Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith boomed against the Broncos, recording his highest target and receiving yard counts of the season in a team-leading performance. The question with Smith, as usual, is whether or not he can turn this into consistency. After his last big game against the Rams, he followed it up with two catches on two targets in the next outing. This week, he does have a very favorable matchup against the Giants, who are allowing the second-most fantasy points to WRs this season. Plus, on a short week, Smith might be able to capitalize on a New York defense that's less than 100% conditioned. He's worth a WR3 spot in what should be his second consecutive strong week.

Quarterback Spencer Rattler finally pushed the ball downfield to Shaheed after averaging just 5.2 yards per attempt through the first four weeks. Shaheed played 67% of the offensive snaps and faces a Patriots defense allowing 242.2 passing yards per game. He is a WR3 with upside if the deep ball continues.
