Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's tilt against the Los Angeles Rams, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. The Alabama product has been unable to practice all week and will set his sights on returning next week to face the Baltimore Ravens. Smith has had two modest showings over the past two games but eclipsed 15.0 PPR points in six games this season. As a result, fantasy managers should expect A.J. Brown to see a heavy target share. In addition, tight end Dallas Goedert should be viewed as a solid TE1 in all formats, as he should also be in store for a significant target increase. Lastly, wide receiver Jahan Dotson should also see an increase in snaps but only be viewed as a high-risk option in DFS formats.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was not seen at Friday's practice, according to Zach Berman of The Athletic. Smith has been unable to practice all week and is now in danger of missing this weekend's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status over the weekend, as he will likely carry an injury designation. The former first-round pick has struggled to find consistency this season, as he has scored at least 15.0 PPR points on six occasions but fell under double-digits in the other three. If Smith cannot play, fantasy managers should expect A.J. Brown to see a heavy dose of targets, with tight end Dallas Goedert likely operating as the No.2 pass-catching open.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is sitting out of practice for a second straight day this week on Thursday. Smith has played through hamstring issues each of the last two weeks, but two straight missed practices puts him in danger of missing the Week 12 contest on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Rams. And if Smith is a game-time decision this weekend, it would put fantasy managers in a tough spot with his game being on Sunday night this week. The 26-year-old wideout has disappointed the last two weeks, too, catching six of nine targets for 43 yards and no touchdowns. You'll want to check back on Friday to see if he's able to return to practice to at least give himself a chance to play in Week 12. If Smith sits out against LA, it would mean more targets for A.J. Brown and Jahan Dotson and tight end Dallas Goedert.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) didn't take part in practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. It's the third straight week that Smith has been listed on the injury report with a hamstring, but he played each of the last two games, albeit to the tune of just six receptions on nine targets for 43 yards and no touchdowns. As long as the 26-year-old is able to return to practice on Thursday or Friday, he stands a good chance of being available to play in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams. However, a questionable tag could make life difficult on fantasy managers with the Eagles playing on Sunday Night Football this week. We'd expect Smith to play this weekend as he looks to get back in the good graces of his fantasy managers. Treat him as a WR2 if he's active on Sunday.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught four of six targets for 29 yards during the team's 26-18 win over the Washington Commanders on Thursday night. The former Heisman winner had his second straight game with fewer than 30 receiving yards as the Eagles dominated the Commanders with their rushing attack. No receiver for Philadelphia had a particularly great fantasy performance Thursday, but this is a run-first offense that limits passing to keep turnovers at a minimum, and it has led to six straight wins. Because of the massive upside Smith carries, managers need to continue to fire him up, but they also need to understand that with tight end Dallas Goedert healthy and all of the other weapons on the field, there are going to be dry spells for the 26-year-old receiver. He will be a WR2 after the Eagles mini-bye week in Week 12 against the LA Rams.
Nov 15, 2024 11:37 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will face off against the Washington Commanders on Thursday night football in Week 11. The 26-year-old has had some limitations in practice the past few weeks due to a hamstring injury, but he was again left off of the final injury report and is a full go for the team's Week 11 divisional matchup. Smith was not needed last week against a spiraling Dallas team, seeing just three targets and tallying only 14 yards receiving. With that said, the team will need all hands on deck to stop Washington Thursday night, and with newly acquired cornerback Marshawn Lattimore not making his Commanders debut, the Eagles will look to exploit the below-average pass defense. Smith has had some disappointing outings since the Week 5 bye, but he is still a strong WR2 option and remains a must-start in Week 11.
Nov 14, 2024 8:22 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Tuesday. Smith did not participate in Monday's walk through so his activity on Tuesday suggests that it was all maintenance related. Additionally, Smith has been dealing with the injury for a couple of weeks and it did not prohibit him from playing in Week 10. Smith was quiet in Week 10. He recorded just two receptions for 14 yards in the Eagles' blowout win in Dallas. It is unclear if his injury was affecting his play but Smith managers will be hoping for better days to come. Smith has 37 receptions for 487 yards and four touchdowns in eight games this season. His overall fantasy production has been relatively inconsistent but he is still the WR22 in PPR formats. Smith has a solid chance to get back on track in Week 11 against the Washington Commanders.
Nov 12, 2024 6:13 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on the team's estimated practice report on Monday. The team didn't actually hold a practice. Smith has been dealing with a hamstring injury but didn't carry an injury designation into the Week 9 blowout win over the Dallas Cowboys, where he had a disappointing two receptions for 14 yards. The 25-year-old didn't appear to aggravate the injury on Sunday, so the Eagles are likely just resting him on a short week before he'll play on Thursday night against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Smith had a season-high 87 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and is fully capable of breaking out again in Week 11 if he's fully healthy. The Commanders have had issues in their secondary this year, too. Smith has already scored four times in 2024.
Nov 11, 2024 6:42 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith reeled in 2-of-3 targets for 14 yards in the team's 34-6 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Smith wasn't called on to do much in this one -- nor was much of the Eagles' offense -- as no other pass-catcher but fellow wideout A.J. Brown recorded more than 27 yards receiving. Quarterback Jalen Hurts combined for four total touchdowns on the afternoon while the Cowboys could not muster an iota of offense. If fantasy managers can find any solace in the subpar performance, the Alabama product was tied for second on the team in targets with tight end Dallas Goedert. Smith should be used more frequently his next time out when Philadelphia faces off against their division-rival Washington Commanders at home this Thursday night.
Nov 10, 2024 10:04 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) said on Friday that he'll be fine for the Week 10 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Smith appears to have suffered a minor hamstring injury during last week's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice before getting in a limited session on Thursday. Smith doesn't seem to be worried about the injury, so fantasy managers should expect to see him out there. He can be plugged in as a solid WR2 for this divisional matchup with Dallas
Nov 8, 2024 2:38 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is back at practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury. This is great news for his fantasy managers, but his status should continue to be monitored on Friday and up to Sunday. Smith has posted at least 900 receiving yards in each of his first three NFL seasons, but he is a "boom-or-bust" fantasy option in most matchups while sharing a field with A.J. Brown (knee) and Dallas Goedert (hamstring). Assuming all three pass-catchers are active in Week 10 against the Dallas Cowboys, Smith is a solid WR2 or WR3 play with upside, but he has a low floor due to his boom-or-bust nature.
Nov 7, 2024 2:57 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Since Smith showed no signs of the injury during the Eagles' Week 9 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, the severity of the injury is currently unknown. Smith has started to heat up over the last couple of weeks. He has scored a touchdown and reached at least 85 receiving yards in each of the last two weeks. With fellow wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) also limited on Wednesday, the Eagles will have to hope that they will have both of their star wide receivers available in Week 10. Smith checks into Week 10 as the WR17 in PPR formats. He has reached that number despite missing a game due to injury, recording one catch in another, and already having his bye. As such, he has been an excellent fantasy asset in 2024. This is a situation worth monitoring as soft tissue injuries tend to linger.
Nov 6, 2024 6:08 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught four of six targets for 87 yards and scored in the team's 28-23 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The former Heisman winner found the end zone for the second week in a row, making one of the year's best catches on a one-handed 25-yard grab in the back of the end zone in the fourth quarter. Smith was pivotal for the offense in the second half with A.J. Brown (knee) leaving early in the third quarter. The 25-year-old had a few rough outings after the Eagles Week 5 bye but has since gained 85 or more yards and has found the end zone in each game recently. Smith will be a set-it-and-forget-it WR2 again in Week 10 when Philadelphia takes on a banged-up Dallas team.
Nov 4, 2024 9:04 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will face off against the 2-6 Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. The former Heisman winner got back on track last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, catching six of seven targets for 85 yards and a score. Now, Smith gets to take on a Jacksonville defense that struggles to stop any position, but especially wide receivers. The Jaguars allow the fifth-most fantasy points per game to the position and will have their hands full stopping the duo of A.J. Brown and Smith. The 25-year-old is a must-start in Week 9.
Nov 1, 2024 8:07 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught six of seven targets for 85 yards and a touchdown during the team's 37-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. After a week where the former Heisman winner posted -2 receiving yards against the New York Giants, Smith made up for it with a solid performance in which he led the team in receiving yards and caught the only passing touchdown of the day for the Eagles. Smith caught a 45-yard bomb to put the Eagles ahead of the Bengals 24 to 17 and they never looked back. A.J. Brown was right behind him in targets and yardage, but this was a game where running the ball in the red zone was incredibly successful, so there was just one passing touchdown to distribute. The Eagles receivers could have a big day next week against the lowly Jacksonville pass defense.
Oct 27, 2024 7:38 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will go on the road to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8. The former Heisman winner finished with just one reception for a loss of two yards in last week's blowout win over the rival New York Giants, marking the first time this season he had finished outside the top 30 wide receivers. Before the team's Week 5 bye, Smith had averaged nine targets per game and seven receptions. He was used sparingly against the Browns in Week 6 before last week's game. This, however, is the perfect bounce-back spot against a Bengals defense that ranks middle of the pack against wide receivers but has given up the 11th-most passing yards in the league through seven weeks. A.J. Brown will get him, but Smith should be considered a strong WR2 despite last week's disappointing performance.
Oct 25, 2024 8:15 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught one of his two targets and lost two yards during the team's 28-3 win over the New York Giants. While this stat line is going to look terrible to those who did not watch this game, there is no real reason to panic here. The Eagles leaned heavily on running back Saquon Barkley in this game and he tallied 187 total yards. Quarterback Jalen Hurts only needed to attempt 14 passes and all of the starters were out of the game in the early fourth quarter. It would have been nice to see the former Heisman winner get more of the target pie with such a low volume of pass attempts, but this was a week we can move on from because of the heavy Barkley reliance. Smith will still be considered a WR2 when the Eagles take on the Cincinnati Bengals.
Oct 20, 2024 8:36 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will go on the road and face the rival New York Giants in Week 7. The 25-year-old saw his lowest target share of the season last week against the Cleveland Browns but turned four targets into three receptions for 64 yards and a long touchdown grab. The return of A.J. Brown from a hamstring injury that he suffered in Week 1 played a role in Smith seeing fewer targets, but with starting tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) now ruled out, the former Heisman winner should see an increase in usage this week. The Giants are middle of the pack in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers but will have their hands full stopping Brown and their former starting back Saquon Barkley. Consider Smith a high-end WR2 in Week 7.
Oct 18, 2024 8:54 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught three of four targets for 64 yards and a touchdown during the team's 20-16 win over the Cleveland Browns. The former Heisman winner recorded his lowest target share of the season but salvaged his fantasy performance with a 45-yard touchdown catch in the 4th quarter that gave the Eagles the lead and ultimately the win. Smith still tied for second on the team in targets and had a solid fantasy outing. Philadelphia was on the field defensively more than they would have liked, leading to just 25 pass attempts for the offense. Starting tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) left early in the first quarter and did not return. The No. 2 spot in the target pecking order is firmly in possession of Smith, and he will be a locked and loaded WR2 next week when the Eagles travel to New York to take on the rival Giants.
Oct 13, 2024 8:19 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (concussion) has been cleared to play ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Smith has been practicing this week and officially cleared concussion protocol on Friday. That means, Smith will make his return to the field for the first time since Week 3. He has been a significant part of the offense with 21 receptions for 239 yards and one touchdown in three games. He figures to once again remain a focal point on offense which should put him in the high-end WR2 territory.
