Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith went "on a tear" during Thursday's training camp practice, according to team reporter Tim McManus. After a slow first day, the Slim Reaper was one of the standout performers for Philly. The former first-round pick and Heisman Trophy winner out of Alabama was held under 900 receiving yards for the first time in his career last season, but he missed four games, and the Eagles ranked last in passing attempts per game (25.7). The 26-year-old is likely to be a volatile fantasy option once again in 2025, but the Eagles have a significantly tougher schedule compared to last year, meaning the passing volume could see at least a slight uptick. Either way, Smith has weekly WR1 upside at a WR3/WR4 pricetag.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said that wide receiver George Pickens' ability to track a deep ball is uncanny and will be utilized in various formations. "He's been great with the ability to move him around," said Schottenheimer. "To maximize him, he can't play just one spot, can't play just the X spot. We are going to move him around, as CeeDee Lamb and he need to be interchangeable." Pickens has looked explosive in camp and has even lined up on the same side as Lamb in some formations. "When he's not doubled, he's really open, Schottenheimer added. The Cowboys traded a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder to the Steelers to acquire Pickens this offseason. The 24-year-old caught 59 passes for 900 yards and three touchdowns for the Steelers last season. Pickens is currently WR30 in the latest RotoBaller rankings, but that rank could rise if he continues to have an impressive camp.
