DeVonta Smith Explodes for 183 Yards in Eagles' Big Offensive Showing

Sunday, October 19, 5:29 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught nine of his 11 targets for 183 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The highlight of his performance was a 79-yard touchdown catch that extended Philadelphia's lead to two possessions in the third quarter. Smith led the team in receiving yards and combined with A.J. Brown for the entirety of the Eagles' offensive scoring. The 26-year-old hasn't been very consistent week over week, but games like these remind managers of his extreme upside. He should continue to be viewed as a solid WR2 heading into Week 8 against the New York Giants.

Malik Nabers Still Awaiting Surgery, 2026 Timeline Unclear

Thursday, October 23, 2:16 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) is yet to undergo surgery to repair his torn ACL he suffered in the team's September 28 matchup with the Giants. Nearly a month after the injury, it appears doctors are still waiting on swelling to subside before operating on the superstar receiver. Prior to his injury, Nabers appeared in four games, catching 18 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns. The former sixth overall pick should be ready for the 2026 preseason, but further delays to surgery could make his timeline unclear moving forward. Nabers has WR1 potential moving forward, despite the emergence of Wan'Dale Robinson in the Giants' offense.
