Stepping in as Philadelphia's WR1 with A.J. Brown's departure, Smith is projected to receive 140 targets due to his elite route-running and separation ability. The source expects a borderline WR1 season and projects him to finish within the WR9–13 range, providing an extremely high floor as a third-round pick in PPR formats.PositiveRoleJul 16, 2026
DeVonta Smith benefits from the Eagles offense when other top receivers are out, with the removal of Kevin Patullo expected to improve the offense's overall success rate.PositiveRoleJul 8, 2026
Ranked #12 WR by the source, rounding out the top 12. Smith finally moves into the alpha receiver role in Philadelphia with AJ Brown's departure. Historical splits show Smith's target share when Brown is off the field, and the source projects a floor of 25% target share on a weekly basis even with the addition of Malibu Lemon, who will be slowly ramped up throughout the season. With Jalen Hurts throwing 28 times per game, Smith is talented enough to see 8-10 targets per game. This represents a significant role upgrade and target volume floor for Smith.PositiveRoleJul 8, 2026
DeVonta Smith finally moves into the alpha role in Philadelphia with AJ Brown gone, and should see a floor of 25% target share on a weekly basis with 8-10 targets per game even if Jaylen Hurts throws 28 times per game.PositiveRoleJul 8, 2026
DeVonta Smith moves into the alpha role in Philadelphia with AJ Brown's departure and should maintain a floor of 25% target share on a weekly basis even with Malen Lemon being added to the offense.PositiveProjectionJun 29, 2026
The source ranks DeVonta Smith highly, noting that in games where he has played without A.J. Brown, his upside is insane with incredible target share and the ability to operate as a true alpha receiver. The source characterizes Smith as an incredibly high-floor player with an underrated ceiling; references 2022 when both Brown and Smith were top-10 wide receivers despite Jalen Hurts not throwing for more than 3,500 yards, suggesting Smith will maintain elite production despite low passing volume in the Eagles offense. The source expects the Eagles' new offensive coordinator to make a significant difference.PositiveValueJun 9, 2026
Ranked below Kyren Williams in current ADP despite offering better value; source prefers Smith over Kyren at their respective draft positions in third round.PositiveProjectionJun 4, 2026
DeVonta Smith was WR16 in Rashawn Slater's rankings before A.J. Brown's trade to New England. With Brown gone, Smith's splits show he averages 16.2 PPR fantasy points per game when Brown is off the field—comfortably top-10 WR production. Slater projects Smith will see 25–30% target share, 8–10 targets per game, 6–7 catches, 60–80 yards, and 7–8 TDs. He's compared favorably to Calvin Ridley's 2020 season; Slater is confident Smith can be an alpha receiver and efficiently handle a force-fed target load. Mid-third-round ADP is attractive.PositiveProjectionDec 11, 2025
DeVonta Smith is ranked in the 'dub flex' category for Week 15 because he is always viable to produce in any given week, suggesting consistent upside despite the Eagles' expected run-heavy approach against Las Vegas.PositiveProjectionDec 4, 2025
Ranked as a decent start this week; he's running every single route and the matchup is good. The source is not calling him a dub start but is comfortable with him as a flex option. Later earned a 'dub flex' tier classification for Week 14 WR rankings.
