Role could increase Smith could be in for an expanded workload after Michael Thomas suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 1 against Tampa Bay.

Impact As reported by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Thomas hasn't been ruled out for Week 2 against Las Vegas, but there's a chance he's forced to sit it out or is limited even if he does play. That would likely open things up for Smith, who saw just one reception for four yards on one target in Week 1.

Talked up by head coach Smith drew high praise from head coach Sean Payton in a recent press conference.

Impact "He's an important part of what we're doing offensively," Payton said, while noting that Smith came into training camp in shape and ready to play. It's an encouraging sound bite, but Smith will need to make it happen on the field as he looks to improve on the 18-234-5 receiving line he posted in 2019.
