DURHAM SMYTHE NEWS

First receiving touchdown of season Smythe secured his only target for a four-yard touchdown during Sunday's 30-15 win over the Texans.

Impact Smythe previously scored on the ground versus the Jets back in Week 5, but Sunday's blowout win over Houston provided the No. 2 tight end an opportunity to hit paydirt through the air. Of course, Sunday's score was also Smythe's only catch since Week 5, so he can safely be left off the fantasy radar heading into a tough Week 13 matchup against the 49ers.

Available against Browns Smythe (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Browns, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Smythe was limited during each of Miami's three practice sessions this week due to a hamstring injury, but he doesn't have an injury designation for Week 10. The 27-year-old hasn't had any receptions over the last three games.

Logs limited session Wednesday Smythe (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Smythe continues to battle a hamstring injury, but he's suited up for three straight games. He was limited during each practice ahead of Week 9, so despite reappearing on the injury report Wednesday, the reserve tight end is likely still on track to suit up Sunday against the Browns.

No designation for Sunday Smythe doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup in Chicago, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact Smythe was limited at each practice during Week 9 prep due to a lingering hamstring issue, but he'll suit up for a third straight contest after sitting out Week 6 due to the same injury. While the backup tight end has been able to play the last two games, he hasn't seen a target across 57 offensive snaps after securing six of seven targets for 50 yards through his first five appearances.

Limited Wednesday Smythe (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Smythe has appeared in back-to-back games since sitting out Week 6 due to a hamstring injury, but the issue continues to impact the tight end's ability to practice. Regardless, as long as he doesn't suffer a setback, he should be able to play through the injury for a third straight contest.

Active in Detroit Smythe (hamstring) is active Week 8 against the Lions.

Impact Smythe has been the primary backup tight end to Mike Gesicki this season, but he hasn't been particularly involved in the offense of late. Despite failing to log a full practice this week due to injury, he'll find himself as one of four active Miami tight ends on Sunday's game day roster.

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Lions Smythe (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Smythe logged limited practice Thursday and Friday after failing to practice Wednesday. While Smythe isn't much of a pass catcher himself, but his presence on the field would likely cut into the snaps and targets for fellow Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki.

OCTOBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited during practice Smythe (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Smythe has been hampered by a lingering hamstring injury, but after he missed Week 6 against the Vikings, he did suit up for Sunday's win over the Steelers. He was held out of practice Wednesday, so his return to the field Thursday is a good sign he's trending in the right direction for Week 8 against the Lions.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Wednesday Smythe (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact After missing Week 6 due to a hamstring injury, Smythe logged limited practices during Week 7 prep and was ultimately deemed available. It's unclear if he aggravated his previous issue, or if Miami is simply being cautious with the backup tight end. Regardless, Smythe will have two more opportunities to practice before the Dolphins need to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

OCTOBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Active in Week 7 Smythe (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Impact Smythe was limited at practice this past week after missing last Sunday's loss against the Vikings, but he'll return from a one-game absence to work in tandem with Mike Gesicki in Week 7. However, with just six catches (on seven targets) for 50 yards in five games to date, Smythe is off the fantasy radar as long as Gesicki remains the team's preferred pass-catching option at tight end.

OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Considered questionable Sunday Smythe (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Smythe was a limited participant in each of the Dolphins' three practice sessions this week, and his status for Sunday's primetime matchup is up in the air. He was unavailable for last week's matchup against the Vikings, and he'll likely split playing time with Mike Gesicki if he's available in Week 7.

OCTOBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Logs limited practice Smythe (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Smythe suffered the injury Week 5 against the Jets and sat out the team's Week 6 loss to the Vikings. He closed out last week with limited practices, so although his continued inability to log a full practice could be a cause for concern, he's at least not taking any steps backward. His status to close out the week will be worth watching for fantasy purposes, as although he has not been productive as a receiver, Mike Gesicki did see an uptick in snaps in Smythe's absence, and he posted his best game of the season statistically Sunday against the Vikings.

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't suit up Week 6 Smythe (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Impact Smythe has led all Miami tight ends with 169 snaps on offense this season, but the playing time hasn't translated to much volume in the passing game, as he's drawn just seven targets through five contests. His absence Week 6 is likely to hurt Miami more from a blocking standpoint, especially with starting left tackle Terron Armstead (toe) also inactive and with starting right tackle Austin Jackson (ankle) on injured reserve. The more pass-catching-oriented Mike Gesicki could pick up some extra snaps as a result of Smythe sitting out, but Gesicki will still be drawing targets from a third-string quarterback (Skylar Thompson) rather than No. 1 signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa (concussion/ankle), who is out for a second straight game.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Labeled questionable for Sunday Smythe (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Smythe didn't practice Wednesday and logged limited sessions Thursday and Friday, but he'll still have a chance to suit up in Week 6. The backup tight end has played at least 30 offensive snaps in each game this season, so his potential absence would likely thrust Tanner Conner and Hunter Long into increased roles.

OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Bumps up to limited Thursday Smythe (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After Smythe failed to participate in Wednesday's session due to a hamstring injury he picked up in Sunday's game against the Jets, the 6-foot-6 tight end returned to practice Thursday in a limited capacity. While Smythe's Week 6 availability versus the Vikings remains in question, fellow tight ends Mike Gesicki, Tanner Conner and Hunter Long would be expected to take on larger roles should the 27-year-old eventually be ruled out this weekend.

DNP on injury report Smythe (hamstring) did not participate during the Dolphins' practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Smythe was forced out with a hamstring injury during Miami's Week 5 loss to the Jets, though the exact nature of this issue is still unclear. His absence from practice Wednesday appears to indicate that this issue may affect his availability heading Sunday's game against the Vikings. Smythe caught six of seven targets for 50 yards through the first five games of the season, and his potential absence would lead to a bigger role for fellow tight end Mike Gesicki in Week 6.

Exits with injury Sunday Smythe (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets.

Impact Smythe caught one pass for eight yards before exiting with a hamstring injury at some point Sunday, leaving his return for the second half up in the air. With third-string tight end Hunter Long (coach's decision) inactive, expect Tanner Conner to step up into a larger role behind Mike Gesicki during this Week 5 contest.

Secures all three targets Smythe secured all three of his targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 21-19 win over the Bills.

Impact Smythe was more involved as a receiver than Mike Gesicki, who secured his lone target for six yards, but neither tight end was a focal point of Miami's offense in Week 3. Though Gesicki still has big-play upside, as he demonstrated Week 2 versus Baltimore, Smythe is best left on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues, except those that start multiple tight ends as a requirement.
