Video: 14 Must Draft SLEEPERS in Fantasy Football (Brett Whitefield)
We know Devonte Smith is not good as an X, right? He gets pressed into oblivion... biggest drop off in separation score of any receiver in the league from when he's lined up in other positions to when he's pressed.

Primary target who struggles significantly against press coverage

DeVonta Smith remains a primary target in the Philadelphia offense, but the source notes a significant limitation in his game: he struggles as an X receiver against press coverage. Smith reportedly suffers the largest drop-off in separation score of any receiver in the league when moving from other alignments to being pressed.
