DeVonta Smith's Stock on the Rise

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is standing out in camp and looking like a "bounce-back" candidate heading into the new season, Zach Berman of PHLY observes. Smith missed four games a season ago, but his fourth year in the NFL was still yet another productive campaign. He hauled in a career-high eight touchdowns while amassing 833 yards on 68 catches (89 targets). Smith's yardage total was the lowest of his career, but he likely would've gone over the 1,000-yard mark for the third straight season had he been healthier. Although Smith is behind A.J. Brown in Philly's receiver pecking order, he's good enough to enter 2025 as RotoBaller's 25th-ranked WR.

DeVonta Smith Back at Practice on Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (back) returned to practice in pads at training camp on Sunday after missing the previous four practices with back tightness. Smith being held out of practices this week was likely just a precautionary move by the Eagles early in camp. For now, there should be nothing to worry about with the 26-year-old, who has become one of the best No. 2 wideouts in football for the reigning Super Bowl champions. The former 10th overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft out of Alabama actually had a career-low 833 receiving yards on 68 catches (career-low 89 targets), but he found the end zone a career-high eight times in 13 regular-season games. Smith has at least seven touchdowns in each of the last three seasons. Volume is an issue in this Philly offense, but Smith has been efficient with his opportunities and is on the WR2/3 borderline in fantasy.

DeVonta Smith Misses Fourth Practice

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (back) is missing his fourth straight practice at training camp on Friday with back tightness, according to Brooks Kubena of The Athletic. However, on the bright side, Smith warmed up with the team and also ran some sprints with trainers, suggesting that he could be close to rejoining team drills this weekend. While it's something worth keeping an eye on for the Eagles' WR2, it sounds like fantasy managers shouldn't be worried at all that it's something that will linger into the regular season. The 26-year-old former 10th overall pick in 2021 out of Alabama has been one of the best No. 2 wideouts in football since entering the league, and he has two 1,000-yard seasons and 27 total touchdowns in four years in the NFL. RotoBaller has Smith ranked on the WR2/3 borderline for the upcoming campaign.

DeVonta Smith Out Again on Tuesday With Back Tightness

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (back) is sitting out of practice again on Tuesday with back tightness. Smith also missed practice on Monday with the ailment, although there's nothing to suggest that he is dealing with anything serious. The Eagles are likely taking it easy with the veteran as he looks to gear up for his fifth NFL season. Smith caught 68 passes for 833 yards and eight touchdowns in 13 games for the Eagles in their Super Bowl-winning season. Assuming his back tightness isn't anything more serious, he sets up as a solid low-end WE2/high-end WR3 heading into fantasy draft season.

DeVonta Smith Out With Back Tightness on Monday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (back) is not taking part in Monday's training camp practice due to back tightness, according to the team. It doesn't sound like Smith's back injury is particularly serious, so hopefully he'll be back on the field in a matter of days. If his back injury were to linger, though, it would give more opportunities to Jahan Dotson, Terrace Marshall, Ainias Smith and Johnny Wilson behind WR1 A.J. Brown. Smith has only missed five of 77 games since he entered the league in 2021 despite his slim build. What he lacks in pure volume, the 26-year-old makes up for in efficiency deep down the field as one of the better No. 2 wideouts in the league behind Brown in an offense with plenty of mouths to feed. As long as Smith's back injury doesn't linger, he'll be a fine low-end WR2/high-end WR3 target in fantasy drafts.

DeVonta Smith Shines on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith went "on a tear" during Thursday's training camp practice, according to team reporter Tim McManus. After a slow first day, the Slim Reaper was one of the standout performers for Philly. The former first-round pick and Heisman Trophy winner out of Alabama was held under 900 receiving yards for the first time in his career last season, but he missed four games, and the Eagles ranked last in passing attempts per game (25.7). The 26-year-old is likely to be a volatile fantasy option once again in 2025, but the Eagles have a significantly tougher schedule compared to last year, meaning the passing volume could see at least a slight uptick. Either way, Smith has weekly WR1 upside at a WR3/WR4 pricetag.

DeVonta Smith Hauls In Big Touchdown Pass Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught four of his five targets for 69 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The 26-year-old epitomized consistency over the last month, catching exactly four passes in each of his four playoff games. At times, Smith has looked more productive than A.J. Brown, and he got the edge over his teammate on Sunday by pacing all Eagles receivers in catches and yards. Although Smith himself had some inconsistent moments throughout the regular season, there is no denying that he is a talented player in an incredibly potent offense. Even as he loses some opportunities to Brown, Saquon Barkley, and Jalen Hurts, there is clearly a path for Smith to finish as a mid-range WR2 in 2025 fantasy football.

DeVonta Smith Will Suit Up Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Smith missed practice all last week and was limited through three sessions this week. The Eagles are likely just being cautious with Smith because they know he's dealing with a lingering hamstring issue. Smith has been an important piece to this offense with 68 receptions for 833 receiving yards, and eight touchdowns through 13 games. Smith hasn't made a huge splash this postseason, but has finished with four receptions in all three postseason games heading into Sunday's Super Bowl.

DeVonta Smith Limited Again On Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. After not practicing at all last week, Smith wasn't listed on last Friday's final injury report. It means that he will most likely practice in full on Friday and be cleared to play in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday versus the Kansas City Chiefs. The 26-year-old pass-catcher has been extremely efficient in three postseason games this year, catching all 12 of his targets for 121 yards, although he didn't find the end zone in wins over the Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams and Washington Commanders. Smith did have four touchdowns in his final four regular-season games, though, so it wouldn't surprise anyone if he had a big game in the Super Bowl this weekend.

DeVonta Smith Limited On Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Smith picked up a hamstring injury in the NFC Championship win over the division-rival Washington Commanders and was held out of practice all of last week. However, he has now returned to the practice field and should be able to upgrade to a full session by either Thursday or Friday. Smith shouldn't be in any danger of missing Super Bowl LIX this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, where he'll be looking for his first touchdown of the postseason after catching four touchdown passes in his last four games of the regular season. The 26-year-old was cleared from the final injury report last Friday despite not practicing all week and will be a vital part of Philly's passing game as the Eagles look to prevent KC from becoming the first team to win three straight Super Bowl rings.

DeVonta Smith Expected To Play In Super Bowl

Despite not practicing at all this week, the Philadelphia Eagles removed wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) from Friday's final injury report. It means that despite Smith picking up a hamstring injury in the NFC Championship win over the division-rival Washington Commanders, he's fully expected to suit up for Super Bowl LIX next Sunday, Feb. 9, versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Smith will likely be back on next week's injury report and might even miss a practice or two, but he should be fine to play next weekend and will be needed if the Eagles are to upset KC in the big game. The 26-year-old not practicing at all this week was likely more of the Eagles just wanting to rest their No. 2 wideout with an extra week off before the Super Bowl. Smith will be looking for his first touchdown of the postseason next weekend.

DeVonta Smith Not Practicing Again On Friday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is not practicing again on Friday. After picking up a hamstring injury in the win over the division-rival Washington Commanders last Sunday in the NFC Championship, Smith has been held out of practice all week. However, there shouldn't be much concern around his status for Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs since the Eagles have another week-plus before the big game. As long as the 26-year-old wideout can return to practice next week, he should be fine to play against the Chiefs. In the Eagles' three playoff victories over the Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams and Commanders, Smith had four catches apiece on 12 total targets for 121 receiving yards and no touchdowns. He sat out the Week 18 regular-season finale but had four touchdowns through Weeks 14-17.

DeVonta Smith Misses Practice Again On Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was seen sitting on a heated bench during practice on Thursday and will be a DNP for the second straight day this week. Smith appears to have picked up a hamstring issue after the win over the division-rival Washington Commanders last Sunday in the NFC Championship game, but the Eagles are most likely just resting their No. 2 wideout with the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs not coming until Sunday, Feb. 9. It's possible that he doesn't get back onto the field until late next week, but nobody should be panicking that he won't be available for the big game next weekend. The 26-year-old hasn't scored in three playoff games but does have 12 receptions for 121 yards on his 12 targets in wins over the Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams and Commanders.

DeVonta Smith Dealing With Hamstring Injury

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury and was listed as a non-participant in the team's practice on Wednesday. It's something to watch with Smith, but with the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs not coming until Sunday, Feb. 9, the 26-year-old wideout will most likely be ready by then. He played 83 percent of the offensive snaps in the win over the division-rival Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship and caught all four of his targets for 45 yards. The Eagles are likely just giving one of their top offensive weapons a little rest after a long season. Our best guess is that he will return to practice later this week and be fine to play in the Super Bowl in the weekend after next. The fourth-year wideout had a career-low 833 receiving yards in 13 regular-season games but also found the end zone a career-high eight times.

Devonta Smith Stays Consistent In NFC Championship

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith maintained his reliability against the Washington Commanders, securing four receptions for 45 yards. Though he hasn't found the end zone in these playoffs, Smith has been a steady target for Jalen Hurts, recording four catches in each postseason game this year. Smith's ability to make plays when called upon adds crucial balance to the Eagles offense, complementing the dominant ground game led by Saquon Barkley. His role as a dependable pass-catcher is pivotal, especially when opposing defenses focus on limiting A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert. As the Eagles head to the Super Bowl to face the Buffalo Bills, Smith will likely continue to play a key supporting role, providing Hurts with a consistent option in the passing attack.

DeVonta Smith Posied To Perform In NFC Championship

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith heads into Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Washington Commanders as one of the team's most reliable weapons. Smith now leads the Eagles this season in receptions (76) and receiving touchdowns (8), proving to be a crucial target for Jalen Hurts in the passing game. While the Eagles have leaned heavily on Saquon Barkley's dominant ground game in the postseason, Smith remains a key option when the offense looks to the air. His ability to make big catches in critical moments will be pivotal if Philadelphia diversifies their attack to keep Washington's defense off balance. With his consistent production all season, Smith is poised to make a big impact in this high-stakes matchup.

DeVonta Smith Effective When Targeted

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith contributed four receptions for 27 yards in the team's 28-22 Divisional Round victory over the Los Angeles Rams. While the Eagles relied heavily on Saquon Barkley's dominant ground game, Smith proved reliable when his number was called. The passing attack has taken a backseat multiple times this season as the team leans on Barkley's historic performances. However, Smith's ability to make key catches and move the chains remains a vital part of Philadelphia's offensive strategy. As the Eagles prepare for a grudge match against the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship, Smith's role in complementing the running game with an efficient aerial attack will be crucial in maintaining their postseason success.

DeVonta Smith Ready For Key Role Against Rams

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith heads into Sunday's Divisional Round matchup against the Los Angeles Rams as a pivotal part of the Eagles' passing attack. Smith led the team in receiving during last week's Wild Card victory, catching all four of his targets for 55 yards. This came on the heels of an impressive close to the regular season, where he averaged 79.3 receiving yards per game and scored three touchdowns over his last three contests. With Jalen Hurts now fully recovered and the Eagles facing a Rams defense that has struggled against top-tier wideouts, Smith could be poised for another strong outing.

DeVonta Smith Leads Receiving Corps In Victory

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith stepped up in Sunday night's 22-10 win against the Green Bay Packers, leading the team with four receptions for 55 yards. While Jalen Hurts didn't air it out much, Smith made the most of his opportunities, showcasing his reliability and playmaking ability when targeted. With the Eagles relying on their running game and dominant defense, Smith's contributions in the passing game provided timely support. As Philadelphia prepares to host the winner of Minnesota Vikings/Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round, Smith remains a key offensive weapon capable of delivering clutch plays when needed.

DeVonta Smith Off The Injury Report

According to the team, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (back) is off the injury report and does not have a designation for Sunday's playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. Smith popped up on the injury report on Friday with a back injury, but his absence from the final injury report suggests that his sitting out of practice was more rest-related. The former first-round pick enjoyed a fantastic finish to the season after struggling to find consistency early on. Over his final four games, Smith tallied four touchdowns, averaging 79.3 yards per game. During this span, he saw 8.3 targets per game and posted a strong 11.7 yards per catch. This was a nice increase compared to the 57.3 yards he averaged during the first nine games of the season. Smith should be viewed as a high-upside WR2 in DFS competitions this weekend despite facing a tough Green Bay secondary that has allowed the sixth-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts.
