Jonnu Smith enters 2025 poised for a larger role in Pittsburgh's offense. With MyCole Pruitt's departure, Smith's projected 56.44 receptions (TE20) could climb, backed by his 2.41 Yaco Per Rec (TE6) and 1.70 Yprr (TE8) efficiency. Arthur Smith's tight end-friendly scheme, emphasizing multi-TE sets, aligns perfectly with Jonnu's skill set, leveraging his 4.60 YAC per reception (TE11). Despite a modest 19.05% contested catch rate (TE19) and 0.91 aDOT (TE27), Smith's versatility in play-action and red-zone scenarios could boost his 135.20 projected fantasy points PPR (TE23). With minimal competition and injury concerns, Smith's snap share and production should see a notable uptick in 2025.
