Irv Smith Jr. (hamstring) sidelined still for Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Irv Smith Jr. (hamstring) is not practicing on Thursday.

What It Means:

Smith is trending toward missing another game after sitting out back-to-back practices this week. Tanner Hudson, Drew Sample, and Mitchell Wilcox will likely share tight end snaps again in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans if Smith is inactive. They combined for 8 targets, 5 receptions, and 47 yards.

Smith has a $4,800 FanDuel salary and is the TE21 in numberFire's Week 4 PPR rankings. Our models project him for 5.4 FanDuel points, with 4.5 targets, 3.0 receptions, and 26.9 yards. The Titans' pass defense ranks 25th based on numberFire’s opponent-adjusted NEP model, but they allow the 11th-fewest FanDuel points per game to tight ends.
