DeVonta Smith Not Practicing on Friday

Friday, October 2, 8:26 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is not seen practicing on Friday as the team prepares to take on the Los Angeles Rams. Smith played through a hamstring injury last week, but has not practiced at all this week and is unlikely to play, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. In three games, Smith has hauled in 19 of 27 targets for 235 yards and a touchdown, producing strong numbers as the team's WR1 with AJ Brown in New England. With Smith trending towards sitting in Week 4, wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks and rookie Makai Lemon appear ready to step up and replace the former Heisman Trophy winner. While neither are strong starting options against a solid Rams secondary, both carry FLEX appeal in Week 4 if Smith is inactive.

Rain Could Limit Darnell Mooney's Volume Against Titans

Saturday, September 26, 3:16 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Darnell Mooney may struggle to find more volume in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans. Through two games, Mooney has been efficient, hauling in four of five targets for 75 yards and averaging just 4.8 half-PPR fantasy points per game. With starting quarterback Jaxson Dart (knee) set to miss the remainder of the season, Jameis Winston is set to take over the offense. Under Matt Nagy, the Giants could become even more run-heavy as they look to limit Winston's turnovers. The forecast in East Rutherford calls for heavy rain and wind at kickoff, which should lead to a low-scoring, run-heavy script for both the Titans and the Giants. Despite his strong efficiency to start the season, Mooney should remain out of starting lineups in Week 3.
