Devonta Smith fantasy football insight from PlayerProfiler Fantasy Football Podcast Network
Was a buy before A.J. Brown news, but price has risen significantly; now WR20-23 in Dynasty Data Lab and higher on Keep Trade Cut. At 27.6 years old (will be 28 by December), on a run-first Eagles offense (52.1% pass rate) that won't become pass-heavy even with A.J. Brown gone; historically run-heavy with close to 50% rush rate over last three years. Makai Lemmon will be high-end targeter but won't eat his lunch. High third-round redraft ADP is too expensive. Price unlikely to increase; will experience boomerang/stepping-on-rake effect as he ages another year. WR20 is his ceiling; career range 833-1,200 receiving yards with typical 900-1,000 output. Will need to hit on efficiency to produce, but that's less likely than him scraping everything he can from Jalen Hurts in a throw-mode scenario. Offense expected to shift back to more RPO with Jalen Hurts tucking and running more, benefiting Saquon Barkley instead. Recommendation: take a shot in redraft on ceiling season upside, but stay away in dynasty because you'll be tied to him as he ages. If you don't own him, don't buy in dynasty; if you do own him, develop an exit plan.

View Devonta Smith 2026 fantasy football value pagePlayer profile with fantasy value, ADP, projections, news, and source-backed STACKED insightsI find Devonta like he was a buy for me before the A.J. Brown news... his price has definitely fluctuated... he's wide receiver 20, 23 right now in Dynasty Data Lab... he's 27.6 years old right now... by December of this year is going to be 28... on an offense that is going to continue to be run first... I don't expect even if the offense improves... it's not going to become like a much heavier pass volume offense... You're going to have to hit on efficiency... I would go Divergent and say if you want a ticket for Devonta Smith, try and redraft. Stay away in Dynasty... if you're tied to Devonta Smith, you want to have some kind of an exit plan.
