Smith was on the field for 40 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Texans, en route to catching both of his targets for 27 yards and rushing once for five yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Fellow tight end Hunter Henry also logged 40 snaps in the contest but was more active in the team's Week 5 passing attack, hauling in six of his eight targets for 75 yards and a TD. After recording nine catches over the Patriots' first two games, Smith has notched a total of six receptions in the team's three subsequent contests. Though the 26-year-old is capable of turning in a fantasy-worthy effort on any given week, operating in a timeshare makes him a hit-or-miss lineup option.
