DeVonta Smith

A.J. Brown is as good as gone in Philly, even if it's post-draft. Dallas Goedert is returning on a one-year deal. DeVonta Smith has shown a fantasy WR1 ceiling when his teammates have missed time the last few seasons. Most recently, in Week 8 of the 2025 season, Smith went 6-84 yards on nine targets with AJB out of the lineup. He is an objectively good, if not great, WR...and his numbers are not truly indicative of his talent profile. He was more efficient than Brown was in 2025, while posting his third 1,000-yard season. More importantly, the Slim Reaper averaged career-high marks in yards per route run (3.1) and yards per target (11.9) when aligned out wide. Only Jaxon Smith-Njigba (3.8) and Puka Nacua (3.6) and have averaged more yards per route run when aligned out wide among 89 wide receivers to have logged at least 150 such routes.

DeVonta Smith caught three of his four targets for 52 yards in a 24-17 loss to the Commanders in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact

The Eagles rested several starters on offense but Smith was given the option to play in attempts to reach 1,000 receiving yards on the season. He managed to do so, finishing the year with 1,008. He will now begin preparing to face the 49ers at home in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs.
