Positive signalBreakout

Devonta Smith is a top-10 breakout candidate with AJ Brown gone.

With AJ Brown gone, Devonta Smith is positioned as a primary focal point in the Eagles' offense. The source highlights his 99th-percentile yards per route run when AJ Brown is off the field and notes the Eagles have the second-easiest passing schedule, making him a strong candidate for a top-10 finish.
