Arian Smith

23-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Smith was selected 110th overall by the Jets in the 2025 NFL Draft after leading Georgia with 841 receiving yards in 2024. His 4.36 speed brings a unique element to a Jets offense with a wide open WR depth chart behind Garrett Wilson, but Smith had an SEC-worst 10 drops in his final college season. Smith could carve out a prominent role right away if he curbs the drops, or he could be stuck behind some combination of Allen Lazard, Josh Reynolds, Malachi Corley, Tyler Johnson and Xavier Gipson.

Catchless in preseason finale
WRNew York Jets
August 22, 2025
Smith didn't catch his only target and rushed once for 10 yards in Friday's 19-17 preseason loss to the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Smith had a quiet finish to his preseason, and the fact he suited up Friday while the Jets rested their starters suggests the rookie fourth-round pick will begin his career in a depth role. Smith can add a unique element to the Jets' passing game with his deep speed, but he struggled with drops at Georgia and likely won't be a key contributor out of the gate despite the team's lack of an established No. 2 wide receiver behind Garrett Wilson.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In line for role as rookie
WRNew York Jets
August 26, 2025
Smith will be counted on to add explosiveness to the Jets' wide receiver corps in 2025, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jets have unproven pass catchers behind Garrett Wilson after parting ways with Malachi Corley, a third-round pick in 2024. That move shows confidence in Smith, who is known for his speed but also his struggles with catching the ball consistently. Smith may not put up big numbers, but as a downfield threat he could help clear up the short and middle areas of the field for Wilson and rookie tight end Mason Taylor.
