News: 2 days agoSmith had nine receptions on 11 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the 49ers.

Spin: Smith was already having a strong fantasy performance before catching a short touchdown late in Sunday's loss to bolster his final line. A.J. Brown (thigh) also produced strong results as both starting wideouts took advantage of San Francisco's weakness on defense -- its cornerbacks. Smith has tallied 22 receptions for 301 yards and two touchdowns in three games since the Eagles' bye week. He will have another opportunity to post big numbers next Sunday against a Cowboys team that has been without top corner Trevon Diggs (knee) all season.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Smith's breakout 2022 season was overshadowed a bit by running mate A.J. Brown's massive showing, so it may surprise you to know that Smith had more catches than Brown, not to mention that he out-targeted him after Week 1. Smith didn't have as many big weeks as Brown (three top-10 fantasy outings) but had a very high floor (12 top-30 weeks) and ended up ninth among WRs in points. Smith finished no lower than 18th in target share, YPT, catch rate and YPRR during his huge second season. The 24-year-old is still on the ascent and, even with Brown in the mix, has a path to another top 15 fantasy campaign in the Eagles' elite offense.
