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.

Held catchless Week 4 Smith was not targeted during the Jets' 27-21 loss to the Dolphins on Monday.

Impact Smith saw his offensive snap count dip to 29 in large part due to the return of Josh Reynolds, who played 42 snaps on offense. Monday marked the second time in four games that Smith did not register a catch, and the rookie fourth-rounder is firmly behind Lazard and Garrett Wilson on the Jets' wideout depth chart.

Two catches vs. Tampa Bay Smith caught both of his targets for two yards during Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact With Josh Reynolds (hamstring) sidelined for the Jets' Week 3 loss, Smith played a career-high 48 offensive snaps. However, his increased workload didn't translate to production, as the rookie from Georgia was targeted just twice. Through his first three NFL games, the 23-year-old has posted three catches for 10 yards and one carry for minus-10 yards. The Jets' wide receiver corps is largely unproven outside of Garrett Wilson, so Smith's role could continue to grow in the Jets' Week 4 matchup against the Dolphins.

Impact Smith was the only Jets wide receiver other than Garrett Wilson to log a catch in the absence of Josh Reynolds (hamstring). It was the first catch of Smith's NFL career, as the rookie fourth-round pick was blanked in his regular-season debut against the Steelers in Week 1.

Not targeted in NFL debut Smith wasn't targeted and had a 31-yard kickoff return in Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Smith got the final kickoff return opportunity of the game for the Jets after Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) got hurt and Xavier Gipson lost a costly fumble on a kickoff return. Smith's speed could help the rookie fourth-round pick out of Georgia factor in as a deep threat on offense down the line, but his contributions will likely be limited primarily to special teams early on.

Catchless in preseason finale Smith didn't catch his only target and rushed once for 10 yards in Friday's 19-17 preseason loss to the Eagles.

Impact Smith had a quiet finish to his preseason, and the fact he suited up Friday while the Jets rested their starters suggests the rookie fourth-round pick will begin his career in a depth role. Smith can add a unique element to the Jets' passing game with his deep speed, but he struggled with drops at Georgia and likely won't be a key contributor out of the gate despite the team's lack of an established No. 2 wide receiver behind Garrett Wilson.
