DeVonta Smith Ruled Out Against Rams

Friday, October 2, 12:21 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, according to Brooks Kubena. Smith didn't practice this week after playing through the injury Monday night against Chicago, when he caught six passes for 65 yards. Philadelphia will now be without its most heavily targeted receiver. Smith has 27 targets, 19 receptions, 235 yards, and one touchdown through three games, leading the Eagles in each of the first three categories. Dontayvion Wicks and rookie Makai Lemon should both have more on their plates with Smith unavailable. Wicks has already been productive with 179 receiving yards through three games, while Lemon has seven catches on nine targets. Smith's Week 4 absence is official, with his availability beyond Sunday still something fantasy managers will need to monitor.

Khalil Shakir Is Getting Tougher to Use

Saturday, October 3, 7:20 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has become a tough player to squeeze into fantasy lineups. He caught one pass for six yards against the Chargers and sits at eight receptions for 94 yards through three games. The Bills offense is moving the ball, but that hasn't produced enough weekly volume for Shakir with DJ Moore and Dalton Kincaid more involved. New England has allowed only 510 passing yards so far, which doesn't make this an obvious rebound spot either. Shakir is WR53 in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings. There will be weeks when Josh Allen's offense pulls him into fantasy relevance, but the current target and yardage totals aren't strong enough to chase. He's better left on the bench in most standard-sized leagues.
