he's been handpicked to play a significant role. Aaron Rogers loves to utilize his tight ends, especially to pepper the middle of the field, and down the seam, as he made Tyler Conklin relevant at times last year. There is almost no chance Smith comes close to his numbers from last season simply because the Steelers won't be as pass heavy, and the presence of Pat Freiermuth means less redzone chances, but if you are fading or streaming the position, Smith is certainly a worthy option.
