2024 Fantasy Outlook
Smartt played nearly 300 offensive snaps last year filling in at times for an injured Gerald Everett or Donald Parham, but the 25-year-old was used primarily as a run blocker in two tight-end sets. Smartt might have a difficult time making the final roster given the Chargers signed Will Dissly and Hayden Hurst during the offseason while retaining the intriguing 6-8 Parham. Read Past Outlooks
Three receptions in win
Smartt caught all three of his targets for 37 yards in the 34-27 win over the Broncos on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Hayden Hurst returned off injured reserve after missing the past five weeks due to a hip injury, but the veteran played only eight snaps, hardly carving into Smartt's playing time. In addition, Will Dissly appears closer to returning after missing the past two games due to a shoulder injury, which would also relegate Smartt to at minimum the No. 2 spot in the tight end rotation come Week 16. Given the compiling playing time factors, Smartt's run as a productive fantasy option could be coming to a close.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
An undrafted free agent last season, Smartt wound up recording 74 offensive snaps across seven contests mainly chipping in as an extra blocker in multiple tight-end personnel. The 6-foot-4 target is undersized (226 pounds) for a tight end and could be on the chopping block for one of the team's final roster spots.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ascends to top of depth chart
Smartt is expected to work as the top tight end for the Chargers in Week 15 against the Buccaneers, as Will Dissly has been ruled out due to a shoulder injury.
ANALYSIS
Dissly will sit out due to the shoulder injury he suffered on the final play of the first half in the Week 14 loss to Kansas City, while Hayden Hurst remains on injured reserve due to a hip injury. Those injuries leave Smartt and Tucker Fisk as the Chargers' only options at tight end against a Buccaneers defense that has allowed the second-most yards in the league to the position this season. Smartt worked ahead of Fisk after Dissly's injury against the Chiefs, finishing that game with three catches for 54 yards.
