Clear-cut WR1 in Eagles; WR20 ADP is exceptional value
Clear-cut number one receiver in the Eagles offense following AJ Brown's departure. Every time AJ Brown has been off the field, Smith has assumed the number one role. While not a prototypical number one receiver, his mix of route running, great length, and hands position him to generate significant volume. With Dallas Goedert aging and Dantavian Wicks functioning as a sacrificial role player, Smith is the primary target beneficiary in the Eagles passing game. New OC Shawn Manion's motion-heavy scheme is expected to create easier throwing windows and increase opportunities. Ranked WR20 on Sleeper after Ted McMillan, Garrett Wilson, Luther Burden, Vlad Mcconi, and Zay Flowers—the source calls this 'exceptional value' given his elevated role. Press coverage is unlikely to significantly limit opportunity; he faced only 56 pressed routes last year, and even if that doubles to roughly 20% of his route share, it remains far below the NFL average (Jamar Chase led the league at 112 pressed routes). The added opportunity from AJ Brown's departure as the only boundary threat outweighs press risk.
