DeVonta Smith's promotion to WR1 should provide a decently-high floor at both of those spots... First, I love DeVonta Smith. He can do it all. He's a burner who can make every contested catch there is, despite his slim frame.

Smith promoted to WR1; should replicate Brown's production but replication not automatic.

Promoted to WR1 with expectation to replicate A.J. Brown's production. The source expresses confidence in Smith's versatility: 'He can do it all. He's a burner who can make every contested catch there is, despite his slim frame.' Smith has maintained health throughout his Eagles career and should benefit from the Sean Mannion offense providing 'more easy buttons' for him and Jalen Hurts. However, the source tempers expectations: 'I hope he can replicate Brown's numbers, but I don't believe it's automatically going to happen.'
