Jaguars | DeAndre Smelter joins Jacksonville Fri Jun 15, 04:56 PM
Free-agent WR DeAndre Smelter (49ers) signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars Friday, June 15. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: A fourth-round pick of the 49ers in 2015 out of Georgia Tech, Smelter has only appeared in two games as a pro. At 6'2" 226 pounds, Smelter is a big target with great concentration. Injuries and inconsistencies have plagued his game, even dating back to his college days for the Yellow Jackets. He'll be hard pressed to make the 53-man roster for the Jaguars. |

49ers | DeAndre Smelter finding his way Thu Aug 3, 11:31 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR DeAndre Smelter is 'coming on' in recent practices, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area.
| Footballguys view: Smelter is the latest in a long line of size/speed prospects from Georgia Tech. He has a chance to make the team as the fifth receiver, and the only big receiver on the roster. |

49ers | DeAndre Smelter promoted Tue Dec 20, 11:40 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR DeAndre Smelter will be promoted to the 53-man roster, according to his agent, Tuesday, Dec. 20.
| Footballguys view: With Quinton Patton put on Injured Reserve, the 49ers needed to add talent at the position. Smelter is a big target with fantastic hand/eye coordination. Coming out of Georgia Tech in 2015, the 49ers picked up Smelter in the fourth round of the draft that year. He's smart, tough and drew comparisons coming out of college to Eric Decker (Jets). Smelter has been developing on the team's practice squad, and he's certainly a player we are monitoring in deep dynasty leagues. |

San Francisco 49ers WRs Eric Rogers (knee), DeAndre Smelter (hamstring) and Bryce Treggs (knee) were not at practice Monday, Aug. 22, as the team is a bit banged up at receiver and might need to sign a receiver for the remainder of the preseason.

49ers | DeAndre Smelter not likely for IR Wed Aug 17, 08:19 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR DeAndre Smelter (lower body) is still dealing with a soft-tissue injury but should play at some point this preseason. Placing him on injured reserve is not in discussion right now, according to general manager Trent Baalke.

49ers | DeAndre Smelter might lands on IR Mon Aug 15, 10:05 PM
Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers WR DeAndre Smelter (knee) missed the preseason opener Sunday, Aug. 14, and he struggled with a hamstring injury in the offseason program. Depending on the severity and prognosis of his condition, beat writer Matt Maiocco feels Smelter might be a candidate for the Reserve/Injured list or IR/Designated to Return list.
| Footballguys view: We can rule out Smelter playing a big role in the 49ers offense this year, and he's a marginal dynasty hold at this point. Bruce Ellington and Quinton Patton will be the receivers in three-wide sets with Torrey Smith. |

49ers | DeAndre Smelter is week-to-week Mon Aug 15, 05:31 PM

| Footballguys view: He's a big, fast WR from Georgia Tech so we're watching Smelter in deep dynasty leagues. This mystery ailment may keep him out of the game against the Broncos on Saturday. |

49ers | DeAndre Smelter better after sitting out Sat Jul 16, 12:21 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR DeAndre Smelter said he benefitted from sitting out and rehabbing his knee last year because he was able to observe and learn from WR Torrey Smith and WR Anquan Boldin.
| Footballguys view: A fourth-round pick out of Georgia Tech last year, Smelter has the toughness to make difficult catches over the middle of the field. He can create separation with football savvy, and Smelter is a force to be dealt with after the catch. We'll see if he can regain his speed and quickness after returning from his knee injury. Smelter also needs to become more familiar with the full route tree after running a limited route tree for the Yellow Jackets. |

49ers | DeAndre Smelter likely to make team Mon Jun 27, 04:25 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR DeAndre Smelter may be behind WR Eric Rogers on the depth chart, but he is still expected to make the final roster, according to Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com. Smelter is believed to be ahead of rookie WR Aaron Burbridge on the depth chart.
| Footballguys view: A fourth-round pick out of Georgia Tech in 2015, Smelter should be healthier this year as he was still recovering from an ACL he suffered in college last year as a rookie. Like all Georgia Tech WRs, Smelter is big, fast and physical. Let's see if he can be more like Calvin Johnson or Demaryius Thomas and less like Stephen Hill. We like Smelter in dynasty leagues, but re-draft owners should only keep his name on waiver-wire speed dial. |

49ers | Two players may miss 49ers' final roster Mon Jun 20, 02:18 PM
San Francisco 49ers WRs DeAndre Smelter and RB Mike Davis were left off the 53-man roster projection, according to ESPN.com's Michael Wagaman.
| Footballguys view: Davis is a player we've been monitoring in dynasty leagues. Carlos Hyde is the starter with the 49ers, and veteran Shaun Draughn should be his primary backup. If Davis wants to make the team, he'll have to prove that he's more valuable than DuJuan Harris or rookie Kelvin Taylor. |

49ers | DeAndre Smelter not limited Wed May 18, 06:27 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR DeAndre Smelter (knee) has been practicing without restrictions this offseason.
| Footballguys view: Good news as Smelter is coming off a December ACL tear. Smelter is a big-bodied receiver with good physicality who will give the Niners quarterback - whoever it ends up being - a big target to throw to on shorter routes. |

49ers | DeAndre Smelter expected to start on NFI list Fri Jul 10, 03:08 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR DeAndre Smelter (knee) is expected to begin training camp on the Non-Football Injury list, but the team believes he could be activated at some point during camp. Smelter is working his way back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
| Footballguys view: Smelter won't have a big opportunity this year with Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith starting, but Boldin might not be around after this year, and the size/speed freak from Georgia Tech would be poised to compete to start in 2016. If he is active Week 1, that will be a huge win for Smelter in his recovery. |

49ers | DeAndre Smelter agrees to terms Mon May 11, 10:27 PM
The San Francisco 49ers signed WR DeAndre Smelter to a contract Monday, May 11. Financial terms of the deal were undisclosed.
| Footballguys view: Smelter was a fourth-round pick by the 49ers in the 2015 NFL draft. He's a big, physical wide receiver who plays with a high football intelligence. Smelter suffered an ACL injury late last year, and his playing status for 2015 is up in the air. He's a developmental prospect worth keeping an eye on in dynasty leagues. |
