It was a true 1A-1B WR situation in Philadelphia last season. DeVonta Smith actually finished the season with more routes run than A.J. Brown (his 96% route participation ranked fourth overall) and the two were basically even split in target share (27% vs 29%). Smith's high-end usage resulted in a backend fantasy WR1 finish in his second season with an average of 12.3 points per game (16th). The "Slim Reaper" also ended the year 14th in yards per route run.
