DeVonta Smith Breaks Free for 114 Yards in Week 5 Loss

Monday, October 6, 1:05 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught eight of his 10 targets for 114 yards during Sunday's Week 5 loss against the Denver Broncos. After a frustrating Week 4 in which Smith caught just two passes and was subsequently reported to be "frustrated" within the offense, the talented receiver bounced back in a huge way. The 26-year-old was able to impress despite the Eagles' passing game struggles and despite an unfavorable matchup against a strong Broncos defense. If Smith was able to thrive in this week's situation, he should have no trouble producing next week against the New York Giants. He's a low-end WR2 in fantasy football ahead of Week 6.

Chris Olave Looks to Rebound Against Giants

Saturday, October 4, 9:12 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave posted season-low numbers in Week 4 against the Bills, managing just six targets, three receptions, and 20 yards. He salvaged some fantasy value with his first touchdown of 2025 but also threw an interception on a failed trick play with Spencer Rattler. Despite the down performance, Olave remains a focal point of the Saints' passing attack and draws a favorable Week 5 matchup with the Giants, who are allowing 235.5 passing yards per game, ranking 25th in the league. Olave profiles as a WR2/WR3 for that one.
