Smith is good enough to win matchups against Cowboys cornerback Joey Porter Jr.; opportunities will come up depending on route and coverage. However, Vic Fangio notes that if the choice is between challenging Porter and challenging Bland, he would prefer the football to go to Bland, suggesting Porter presents a tougher individual matchup than other Cowboys secondary options.NegativeMatchupOct 23, 2026
DeVonta Smith can win against DaRon Bland, the Cowboys' struggling cornerback who has been nothing short of a disaster in coverage. Bland loses his footing, cannot recover when receivers break outside, and has been struggling hugely. Smith should be targeted repeatedly to exploit this individual matchup advantage, though the Eagles should also challenge Bland with their other receivers to avoid allowing him to struggle against everyone else while barely making him work.NegativeInjuryOct 23, 2026

Has averaged more PPR points per game in seven career appearances without Jalen Hurts compared to 77 with him.

Tanner McKee kept Smith functional in Week 6; now faces Week 7 smash spot against Cowboys.NegativeUsageOct 22, 2026
The source references a successful empty formation play where Hurts threw to Wicks (likely referring to a receiver in the formation), demonstrating that empty formations can create clear throwing windows and allow receivers to turn and attack the ball. While Smith is not explicitly named in the analysis, the broader point is that empty formations give the Eagles' receiving corps more opportunities to attack intermediate windows and replace blitzing defenders, requiring five receiving options to be available.PositiveRoleOct 22, 2026
Smith returned from a hamstring injury against Carolina and caught a touchdown pass from McKee. Through six games, Smith has 26 receptions for 310 yards and two touchdowns.

DeVonta Smith has missed two games during the 2026 season. The source notes that the Eagles' offensive struggles cannot be fully attributed to receiver absences, as the offense ranks 30th in EPA and has struggled with execution of the new Shanahan-McVay system.PositiveRoleOct 21, 2026
DeVonta Smith has returned to the Eagles' starting lineup, restoring him to active duty after a period of absence and providing the team with a key receiving weapon alongside the injured Jalen Hurts situation.NegativeProjectionOct 20, 2026
McKee gave Smith real opportunities for chunk plays in Week 6, including on his TD grab and when he drew a DPI in man coverage; the source notes one miscommunication on a fade versus stop route but emphasizes McKee has the touch and velocity to execute the sideline throws that are a highly-used part of the Eagles playbook, and advises not to downgrade Smith because of QB play right now.PositiveUsageOct 20, 2026

Smith was 'the best player on offense by a mile' and deserved his touchdown. He gave the Eagles quality receiving play in a game where much else was making offense difficult. The source notes he was the recipient of one of McKee's two lovely throws over the middle on a shotgun-based drive, and his touchdown came during the Eagles' best drive of the game, which featured all shotgun snaps and no-huddle tempo.NegativeInjuryOct 19, 2026

Eagles WR was able to stay afloat for fantasy managers with Tanner McKee under center in Week 6 against the Panthers, though the upside is clearly lacking without Jalen Hurts.PositiveUsageOct 19, 2026
In the fourth quarter, McKee essentially decided to force-feed DeVonta Smith, who generated five catches for 53 yards and a TD; Smith finished the game with 7 catches for 75 yards and 1 TD. This late-game volume surge suggests Smith could be a focal point of the Eagles offense moving forward.
