Erase that 0!: Jets edge Rams 23-20, avoid winless season
The New York Jets avoided a winless season with a 23-20 victory over the Los Angeles RamsDECEMBER 21, 2020
Sustains Week 15 shoulder injury Smith (shoulder) is considered questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Rams.
Impact After collecting a reception in three consecutive appearances between Weeks 11 and 14, the Boston College product remained without a reception upon his second-half exit. Given that Jamison Crowder, Breshad Perriman, Denzel Mims and Braxton Berrios were all active for the cross-conference showdown, Smith found himself relegated to the No. 5 slot in the WR pecking order.

Quiet in Mims' absence Smith caught one of two targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 40-3 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Smith saw extra work on the outside with Denzel Mims (personal) unavailable but didn't do much with the opportunity. He hasn't caught multiple passes in a game since Week 8 and is unlikely to reverse that trend in Week 15 against the Rams.

Held to one catch again Smith caught his only targets for seven yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Dolphins.
Impact Smith has caught more than one pass only three times this season and has failed to do so since Week 8. He'll likely remain an afterthought in New York's underwhelming passing game against the Raiders in Week 13.

One catch after bye Smith caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chargers.
Impact Smith has been a non-factor since the rest of New York's receiving corps healed up. He has topped 30 yards only once all season and will continue to work in a depth role against the Dolphins in Week 12.
NOVEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Nonfactor in Week 9 Smith wasn't targeted in Monday's 30-27 loss to the Patriots.
Impact Smith was relegated to the No. 5 wide receiver role with all three of Denzel Mims, Breshad Perriman and Jamison Crowder healthy for the first time. He played just two offensive snaps as a result and likely will remain a nonfactor moving forward barring further injuries up the depth chart.
NOVEMBER 10, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Eight targets in Week 8 loss Smith caught three of eight targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 35-9 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Smith's starting on the outside with the Jets beat up at wide receiver, but he hasn't demonstrated the skills necessary to make the most of these opportunities. Despite being targeted at least eight times on three different occasions this season, Smith has topped 30 yards only once. Even if New York doesn't get any of its injured receivers back against New England in Week 9, Smith's impact figures to remain minimal.

Jets likely without receivers Perriman, Crowder for Chiefs
The New York Jets are likely to be without their top two wide receivers when they play the Chiefs in Kansas City on SundayOCTOBER 30, 2020
No catches in Week 7 Smith failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Bills.
Impact Smith didn't get much attention from starting quarterback Sam Darnold, who threw for just 120 yards in his return from a shoulder injury. Fellow wide receiver Breshad Perriman exited with a possible concussion, so Smith could have a path to more playing time in Week 8 against the Chiefs, but he's unlikely to turn that potential increase in snaps into much production based on what we've seen from the Jets so far.

One catch in Miami Smith caught one of four targets in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Dolphins.
Impact Smith started on the outside opposite the returning Breshad Perriman (ankle) but did little with the opportunity. Chris Hogan (ankle) and Denzel Mims (hamstrings) are on IR, but the latter could be nearing a return and will likely push Smith down to a depth role at that point.

Jets befuddled after fifth loss in row, answers not coming
Coach Adam Gase seemed to be searching for the right words after the New York Jets dropped their fifth straight game to start the season, and not finding themOCTOBER 11, 2020
Does little with big volume Smith caught only three of 11 targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact After a big showing last week, Smith led the Jets in targets in this one, but the second-year receiver did very little with his opportunities. His workload over the last two games (20 targets) is primarily a result of Breshad Perriman (ankle) being unavailable, so there's no guarantee Smith's burst of relevance will continue in Week 6 against the Chargers.

WRs Jamison Crowder and Jeff Smith Impress in Return to Lineup QB Sam Darnold Collected 185 Yards on 14 Completions to the Two Receivers
OCTOBER 2, 2020 • NEWYORKJETS.COM
Strong showing in season debut Smith brought in seven of nine targets for 81 yards in the Jets' 37-28 loss to the Broncos on Thursday.
Impact The Boston College product had been activated off injured reserve earlier in the day, and he was put right to work with Breshad Perriman (ankle) out of action for Thursday's game. Smith, who recorded just one reception for 12 yards during his rookie 2019 campaign, ended up co-leading the team in catches alongside Jamison Crowder, while his receiving yardage tally checked in second only behind his teammate. It remains to be seen if this performance will garner Smith a solid role in a Week 5 home battle against the Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 11 even if Perriman is back in uniform for that contest.
