Who Should I Start? DeVonta Smith or Travis Hunter

Tuesday, November 25, 8:26 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (chest, shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice due to chest and shoulder injuries, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Smith's status bears watching on a short week when the team takes on the Chicago Bears on Friday. He played 95% of the offensive snaps in the Week 12 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday and had a big game, catching six of his 11 targets for 89 yards. If Smith is a DNP again on Wednesday, fantasy managers should actually be worried that he might be in danger of missing Week 13 action. If Smith is limited in any way or ruled out entirely against Chicago later this week, Jahan Dotson would be in line for WR2 duties in Philly behind A.J. Brown. Smith has only found the end zone three times in 11 games in 2025, adding 55 receptions on 78 targets for 754 yards. He's on track for the third 1,000-yard season in his fifth NFL campaign.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter (knee) unfortunately saw his rookie campaign come to an early end. Hunter was only able to play in seven games before suffering a season-ending knee injury that required surgery. There was speculation that Hunter might make the switch to one position following this injury. So far, the Jags have stated they plan to continue using Hunter as a two-way player. His injury occurred during a non-contact play during practice, so it doesn't sound like it had anything to do with the wear-and-tear of playing two positions. He finished his rookie season with 28 receptions for 298 yards and one touchdown.
