Little action in OT loss Smythe failed to secure his lone target during Sunday's overtime loss to the Raiders.
Impact Smythe occupies a clear back seat behind top receiving tight end Mike Gesicki, who earned 12 targets from fill-in quarterback Jacoby Brissett in Week 3. Though the fourth-year pro has proven a relatively capable receiver when called upon, the presence of Gesicki deprives him from any chance at seeing regular opportunities. Even in most fantasy formats that feature multiple starting TEs, Smythe can safely be left to the waiver wire.

Impact Smythe took a major step forward as a receiver in 2020 with 26 catches for 208 yards and two touchdowns, eclipsing the total production from his first two years in the league. However, Smythe and Gesicki are both entering the final seasons of their rookie contracts, which may have prompted the Dolphins to select Long in the third round. Gesicki has 104 receptions for 1,273 yards and 11 touchdowns over the past two years and is a prime extension candidate, while Smythe will need to hold off Long in order to remain Miami's No. 2 tight end.

Solid end to season Smythe caught all three of his targets for 23 yards during Week 17's 56-26 loss to the Bills.
Impact Smythe handled his usual role in the passing game behind Mike Gesicki during last Sunday's blowout loss, while also contributing as a blocker in the running game. Through 15 games in 2020, Smythe caught 26 of 29 targets for 208 yards and two targets. He stands to reprise a similar gig during the 2021 campaign, while playing out the final year of his rookie deal with the Dolphins.
JANUARY 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Just two grabs in Las Vegas Smythe secured both of his targets for six yards during Saturday's 26-25 win over the Raiders.
Impact Smythe returned to a depth role with Mike Gesicki back in the lineup, but the absence of DeVante Parker (hamstring) still allowed him to see a slight uptick in opportunities. He'll handle a similar role against the Bills in Week 17.
DECEMBER 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Leads team in receiving Smythe secured all five of his targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 22-12 win over the Patriots.
Impact Smythe's stat line wouldn't normally be too notable, but with all of DeVante Parker (hamstring), Mike Gesicki (shoulder) and Jakeem Grant (hamstring) sidelined, his 40 yards were enough to pace Miami's receiving corps. If Gesicki can't return in time for Miami's Dec. 26 road game against the Raiders, Smythe and Adam Shaheen will both be in line to handle increased roles again.
DECEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Makes two grabs again Smythe hauled in two of three targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Smythe once again played a depth role while Mike Gesicki (5-65-2) was showcased as Miami's clear No. 1 receiving tight end, logging his second straight game with two catches. However, Gesicki was forced out late due to a shoulder injury and may be forced to miss time. If Gesicki does end up sitting out Week 15's game against New England, Smythe and Adam Shaheen would both be candidates to handle increased workloads.
DECEMBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Hauls in two passes Smythe caught both of his targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 19-7 win over the Bengals.
Impact Smythe only has one game all season in which he exceeded two catches, Week 13 against the Jets. He had just three grabs then. While the Dolphins occasionally scheme Smythe looks in the red zone, those opportunities come too infrequently to make up for his low fantasy floor.
DECEMBER 7, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Three grabs versus Jets Smythe caught all three of his targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Jets.
Impact Smythe has now recorded a catch in six of his last seven games, confirmation that his involvement on offense (albeit in a depth capacity) hasn't been a fluke. Still, his lack of consistent volume and scoring upside keeps him off the fantasy radar as a streaming option in most formats.
NOVEMBER 30, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Nabs second TD of season Smythe caught both of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 29-21 win over the Chargers.
Impact Smythe doesn't see targets with the same regularity as Mike Gesicki, and Adam Shaheen has shown superior deep and intermediate abilities, but the second-year pro is establishing himself as an option in the red zone. He'll look to continue establishing chemistry with Tua Tagovailoa at Denver in Week 11.

Good to go Sunday Smythe (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Impact The 25-year-old suffered the concussion last week against the Cardinals, but he cleared the concussion protocol in time for Sunday's contest. Smythe should fill his usual role as Miami's No. 2 tight end.
NOVEMBER 15, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable after full practice Smythe (concussion) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Impact Smythe's trending in the right direction, as he practiced fully Friday following limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. It's unclear if Smythe has cleared the concussion protocol yet, but he'll have to do so in order to have any chance of playing Sunday. Adam Shaheen would see some extra snaps behind Mike Gesicki if Smythe can't go on game day.
