From the episode

He is a number two receiver who is undeniably talented in college and got a first-run pick who then is really muscular number one receiver from Ole Miss, AJ Brown, was traded. And then he has a new offensive coordinator who's trying to make the offensive line better to make a better running game so that they can then do play-action and give Devontae Smith like a 30% target share.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

DeVonta Smith is a top-15 breakout candidate with AJ Brown gone.

DeVonta Smith is a prime breakout candidate following the departure of AJ Brown. In a limited sample of 190 routes without Brown, Smith performed as a top-eight receiver in volume metrics and a top-four receiver in expected fantasy points per route run. The Eagles' shift toward more under-center, play-action heavy schemes should create more space for Smith, making him a potential top-15 player if the offense succeeds.
