Is DeVonta Smith Still Undervalued in Dynasty Formats?

Thursday, June 25, 9:01 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith has been a productive player since entering the NFL in 2021, averaging 77 catches for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns on 110 targets per season across the first five years of his career. While Smith has still provided fantasy value, his upside in recent seasons has been capped by the Eagles' run-heavy offense and his status as the team's WR2 behind A.J. Brown. Entering 2026, Smith could have a chance to take his production to a new level following the Eagles' trade of Brown to the New England Patriots. While Philadelphia used a first-round pick in the 2026 Draft on wideout Makai Lemon, Smith profiles as his team's clear WR1. The Eagles could also look to open up their offense a bit in 2026 under the stewardship of new play-caller Sean Mannion. For dynasty contenders, targeting Smith ahead of what could be a full-on superstar breakout could be a wise move.

Can a Healthy Darnell Mooney Reemerge as a Dynasty Sleeper?

Monday, June 29, 5:37 AM

Veteran wide receiver Darnell Mooney signed a one-year deal with the New York Giants in the opening days of free agency in what was one of the earliest of several moves made to shore up the position. After a record-breaking rookie season, 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers suffered a complicated knee injury in Week 4 of the 2025 season, and his difficult recovery has still left question marks about his availability to begin the year. With the team's leading receiver from 2025, Wan'Dale Robinson, departing in free agency, the Giants also added Calvin Austin III and followed up those early signings by spending a third-round pick on Notre Dame's Malachi Fields and since bringing in veterans Odell Beckham Jr., JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Braxton Berrios. Given his history with new Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, Mooney could still be the most likely to emerge from the pack and see the largest role, both with and without Nabers on the field. His lone 1,000-yard campaign came with Nagy calling plays in Chicago, and if he can stay healthy in 2026, something he was unable to do in his final season with the Falcons, Mooney could make an impact early in the year and hold a fantasy-relevant outside role even after Nabers' eventual return.
