Donut in the receiving column
Smith failed to bring in his only target in the Saints' 26-20 overtime wild-card loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: The boom-or-bust wideout busted in a big way in Sunday's loss, drawing only one target and ending with a goose egg in the receiving column. In his second year with New Orleans, Smith scored five times, matching that total from his rookie campaign. Despite the touchdowns, Smith failed to surpass 20 yards receiving six times in the regular season, including two games in which he was held without a catch. Smith played in just 11 games in 2019, and he'll look to get healthy and take the next step…read more

Biggest game of the season
Smith caught all five of his targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 42-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Smith ends the regular season with his highest receiving output of the 2019 campaign. In the final eight games of the season, Smith produced 13 receptions for 159 receiving yards and four touchdowns, including three scores in the final four weeks. Despite the lowly production on the year, Smith has developed into a trusted red-zone option for Drew Brees.

Catches one ball in win
Smith brought in one of two targets for 13 yards in the Saints' 38-28 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: Smith snapped his scoring streak at two games, failing to cross the end zone in Sunday's win. Though he produced touchdowns in three of his last four games, Smith's hot streak was bound to subside given his low target volume and output. The second-year man out of UCF has only accounted for one game of more than 30 receiving yards in 2019, giving him a rock-bottom basement.

Scores again in win
Smith caught his only target for a 21-yard touchdown in the Saints' 34-7 win over the Colts on Monday.
Analysis: Smith scored his third touchdown in four games and has now crossed the goal line in back-to-back contests. Apparently fully recovered from an ankle injury that cost him five games earlier in the season, he's become a viable scoring option for Drew Brees in the receiving game late in the year. Despite the scores, Smith has totaled just six receptions for 77 yards on 10 targets in his last four games, making him difficult to trust for fantasy purposes.

Scores late touchdown
Smith caught two of four targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 48-46 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: He caught his second touchdown in three weeks, though he was only targeted four times on a day Drew Brees tossed 40 passes. Smith looked like he was going to be the hero of an intense shootout, crossing the goal line with just over 50 seconds remaining in the contest to put New Orleans up 46-45. Instead, the Niners marched down the field and kicked a game-winning field goal as time expired, spoiling New Orleans' comeback. Smith's arrow has been trending up over the last several weeks, but he's…read more

Catches two passes in win
Smith caught both of his targets for 14 yards in the Saints' 26-18 win over the Falcons on Thursday.
Analysis: As usual, Smith was a non-factor Thursday, seeing just two targets on the night. The game brings his season receiving line to 9/115/2, and Smith can't be trusted in fantasy lineups.

Crosses goal line in win
Smith brought in one of three targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 34-31 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Smith crossed the goal line for the first time since Week 1, though his touchdown grab was his only look from Drew Brees. Smith started the year on solid footing, but in four games played since Week 2, he's accounted for just 26 receiving yards and a touchdown on two receptions. He's seen a meager 11 targets through six games this season and doesn't belong on fantasy rosters outside the deepest of leagues.

Held without a catch
Smith failed to bring in his lone target in the Saints' 34-17 blowout victory over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: It was a disappointing effort for Smith, despite playing one of the league's worst pass defenses. He's now totaled just one reception for 13 yards in his last three games played and is clearly an afterthought in the Saints' offensive gameplan. Smith still has the ability to get loose for a big play, but fantasy owners can't count on that most weeks.

Held to just one catch
Smith caught one of two targets for 13 receiving yards during Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: In his return from a three-game, injury-induced absence, Smith's disappointing 2019 campaign continued as the Saints were held without a passing touchdown for the third time this season. If a second wide receiver has not emerged in the Saints' passing attack yet this season, one has to wonder if it will ever happen. Outside of Michael Thomas' performance, Sunday's showing was one of the weakest of the year for the New Orleans' receiving corps, as all other Saints wide receivers besides Thomas…read more

Practices in full
Smith (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Smith didn't practice in any capacity leading up to New Orleans' bye week, but he now appears back to full health. After a promising rookie season, Smith has had an injury-plagued 2019 campaign, appearing in just three contests while hauling in all five of his targets for 75 yards and one touchdown. The second-year pro will look to get on track against the Falcons' struggling defense in Week 10.

Missing fifth consecutive game
Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: A non-participant throughout the week of practice, Smith will be inactive for the fifth time this season, leaving Austin Carr as the No. 3 receiver behind Michael Thomas and Ted Ginn. The Saints have a Week 9 bye coming up.

No reps at practice Thursday
Smith (ankle) has held out of practice Thursday.
Analysis: There's no telling when Smith will complete his recovery from an ankle injury, but he may be destined for a fifth absence in six games with no practice reps yet this week. If the preceding comes to pass, he'll have the Saints' bye week to continue his rehab without a game on the immediate horizon.

Not practicing Wednesday
Smith (ankle) was held out of practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Smith has played in just one game since suffering an ankle injury Week 2, and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight to his recovery. If he's unable to make the requisite progress and suit up Sunday versus the Cardinals, he'll have the Saints' ensuing bye week to continue the rehab process with an eye toward a return.

Not ready to play
Smith (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against the Bears, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: The Saints have managed just fine without their second-year receiver, but they'd probably like to have him in the lineup Sunday with both Alvin Kamara (ankle/knee) and Jared Cook (ankle) ruled out. Smith hasn't practiced since Week 5 and could miss time beyond Sunday.

Sidelined for practice
Smith (ankle) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Smith hasn't practiced since injuring his ankle in the Week 5 win over the Buccaneers and looks to be trending toward his fourth absence of the season Friday in Chicago. If that's the case, Austin Carr and Lil'Jordan Humphrey could split No. 3 receiver duties again, but that duo has combined to draw only one target across 144 offensive snaps this season.

Smith (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Smith has battled a plethora of injuries this season. An ankle issue caused him to sit out Week 6 versus Jacksonville, and he hasn't yet made tangible progress in his recovery. Alvin Kamara (ankle/knee) and Jared Cook (ankle) were also unable to practice Wednesday.

Missing another game
Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Jacksonville, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Smith has been plagued by injuries this season, making just three appearances to date. The setbacks have resulted in just five catches (on five targets) for 75 yards and a TD, all of them coming in Weeks 1 and 2. With Smith sidelined, Ted Ginn will remain the unquestioned second wide receiver in the Saints offense behind Michael Thomas.

Can't practice Wednesday
Smith (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Smith has been managing a lingering ankle issue since Week 2. He was cleared for Sunday's win over the Buccaneers after having missed the previous two contests, but he was ultimately forced off the field due to an apparent aggravation of the injury. Before exiting, Smith played 19 snaps on offense but didn't make a mark in the box score.

Injures ankle Week 5
Smith left Sunday's contest versus the Buccaneers with an ankle injury, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Smith didn't impact the box score before his departure, when he was deemed doubtful to return with just minutes left in the game. Considering he was playing for the first time since suffering an ankle issue Week 2, the Saints may be forced to consider another stretch of rehab and recovery for the second-year wide receiver.

Cleared for return
Smith (ankle) doesn't have a designation on the final injury report for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Smith will return from a two-week absence, joining Michael Thomas and Ted Ginn in three-wideout formations. The second-year receiver was a full practice participant Friday, following limited sessions the previous two days. Smith was far more interesting for fantasy purposes before Drew Brees suffered a thumb injury.

Smith (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Smith was active back-to-back days for the first time since injuring his ankle during a Week 2 loss to the Rams.

Returns to practice
Smith (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: A lingering ankle injury caused Smith to miss the last two weeks of practice, but he's now made tangible progress in his recovery and is participating in a limited capacity. It's certainly a step in the right direction for the 2018 third-round pick, and if Smith is able to progress to full participation in practice before the end of the week, he'll likely suit up for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers.

Limited to begin week
Smith (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Smith has missed two straight games due to his ankle injury, but he appears to be progressing in his recovery. As long as the second-year wideout is unable to go, expect Austin Carr to fill in as the No. 3 receiver in New Orleans. If Smith is able to upgrade to a full practice Thursday or Friday, it'll bode well for his chances of suiting up Week 5 versus the Buccaneers.

Analysis: A spectator for the second practice in a row, Smith isn't looking especially likely to make it back in action Sunday against Dallas.

Smith (ankle) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Smith was removed in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 27-9 loss to the Rams with an ankle injury, and X-rays were ordered up. While the exam presumably happened, coach Sean Payton wouldn't provide an update on Smith's status Monday, per the Saints' official site. With no clarification on the nature of the issue, Smith's practice reps, or lack thereof, will indicate whether he has a chance to suit up Week 3 in Seattle.

Will get X-rays on ankle
The injury that knocked Smith out of Sunday's game against the Rams was to his ankle, and coach Sean Payton said after the game that Smith will require X-rays, Luke Johnson of USA Today reports.
Analysis: There should be greater clarification on Smith's timetable once the results of the exam are known. His injury was just one of many setbacks in what was a rough day for the Saints -- quarterback Drew Brees had to leave the game with a hand injury and New Orleans got the short end of the stick with yet another officiating blunder in what turned into a 27-9 loss.

Scores short TD in win
Smith hauled in both of his targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 30-28 win over the Texans on Monday.
Analysis: As was the case last season, the vertical threat was not heavily utilized in the passing game, though he did manage to score on one of his two grabs. Drew Brees bought time with his feet and rolled out, leaving Smith to get open in the back of the end zone. Smith played a distant fourth in targets to Michael Thomas (13), Alvin Kamara (eight) and Ted Ginn Jr. (seven), and he's best reserved as a tournament play in daily fantasy and a bye-week fill-in for season-long lineups, rather than a steady…read more

Contributes 16 receiving yards
Smith caught two of his three targets for 16 yards during Friday's 34-25 preseason loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Smith tied for third on the team in targets but did little of note outside of a 12-yard gain in the first half. He currently sits third on the depth chart behind Michael Thomas and Ted Ginn, but this performance did little to change that, especially when considering Drew Brees didn't play. Smith will look to do more with his opportunities in the next contest against the Chargers.

Expected to improve in Year 2
Head coach Sean Payton suggested Smith is primed to "take a big step in his development", The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: It's probably just coachspeak, but the Saints have yet to add a receiver this offseason save for tight end Jared Cook. The 2018 third-round pick put together a solid rookie campaign, tallying 28 receptions and 427 receiving yards along with five touchdowns, proving to be a viable red-zone threat when Drew Brees and company took to the air (Smith was second behind Michael Thomas in receiving touchdowns). It's quite possible Smith could wind up jumping Tedd Gin Jr. on the depth chart depending on…read more

Roller coaster rookie year
Smith, who caught three passes for 30 yards and a touchdown in the meaningless season finale, finished the season with 28 receptions on 44 targets for 427 yards and five touchdowns in 15 games in 2018.
Analysis: At 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, Smith's intriguing combination of speed and size led to him being drafted by the Saints in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Playing behind Ted Ginn Jr. to begin the season, the rookie receiver was quiet the first few games. But, after Ginn succumbed to a knee injury, Smith broke out on the national stage in Week 5, scoring twice on Monday Night Football as quarterback Drew Brees became the NFL's all-time leader in passing yards. With Ginn on injured reserve, Smith…read more

Expecting a busy Week 17
Smith expects to handle a sizable workload Sunday against Carolina, Josh Katzenstein of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. "With Ted [Ginn] being down this week, I'm going to be taking the majority of the load," Smith said after Friday's practice.
Analysis: Smith's comment provides a strong hint that the Saints plan to rest Ginn, not to mention top target Michael Thomas and star running back Alvin Kamara. With Teddy Bridgewater already confirmed as the starter, it makes sense for players like Smith, Keith Kirkwood and RB Dwayne Washington to get most of the snaps while the team's starters get some rest before the playoffs. The rookie third-round pick made some noise during the middle part of the season, but he's caught just three passes in four…read more

Disappoints again
Smith caught his lone target to total 11 yards in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Smith's disappointing second half continued as he commanded only one target for the third time in four weeks. The return of Ted Ginn only loosens Smith's hold on his role in the offense, making it likely he concludes his rookie campaign in a disappointing manner. That said, he showed plenty of potential thought the season, with his performance spiking in Weeks 5 and 11 when he topped 100 yards and also found the end zone.

Smith caught two of four targets for 15 yards during Monday's 12-9 win over Carolina.
Analysis: The outing snapped a two-game catchless streak for Smith, but it probably wasn't the rebound fans were hoping for. The issues aren't just with Smith. The Saints have not been the same team since Week 12's beatdown of the Eagles -- with a 10-point outing against Dallas in Week 13 and Sunday's uneven performance.

Disappearing act continues
Smith failed to bring in his only target in Sunday's win against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Despite playing 41 of the Saints' 64 offensive snaps, Smith was held without a catch for the second consecutive week. Perhaps the toe injury that kept him out of the Saints' Week 12 tilt is still bothering him, but over the last couple weeks, Smith has not looked like the player who exploded for 10 catches and 157 yards in Week 11. He will be a very risky option against the Panthers next week.

Small impact against Cowboys
Smith failed to bring in his only target during Thursday's 16-10 loss to Dallas.
Analysis: The Saints offense was largely silenced by a strong Cowboys defense, though Smith could've helped get things going had he not dropped what looked like an easy touchdown. After averaging 5.2 targets over his previous five healthy games, Smith should be in store for a larger workload during a juicy Week 14 matchup against a Buccaneers defense allowing the second-most yards per pass attempt (8.7) in 2018.

Analysis: Smith missed the Saints' Week 12 win over the Falcons with the foot injury but his presence at practice to start the week is a promising sign. The 22-year-old began preparations for last week's game as a non-participant in practice, so he's seemingly in better shape this time around.

Smith (toe) is inactive for Thursday's contest against the Falcons.
Analysis: Despite managing just one limited practice this week, Smith expressed confidence about his ability to suit up, telling Mike Triplett of ESPN.com on Wednesday, "In my eyes, I'm playing tomorrow." The Saints apparently didn't see eye to eye with Smith and will keep the rookie wide receiver on the sideline, likely to avoid a setback with his toe injury in the second of two games in five days. With numerous targets up for grabs, look for Keith Kirkwood and Austin Carr to step up at wide receiver.

Smith (foot), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Falcons, said he feels good and expects to be available for the contest, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports. "In my eyes, I'm playing [Thursday]," Smith said.
Analysis: The rookie's status for Thanksgiving Day appeared shaky after he was unable to practice Tuesday and put forth only a limited showing in what was presumably a light practice Wednesday. Smith's comments after practice paint a more optimistic picture of his availability for Thanksgiving Day, but confirmation on that front may not arrive until the Saints release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Thursday's 8:20 p.m. EST kickoff.

Smith (foot) was a non-participant at practice Tuesday, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Smith was originally listed as a limited participant when the Saints first released their injury report Tuesday afternoon, but instead he apparently sat out practice for the second straight day. Wednesday's practice session should provide a clearer idea of the 22-year-old's availability for the Thanksgiving matchup against the Falcons.

Officially limited Tuesday
Smith (foot) was officially listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice session, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Coming off a season- and career-best 10-catch performance against the Eagles, Smith was not present at the portion of practice open to the media Tuesday, so he apparently entered the mix later on when the practice was closed off. It's a slightly more encouraging sign for the rookie wideout after he was a non-participant in Monday's estimated session. Smith's status Wednesday should provide a better outlook on his availability for the Turkey Day matchup with the Falcons.

Not seen at practice
Smith (foot) wasn't present for the portion of Tuesday's practice that was available to the media, Rod Walker of The New Orleans Advocate reports.
Analysis: Smith had also been listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice report, but that was merely an estimate with the Saints getting a well-deserved day off following their 48-7 trouncing of the Eagles over the weekend. The rookie wideout turned in a breakthrough performance in the contest with 10 receptions for 157 yards and a score on 13 targets, but he apparently hurt his foot along the way. The extent of Smith's setback isn't fully known, but if he remains absent from Wednesday's practice,…read more

Tending to foot injury
Smith (foot) was listed as a non-participant on the Saints' estimated injury report Monday.
Analysis: The Saints didn't hold practice Monday, but Smith wouldn't have participated if the team had held drills due to a foot injury. As a result, his status bears monitoring as New Orleans prepares to host the Falcons on Thursday evening, especially on the heels of a 10-157-1 line on 13 targets this past Sunday versus the Eagles.

Breaks out in win
Smith reeled in 10 of 13 targets for 157 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-7 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Smith was everywhere in the blowout victory, repeatedly making big plays and leading the team in targets and catches by a good margin in the process. The rookie came back on a couple of underthrown balls to make receptions during the game and held on despite taking a big hit that drew a defenseless-receiver penalty on his touchdown catch in the second quarter. Perhaps feeling the squeeze on his playing time after the recent signing of Brandon Marshall, Smith will look to keep the momentum going…read more

Not targeted Week 10
Smith was not targeted in Sunday's win against the Bengals.
Analysis: Despite playing 61 of the Saints' 75 offensive snaps, Smith did not have a pass thrown his way in a game where New Orleans scored 51 points on the hapless Cincinnati defense. The Saints attempted just 27 passes, as the team gained 244 yards on 47 carries, but Smith's lack of usage has to be frustrating for fantasy owners. The talented rookie continues to have a high ceiling in the Saints' high-scoring offense, but with Drew Brees willing to spread the ball around, Smith remains prone to weekly…read more

Catches touchdown
Smith had two catches on three targets for 23 yards, including a four-yard touchdown, in Sunday's win against the Rams.
Analysis: With Michael Thomas drawing a whopping 15 targets, no other Saint saw more than five targets. Smith, however, managed to make his limited opportunities count, as his touchdown came on a nice grab of a Drew Brees fastball in the second quarter. Still, Smith has not quite emerged as many owners had hoped in the wake of Ted Ginn being placed on injured reserve. Outside of his 111-yard, two-touchdown performance Week 5, Smith has totaled just eight catches for 85 yards in the other three games that…read more
