DeVonta Smith

Week 6 vs Cleveland Browns

DeVonta Smith missed the Eagles last game after suffering a concussion in the teams Week 3 win over the Saints. But he has practiced in full this week and looks set to return. Smith has been very good in fantasy terms so far this season ranking as the WR13 in Half PPR points per game with 13.5, which represents excellent value based on his summer ADP.

The Eagles look like having their full cadre of offensive weapons available to them for the first time since the opening game of the season. A week of WR2 production should be in store for Smith on his return to lineups in Week 6. The Browns defense is not what it once was, and they currently rank 13th in aFPA to wide receivers.

Week 2 vs. Atlanta Falcons

DeVonta Smith's Week 1 output wasn't great from a fantasy point of view, but he still posted decent numbers befitting his role as one of the league's premier WR2s. Smith caught seven of his eight targets for 84 yards, giving him 11.9 Half PPR points and a WR22 finish for the week.

Smith should see favorable coverage this week, with most of the defensive backfield's eyes on A.J. Brown, and a solid WR2 outing is well within his grasp in Week 2.

DeVonta Smith remains one of the premier second chairs at the wide receiver position across the entire NFL. Arguably good enough to rule the roost in many NFL passing attacks, Smith has co-existed with A.J. Brown for the last two seasons and done just fine, with 81 grabs for 1,066 yards and seven scores in 2024 on his way to WR22 numbers in half-PPR formats.

Smith should, like all members of the Eagles offense, not see his numbers dip dramatically now Kellen Moore is calling the plays in Philadelphia. His ceiling is capped by Brown, but he should see enough opportunities, and put up good enough numbers, to remain a solid WR2 in fantasy formats, with the potential to do much more should anything happen to Brown.
