2023 Fantasy Outlook
Smith served as the Panthers' third wide receiver for most of last season. Playing all 17 games, he caught 22 of 41 targets for 296 yards and two touchdowns. He also returned 23 punts for 143 yards but lost a fumble. Heading into his third NFL campaign, Smith finds himself with increased competition for playing time, with veteran Damiere Byrd's addition potentially threatening Smith's roster spot altogether.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Cut candidate for Carolina
WRCarolina Panthers
July 2, 2023
Joseph Person of The Athletic predicts that Smith will fail to make Carolina's 53-man roster.
ANALYSIS
Person believes the battle for the final wide receiver spot will come down to Smith against Marquez Stevenson and Damiere Byrd, with Stevenson getting the edge. All three will likely get a chance to return punts during the preseason, and whoever impresses most in that capacity should make the team.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Smith played in six games after being drafted in the sixth round last year. He caught 6 of 11 targets for 104 yards as a rookie and will hope to secure a depth receiving and special teams role in 2022.
Drafted in the sixth round this year out of South Carolina, Smith profiles as a slot receiver for the Panthers. Standing just 5-9, 186, he will rely on toughness and route running to make an impact, but with Robby Anderson, DJ Moore, David Moore and Terrace Marshall all likely ahead of him on the depth chart, his opportunities as a rookie could be limited.
