DeVonta Smith Ruled Out for Week 9

Friday, November 6, 11:58 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been officially ruled out for his team's Week 9 matchup against the New York Giants, per Zach Berman of The Athletic. This will be the fifth missed game in the last six weeks for Smith due to a hamstring injury. The 27-year-old briefly came back from the injury in Week 6 and played well, but he has been sidelined ever since. Smith has been highly productive when healthy in 2026, recording 26 catches for 310 yards and two touchdowns on 41 targets across four games. However, he's clearly battling a fairly serious hamstring issue, and the 2-6 Eagles have little reason to rush him back out onto the field. With both Smith and WR2 Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) out in Week 9, the Eagles rookie wideout should see a heavy target share on Sunday against the Giants.

Christian Watson Lights Up New England's Secondary

Sunday, November 8, 4:18 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson lit up the New England Patriots in a 45-27 victory in Week 9. Watson saw eight targets against the Patriots, and recorded seven receptions for a career-high 171 receiving yards (24.4 yards per catch) and a touchdown. Watson and Matthew Golden (10 receptions for 164 yards and a touchdown) were the favorite targets for quarterback Jordan Love on Sunday, and the Patriots had no answer. This marked the second consecutive week that Watson has recorded more than 100 receiving yards, and the fourth time he has reached that mark in 2026. Watson's strong campaign continues, and he remains one of the best wide receivers in fantasy football.
