2025 Fantasy Outlook
The new anchor of the Dallas offensive line following Zack Martin's retirement, Smith has developed into one of the best guards in the league. The 24th overall pick in the 2022 Draft has missed only four games in his first three NFL seasons, and his importance to Dak Prescott's protection scheme only increases while left tackle Tyler Guyton endures some growing pains.

Signed a four-year, $96 million contract with the Cowboys in September of 2025.
Facing surgery, position change
Smith will have his knee injury evaluated by team doctors to determine whether surgery is needed, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith sustained a knee injury during training camp in August, though he managed to start in 16 regular-season games despite being a mainstay on the Cowboys' injury report. He could have surgery during the offseason to help with his recovery, but he could also be looking at a position change from left guard to left tackle after filling in for Tyler Guyton (ankle) at the latter position, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com. It looks to be a busy offseason for Smith, who signed a four-year, $96 million contract extension with Dallas in mid-September.

Taken 24th overall in the 2022 Draft, Smith has settled in at left guard for the Cowboys after bouncing between guard and tackle as a rookie. Smith will team with 2024 first-round pick Tyler Guyton to form a very young, but impressively talented, left side of the Dallas offensive line.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Next in line for extension
Smith is likely to be the next Cowboy to get a contract extension, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
After failing to reach a deal with Micah Parsons and trading him to Green Bay, Dallas quickly turned around and inked cornerback DaRon Bland to a four-year extension this week, and Smith could be the next young player locked up. The 2022 first-round pick has developed into one of the best interior offensive linemen in the league, earning Pro Bowl honors at left guard in each of the last two seasons.
