Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Buccaneers invested a third-round pick this April in Smith, who posted 140 tackles, including 21.5 for loss and five sacks, eight interceptions (including a pick-six) and a pair of forced fumbles over a 51-game college career at West Virginia and Georgia. The promising rookie will have the luxury of learning from the star safety tandem of Jordan Whitehead and Antoine Winfield, and while the veteran duo will block his path to meaningful snaps, Smith should begin laying a foundation for future IDP success.

Makes sizable impact in win

October 15, 2024
Smith recorded five tackles (three solo), an interception, an additional pass defensed and a forced fumble in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
A game after recording a career-high 11 stops during a Week 5 loss to the Falcons, Smith established another early career milestone by nabbing his first interception. The rookie third-round selection's pick of a Spencer Rattler pass intended for Rashid Shaheed at the Buccaneers' 36-yard line with 4:24 remaining essentially snuffed out any hope of a Saints comeback, especially since the ensuing possession culminated in Tampa Bay's final touchdown of the afternoon. Smith has quickly established himself as a playmaking presence in the team's talented secondary, and he's a rising IDP asset heading into a Week 7 home matchup against the Ravens on Monday night.
