Fantasy Life Articles on DeVonta Smith
From the article
I don't need anything new from DeVonta Smith except more... the floor is already there, but we haven't seen the ceiling yet... if Smith gets the volume I believe is coming without sacrificing the efficiency he's demonstrated for five straight years, we're not talking about whether he can beat WR14. We're talking about whether DeVonta Smith can finish as a top-five fantasy wide receiver.
STACKED’s take
Berry's ride or die: Smith's WR10 ranking could undervalue top-5 upside with incoming volume.
Matthew Berry's 2026 Ride or Die pick. Berry ranks Smith 24th overall and WR10 (vs. consensus 35th overall, WR14) based on expected target volume increase following A.J. Brown's trade. When Smith has received 25%+ target share in his career, he averages 17.3 PPG (comparable to last year's WR5 George Pickens at 17.2 PPG). Berry believes Smith's floor is secure—he's too talented and efficient—but the ceiling could reach top-five WR if he receives the 140-target volume Berry projects without sacrificing his five-year efficiency track record. The Eagles' expected increased motion under new OC Mannion (Green Bay ranked 5th in motion) and departure of A.J. Brown's 28%+ target share create the opportunity.
