Who Should I Start? DeVonta Smith or Pat Freiermuth

Wednesday, November 26, 1:41 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (chest, shoulder) is missing a second straight day of practice on Wednesday with chest and shoulder injuries, according to Jeff Neiburg of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Smith played 95% of the offensive snaps in the Week 12 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday and caught six of his 11 targets for 89 yards in a busy day, but he's now in danger of sitting out on a short week this Friday against the Chicago Bears. The 27-year-old will need to get back on the practice field on Thursday to have a shot at playing in Week 13. If Smith is inactive or limited at all this week, A.J. Brown figures to be peppered with targets. Tight end Dallas Goedert would also have a much higher fantasy ceiling. Jahan Dotson would most likely operate as the team's WR2.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth caught all three of his targets for 19 receiving yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. The 27-year-old secured Mason Rudolph's lone passing score, a three-yard strike in the fourth quarter. Though Freiermuth ranks second on the Steelers in receiving yards and touchdowns, he's fifth in targets, trailing DK Metcalf (ankle), Kenneth Gainwell, Calvin Austin III, and Jonnu Smith. Even with Aaron Rodgers (wrist) expected back in Week 13, Freiermuth can't be trusted for fantasy purposes, especially against a Buffalo Bills defense that has shut down opposing tight ends this season.
