Tykee Smith enters Week Two after making an active contribution during Tampa Bay’s season opener.
Smith recorded four tackles and one pass breakup against Cincinnati. He also played an important role in a secondary facing Joe Burrow and the Bengals.
Now Smith gets a different challenge against Cleveland at Raymond James Stadium.
Predicted Stat Line for Tykee Smith vs Cleveland
- Tackles: 4-8
- Solo Tackles: 2-5
- Pass Deflections: 1-3
- Interceptions: 0
- Forced Fumbles: 0-1
Key Factors Influencing
Smith should have plenty of opportunities to make tackles against Cleveland.
The Browns will need to establish offensive consistency after scoring only 10 points in their opener. Jacksonville defeated Cleveland 34-10 in Week One.
That could create opportunities for Smith against both the run and passing game.
His ability to cover underneath routes should also matter against Cleveland’s offensive personnel.
Smith has already demonstrated his ability to produce tackles and disrupt passes. His four tackles and pass breakup showed that against Cincinnati.
Final Stat Predictions
- 6 total tackles
- 4 solo tackles
- 1 pass deflection
- 0 interceptions
- 0 forced fumbles
Smith’s Week One performance gives him a solid foundation heading into the Cleveland matchup.
The Browns could provide more tackle opportunities if Tampa Bay’s defense forces longer offensive possessions.
Final Prediction: 6 tackles, 1 pass deflection, 0 interceptions
