Arian Smith - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Seven receptions as rookie Smith finished his rookie 2025 season with seven catches for 52 yards on 16 targets while adding four carries for 13 yards. He also notched two kickoff returns for 49 yards and rec...

Impact Smith didn't make much of an impact on offense, as his longest catch went for 23 yards. In his limited action on that side of the ball, Smith primarily ran deep routes but didn't get much attention from the Jets' underwhelming stable of quarterbacks. The 2025 fourth-round pick should have little trouble holding onto a roster spot in 2026 thanks to his contributions as a gunner on special teams, but Smith would need to develop substantially as a receiver to earn fantasy consideration.

No catches in Week 16 Smith failed to haul in his lone target while playing seven of the Jets' 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.

Impact The rookie fourth-round pick has suited up for each of the Jets' last three games but remains an afterthought on offense. He's played single-digit snaps in each of those contests and owns an unremarkable 6-47-0 receiving line on 13 targets through 14 appearances on the campaign.

Blanks in Week 15 Smith didn't record a reception on two targets in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact Smith hadn't received a target in his previous four games and was unable to haul in either of his opportunities during Sunday's loss. The rookie wideout from Georgia has made 13 appearances this season, catching six of 12 targets for 47 tards while rushing three times for 11 yards. He's expected to remain a depth option in the Jets' receiving corps in the Week 16 matchup against the Saints.

Not playing Week 13 Smith (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Smith is a healthy scratch for the first time this season. He consistently logged significant offensive snap counts earlier in the season but has seen his playing time wane since New York traded for wideouts John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell. Given Smith's lack of production this season (six catches on 10 targets for 47 yards over 331 offensive snaps spanning 11 games), he may be getting phased out of New York's plans for game days.

Not targeted in Week 12 Smith rushed once for eight yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Smith hasn't seen many opportunities since the Jets traded for wide receivers John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell, as the rookie fourth-round pick has gone three consecutive games without a target. Smith has promising speed but hasn't exceeded two touches on offense in any game.

Blanked as snap share dips Week 11 Smith wasn't targeted in Thursday's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

Impact After leading all Jets wide receiver with a 67 percent snap share in Week 10, Smith was on the field for just nine snaps (16 percent) in Thursday's loss. Adonai Mitchell made his Jets debut and took over Smith's role as a field stretcher. Justin Fields hasn't shown much ability to complete passes more than a few yards downfield, so the Jets will likely continue to get minimal production through the air in the absence of Garrett Wilson (knee).

Leads Jets WRs in Week 10 snaps Smith wasn't targeted and had a 13-yard run in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns.

Impact Smith's 67 percent snap share led all Jets wide receivers in a game Garrett Wilson (knee) exited early, but the rookie fourth-round pick didn't see significant involvement as Justin Fields completed only six passes. Smith's run tied a 13-yard Fields scamper for the Jets' longest offensive play by anyone other than Breece Hall. If Wilson doesn't play Thursday against the Patriots, Smith would be in line for significant playing time, though that hasn't translated to many targets in the Jets' run-first offense.

Catches lone target in Week 8 win Smith caught his only target for 23 yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals.

Impact Smith's catch kick-started the Jets' game-winning drive in the fourth quarter. The rookie fourth-round pick seems unlikely to be used as anything more than an occasional deep target after the Jets' Week 9 bye considering he had just one target Sunday despite the absences of Garrett Wilson (knee) and Josh Reynolds (hip).

Non-factor in Wilson's absence Smith caught one of three targets for no gain in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Neither Justin Fields nor Tyrod Taylor showed any chemistry with Smith. The rookie fourth-round pick failed to capitalize on increased playing time in the absence of Garrett Wilson (knee). Smith was on the field for 56 of the Jets' 61 snaps on offense.

Goes without catch in Week 6 Smith didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Smith had one deep ball thrown his way, but Justin Fields failed to connect with the rookie speedster. That wasn't a surprising outcome considering Fields threw for only 45 yards in the game. Smith could get more involved in the offense against the Panthers in Week 7 if Garrett Wilson (knee) sits out or is limited.

One catch in Week 5 Smith caught his only target for 14 yards in Sunday's 37-22 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact The rookie wideout from Georgia played 42 offensive snaps and caught his lone target in the Week 5 loss, bringing his season totals to four catches for 24 yards across five games. Smith played behind Garrett Wilson (68 snaps) and Josh Reynolds (53 snaps) on Sunday, suggesting he could be operating as the team's No. 3 wideout. However, the increased playing time didn't translate to production, and he'll likely have a similar role in the Week 6 matchup against the Broncos.
