Arian Smith Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Jets WR Josh Reynolds (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bills. Reynolds registered a 100% route rate in the opener, although he caught just 2 of 3 targets for 18 yards. WRs Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith, and perhaps Allen Lazard will pick up extra snaps with Reynolds out. But Garrett Wilson remains the only Jets WR that belongs in fantasy lineups.

The Jets selected Georgia WR Arian Smith with the 110th pick of Round Four in the 2025 NFL Draft. Across five seasons at Georgia, the 179-pounder tallied 19.7 yards per catch. Hiis overall body of work proved a bit underwhelming. Smith’s first four seasons turned up only 20 catches (albeit for 539 yards). 70.5% of his career catches and 60% of his career receiving yards came as a fifth-year senior. He popped with three games over 100 yards. He had a 9.20 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 41st among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 15.1%, and 48th among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with a 57.1. He is currently 23 years old. He ranked 38th among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 5.80. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Jacoby Ford. Smith’s size and shaky hands might place him in a part-time/gadget role.
