Since the 2022 season, DeVonta Smith has taken 698 snaps without A.J. Brown on the field. He's run 205 routes in that span was targeted on 28.8% of them, good for 2.36 yards per route. I feel comfortable projecting him for the lion's share of the volume in Philadelphia's passing game this season.

Smith's 28.8% target rate without Brown supports volume projection; rookie Lemon could limit upside.

Since 2022, Smith has taken 698 snaps without A.J. Brown on the field, running 205 routes and being targeted on 28.8% of them for 2.36 yards per route. The source feels comfortable projecting him for the lion's share of volume in Philadelphia's passing game this season. However, Round 1 receiver Makai Lemon could soak up layup looks in the back half of the year, and Dontayvion Wicks won't be a nothing-burger in the distribution.
