DeVonta Smith News
Friday, October 9, 10:19 AM
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's Week 5 game in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to NBC Sports' John Clark. Smith was seen doing work on a rehab field on Thursday and Friday, but it was not enough to earn him the green light to play, and he will miss a second straight game with his hamstring injury. He is a must-start when active as Philly's clear WR1, but he must remain on the bench for another week. Smith's next chance to play will come next Sunday in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. Through his first three games in 2026, he has 19 catches on 27 targets for 235 yards and a touchdown. Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) is also banged up for the Eagles, so rookie first-rounder Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper could be quarterback Jalen Hurts' top two receivers this weekend across the pond. The good news for Hurts is that he will be getting starting tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) back after a two-week absence.

Parker Washington News
Sunday, October 11, 12:19 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington delivered his biggest game of the 2026 season Sunday, catching six of nine targets for 124 yards and two touchdowns in a 19-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in London. He put Jacksonville on the board with a 51-yard catch-and-run in the first quarter, then made a spectacular one-handed, 27-yard touchdown grab on fourth-and-5 with 3:20 remaining to give the Jaguars a 16-14 lead. Washington accounted for both of Trevor Lawrence's touchdown passes and recorded the first multi-touchdown receiving game of his career. The performance came just one week after he managed one catch for seven yards on three targets against Cincinnati. Washington has now caught 22 passes for 352 yards and four touchdowns on 35 targets through five games, building on his 847-yard campaign in 2025. He deserves WR2 consideration heading into another London matchup with Houston in Week 6, although his uneven target totals remain something for fantasy managers to watch.
