DeVonta Smith News
Monday, March 23, 7:45 AM
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith finished the 2025 campaign, his fifth in the NFL, with 77 catches on 113 targets for 1,008 yards and a career-low four touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. Although he had a disappointing four touchdown catches, Smith did reach the 1,000-yard mark for the third time in his career and bounced back nicely from an injury-plagued season in 2024 in which he played in a career-low 13 games. The 27-year-old former 10th overall pick in 2021 out of Alabama finished the 2025 season as the WR20 in half-PPR scoring, just behind Dallas' CeeDee Lamb. Going into 2026 with a new offensive coordinator in an offense that is looking to reset after a disappointing showing last year, there's still plenty to like about Smith. That will especially be true if the Eagles trade A.J. Brown this offseason. If that comes to pass, Smith would most likely operate as Philly's WR1, giving him an even higher fantasy football ceiling as he enters his sixth year in the NFL.

Darnell Mooney News
Saturday, April 4, 8:10 AM
New York Giants wide receiver Darnell Mooney will compete for an opportunity to be Jaxson Dart's No. 2 target behind Malik Nabers. There are a lot of players in the mix for bigger pass-catching roles, and Mooney will have a chance to compete for a path to significant volume if he can stay healthy and productive throughout training camp. Mooney was seen as a potential breakout candidate prior to the 2025 season, but he ultimately fell quite short with just 32 catches, 443 yards, and one touchdown, ranking as the WR79 in PPR leagues. This offseason, he took his talents to New York, where his biggest competition will be Calvin Austin III, Darius Slayton, Theo Johnson, and Isaiah Likely. Dart is arguably more capable of supporting multiple fantasy-relevant receivers than Mooney's last quarterback, Michael Penix Jr., so that's an encouraging sign for 2026. It's too early and too bold to say that he'll be a consistent WR3/flex in 2026, but he certainly has the upside. He had 996 yards just two years ago, and he's an intriguing buy-low candidate in dynasty leagues this offseason after a down season.
