Week 8 vs. Washington Redskins
Irv Smith Jr. had somewhat of a breakout game last week, finishing with 60 yards off of five receptions. He played a season-high 56% of the offensive snaps for Minnesota as Kyle Rudolph played a season-low 75%. Smith should get more looks with Adam Thielen injured, but he's still a risky play. If you're desperate for a tight end this week, Smith could be a sneaky start, but we wouldn't force Smith into your lineup.
