DeVonta Smith Ruled Out Against Rams

Friday, October 2, 12:21 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, according to Brooks Kubena. Smith didn't practice this week after playing through the injury Monday night against Chicago, when he caught six passes for 65 yards. Philadelphia will now be without its most heavily targeted receiver. Smith has 27 targets, 19 receptions, 235 yards, and one touchdown through three games, leading the Eagles in each of the first three categories. Dontayvion Wicks and rookie Makai Lemon should both have more on their plates with Smith unavailable. Wicks has already been productive with 179 receiving yards through three games, while Lemon has seven catches on nine targets. Smith's Week 4 absence is official, with his availability beyond Sunday still something fantasy managers will need to monitor.

Christian Watson in Must-Start Territory with Big Role and Touchdown Streak

Wednesday, September 30, 7:26 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has been fantastic this season, catching 17 passes for 284 yards and four touchdowns through three games. He has at least eight targets in all three games this season, and he also has a four-game touchdown streak dating back to last regular season. The Packers have endured their fair share of struggles en route to a 1-2 start, but Watson has been able to maintain a very sizable role. He ranks as the overall WR5 in PPR leagues this season, putting him in must-start territory for every week regardless of matchup. Managers should have full confidence rolling him out as a mid-to-low WR1 for Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are also trending in the wrong direction with a 0-3 start to the year.
