Chargers' Stone Smartt: Set for significant playing bump
Smartt is set for a bump in playing time with Will Dissly (shoulder) likely out multiple weeks, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Hayden Hurst (hip) is technically eligible to return from injured reserve by Week 16, but given there's been zero updates regarding Hurst's health, Smartt effectively has a clear shot at the No. 1 tight end role with Dissly expected to be out. Smartt played a season-high 22 snaps Sunday at Kansas City and parlayed that into three receptions for 54 yards, mostly in the absence of Dissly. The 26-year-old has mainly been a rotational piece in his three-year career, but the 2022 undrafted free agent hasn't had this sort of opportunity to emerge as a fantasy relevant piece.

Chargers' Stone Smartt: Doubtful for Sunday
Smartt (ankle) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.
Smartt was unable to practice all week after likely sustaining an ankle injury in the Chargers' Week 8 win over the Saints, so it's no surprise that he's not expected to play Sunday. If the Old Dominion product is unable to suit up, the Chargers' tight end room will likely consist of Will Dissly, Hayden Hurst and Eric Tomlinson.

Chargers' Stone Smartt: Dealing with ankle issue
Smartt (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Smartt failed to record a stat while playing 16 special-teams snaps in the Chargers' Week 8 win over the Saints, but it now appears he picked up an ankle injury in the process. The third-year tight end from Old Dominion will almost certainly need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday to play in Sunday's matchup in Cleveland.

Chargers' Stone Smartt: Hauls in 31-yard reception
Smartt played seven of the Chargers' 66 snaps on offense and recorded one reception for 31 yards on two targets in Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals.
After failing to draw a target while playing just nine snaps on offense through the Chargers' first four games of the season, Smartt now has a reception in two straight contests. He's seen a slight uptick in playing time while Hayden Hurst (groin) missed all of Monday's game and most of the Week 6 win over the Broncos due to injury, but Smartt could see his snap counts take a hit once the Chargers' tight-end room is back to full strength.

Chargers' Stone Smartt: Hardly involved in loss
Smartt caught two of his three targets for 14 yards in the 13-12 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Smartt played 294 offensive snaps in 2023, often filling in for Donald Parham as the team's No. 2 tight end when the big-bodied target was injured. The second-year undrafted free agent hasn't done much in the NFL to date, and it's possibly Smartt's roster spot could be in jeopardy next season as the Chargers undergo a complete transformation in the front office and coaching staff.

Chargers' Stone Smartt: Active for season finale
Smartt (shoulder) isn't among the Chargers' inactives for Sunday's matchup against Kansas City.
A shoulder issue kept Smartt to a pair of limited practice sessions to begin Week 18 prep, but his outlook improved with a full practice Friday. The second-year tight end entered Sunday deemed questionable to suit up, but he's ultimately been cleared to play. Smartt should thus fill his usual role as Gerald Everett's backup against the Chiefs.

Chargers' Stone Smartt: Limited participant again
Smartt (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice for the second day in a row Thursday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Chargers' Stone Smartt: Snares three passes
Smartt caught all three of his targets for 15 yards in Thursday's 63-21 loss to the Raiders.
With Donald Parham (shoulder) out, Smartt saw a jump in playing time and benefitted to the tune of a career-high three receptions, but the massive blowout also played a factor in the extra workload. It's hard to imagine Smartt being utilized frequently, so long as Parham and Gerald Everett are both healthy.

Chargers' Stone Smartt: Healthy scratch
Smartt (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Broncos, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Smartt will be the odd man out at tight end for the Chargers after appearing in all 12 games for the team this season. The team will opt to dress Nick Vannett and Stephen Anderson as their No. 3 and No. 4 tight ends behind Gerald Everett and Donald Parham, respectively.
