I think he's a guy who's probably overdue for a promotion from the secondary receiver to a number one receiver role.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Smith is a high-end separator ready for a promotion to the alpha receiver role.

Matt Harmon believes Devonta Smith is overdue for a promotion to a number one receiver role. Smith has demonstrated alpha-like metrics when AJ Brown is off the field and has proven he can win against press coverage, with a 77.6% success rate versus press in 2024 (83rd percentile). While there are concerns about his 170-pound frame holding up to the physical punishment of a full-time X-receiver role over 17 games, his skill set as a separator is elite.
