DeVontaSmith

News: 7 hours agoSmith (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday night's game against the Commanders.

Spin: Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) has also been ruled out, so both wideouts will miss a second straight contest. Look for Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore to soak up most of the snaps at wideout for Philadelphia. Smith will thus target a potential return to action Nov. 8 against the Giants.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: It's generally tough for a former Heisman Trophy winner and first-round draft pick to fly under the radar, but that has been the case for Smith in recent years. With all eyes on A.J. Brown, Smith has finished no lower than 30th among receivers in fantasy PPG in each of his five seasons (top 30 in PPG each of the last four). The "slim reaper" saw a big dip in touchdowns last season (four, after at least seven the prior three seasons), but remained very efficient (career 9.1 yards per target and 2.1 yards per route run). Smith has handled roughly one-quarter of the Eagles' targets throughout his career, and that may rise slightly after Brown was traded to New England. Smith, 27, is the Eagles' No. 1 receiver for the first time as a non-rookie and is well positioned for a strong WR2 campaign.
