Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring, thigh) was included on the team's first injury report for Week 3 and was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday. The fact that he's practicing at all in the first session of the week is a sign that his injury isn't serious, but it's something for fantasy managers to watch heading into the Week 3 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. As long as the 24-year-old is able to play this week, he'll need to remain in all starting fantasy lineups. Smith has gotten off to a great start through two weeks in 2023, catching 11 of his 15 targets for 178 yards and two touchdowns against the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers in Week 3 on Monday night. The 24-year-old has outproduced teammate A.J. Brown by a wide margin in the past two weeks, posting 178 yards and two touchdowns. Brown is likely to get the squeaky wheel treatment in a plus matchup against Tampa Bay, but that does not mean there will not be enough left for Smith to have a top-tier fantasy performance. The Buccaneers have given up the seventh-most receiving yards to wide receivers through two weeks, even though they allowed just 140 last week to Chicago. Keep firing up the former Heisman winner as a top-tier WR2 with top-12 upside on a weekly basis.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught 4-of-5 targets for 131 yards and one touchdown during the team's 34-28 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The former Heisman winner started the game strong with an impressive 54-yard catch over top of a defender on the team's first offensive drive. Smith capped off the night with a 63-yard touchdown where he torched the cornerback and trotted into the end zone with ease. The 24-year-old ended the 2022 season on a high note, and he has continued to have success to start 2023 after scoring in each of the first two games of the year. Teammate A.J. Brown seemed to voice his frustrations to the team on the sideline about wanting to be more involved, but it should not affect Smith heading into Philadelphia's Week 3 matchup against Tampa Bay. He should be considered a borderline WR1 in that matchup.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will take on the Minnesota Vikings in the team's home opener Thursday night. The former Heisman winner caught seven passes and scored in Week 1 against a stiff New England defense and draws an even better matchup this week. Minnesota's secondary had a tough time stopping Baker Mayfield and company last week and will struggle to keep quarterback Jalen Hurts in check while accounting for three top-tier receivers in Smith, A.J. Brown, and Dallas Goedert. Starting running back Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) will also miss this game, potentially leading to an increased amount of passes thrown. There are few weeks that Smith will not be a recommended fantasy option this season, with this one being no exception. Fire the 24-year-old as a high-end WR2 in Week 2.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught 7-of-10 targets for 47 yards and a touchdown during the team's 25-20 victory over the New England Patriots. The former Heisman winner caught the Eagles' only offensive touchdown, catching a five-yard bullet from quarterback Jalen Hurts. Smith caught some dink and dunk passes throughout the rest of the game but had a tough time breaking away from the Patriots' defenders. The Eagles had just 170 passing yards in this game. However, it did not keep the 24-year-old from having a solid fantasy performance. Smith has a much easier opponent next week. Philadelphia will have a short break and host the Minnesota Vikings in their home opener this upcoming Thursday. He should be considered a high-end WR2 in that matchup.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will go on the road to take on the New England Patriots in Week 1 of the regular season. The 24-year-old ended last season on a high note, ranking as the WR2 overall through the final six weeks. The only caveat is that tight end Dallas Goedert missed three of those six games and was coming back from injury. Now at full strength, there is a chance the starting tight end will eat into Smith's target share as he did to start the 2022 season. With that said, Smith led the Eagles in receptions and is one of the top No. 2 receivers in the league. He has earned his guaranteed target share and has a solid matchup against New England to capitalize on. The former Heisman winner should be considered a high-end WR2 in Week 1.
