2011

The blocking tight end signed a three-year contract extension with the Raiders this offseason, so his roster spot behind starter Jared Cook appears to be secure. Smith is slated to compete for snaps with Derek Carrier, so don't expect either to reach fantasy relevance for as long as Cook remains healthy.

Smith, who suffered a season-ending leg injury in October of 2016, notched just six receptions for 29 yards on six targets through the Raiders' first four contests. At 6-6 and over 260 pounds, the 29-year-old serves primarily as a blocking tight end, so Jared Cook's arrival won't have much of an impact on his usual involvement in the offense. Smith won't reach fantasy relevance in most formats, but he'll provide real-life value as a blocker next to Oakland's already impressive offensive line.

Smith hasn't topped 12 receptions nor 78 yards receiving in any one of his five-season career, and that may be since his daunting 6-6, 265 pound frame profiles him as more of a blocking specialist than receiving threat. With Clive Walford and Mychal Rivera both more capable in the passing game, Smith is unlikely to suddenly become a fantasy option in 2016.

Smith is entering his first season in Oakland after playing the first four years of his career with the Bills. The 27-year pass-catcher hauled in just 20 passes in those four years combined and will likely end up as the third-string tight end if he makes the Raiders' 53-man roster.

Smith will compete with Chris Gragg as the third tight end on this roster. As such, he is not expected to be a source of fantasy production.

Smith is more of a traditional blocking tight end than a receiver. He is not expected to be a contributor to fantasy in 2013.

Smith might make the team, but he's well below Scott Chandler in the pecking order for passes. And even if Chandler were to get hurt, Smith is known more for his good blocking skills than anything he can offer in the passing game.

Smith, who figures to earn most of his keep as a blocker, adds another young prospect to a New England TE corps that added pass-catching threats Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez last season. He'll essentially replace Alge Crumpler. UPDATE: Smith was waived by the Patriots and claimed by the Bills a day later, where he'll work as a third tight end to start.
