STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Eagles' historically bad offense limits Smith's volume despite high target share allocation.

DeVonta Smith faces the same Eagles offensive dysfunction as A.J. Brown. The Eagles' offense is the worst-performing through four weeks of a season this century by success rate, with only 172 total yards in Week 4 and 68 net passing yards (lowest in 23 years). While the Eagles direct 68% of targets to wide receivers (third highest in NFL), they have only 72 collective targets to the position (tied 15th). The offense is averaging 1.5 punts per scoring drive (fourth worst) and running 57.5 plays per game (26 fewer than league average), severely limiting Smith's volume opportunities.
