STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Brown's presence reduces Smith's target share; Smith sees 35% targets in games without him.

AJ Brown's presence in Philadelphia significantly reduces Devonta Smith's target share and usage; Smith's 35% target share in four games without Brown since 2022 contrasts with his overall 25.6% career target share without him, indicating Brown commands a large share of targets when healthy. This dynamic is relevant for understanding Smith's ceiling and floor depending on Brown's availability.
