DeVonta Smith Finds The End Zone In Week 2 Loss

Tuesday, September 17, 9:35 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught seven of 10 targets for 76 yards and a touchdown during the team's 22-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. With A.J. Brown (hamstring) out for this game, and likely a few more, the Eagles' No. 2 receiver played the No. 1 role and made multiple clutch grabs including a seven-yard touchdown in the second quarter to give the Eagles their first lead of the game. Outside of Britain Covey, who had six targets, Smith was the only player to see a high target share and should remain a safe WR2 with top-12 upside as long as Brown misses time. The 25-year-old will face off against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3.

Pat Freiermuth Leads Steelers In Receiving Against Broncos

Monday, September 16, 12:50 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth came down with all four of his targets for 39 receiving yards in a Week 2 victory over the Denver Broncos. It was fellow tight end Darnell Washington who scored Pittsburgh's first touchdown of the 2024 campaign, but Freiermuth continued to operate as a reliable weapon for quarterback Justin Fields. In its current state, the Steelers' offense doesn't offer much for fantasy managers to get excited about, but it's clear that Freiermuth has a significant role as one of the top pass-catchers on the roster. The 25-year-old will look to generate more production with his opportunities when facing the Los Angeles Chargers at home in Week 3.
