DeVonta Smith Week 12 Outlook - Packers at Eagles

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 24th 2022, 1:05pm EST

This could be another week of Smith leading the way against soft zone coverage. Last week Alexander and Douglas operated in zone on 70.6-72.7% of their snaps. Last week against the zone-heavy Colts, Smith led the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards. Smith is a smooth operator against zone with 58.8% of his target volume against zone as he ranks 15th in PFF receiving grade and 17th in yards per route run (minimum ten zone targets). Smith has a 25.4% target share and a 28.4% air yard share. He'll run about 78% of his routes against Alexander and Douglas as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3.
