Jamey Eisenberg is very bullish on Devontae Smith, ranking him in his top 12 wide receivers and ahead of George Pickens. Eisenberg notes that in three games without A.J. Brown over the last two years, Smith averaged 16 PPR points per game and expects him to be the primary target for Jalen Hurts.PositiveValueAug 8, 2026
The source ranks DeVonta Smith in a tier ahead of Zay Flowers. Smith is highlighted as a strong value because he is currently being drafted based on the team's poor offensive performance last year, despite a coaching change and a healthier offensive line expected for this season. Smith also historically commands a 39% target share when A.J. Brown is off the field.PositiveUsageAug 7, 2026
Smith is a consensus top 14 wide receiver. Historically, when primary pass catchers like Dallas Goedert are out, Smith's production spikes; he averaged 17.1 PPR points per game in 17 games without Goedert or with Goedert leaving early, while A.J. Brown was active.PositiveProjectionJul 21, 2026

Smith is a strong value in round three because he's been a top 10 WR both with and without A.J. Brown, averaging 15-17 PPR points per game in games without Brown, and now becomes the offense's number one receiver.PositiveRoleJul 7, 2026

Jamie Eisenberg identifies DeVonta Smith as a wide receiver he would automatically pick if available at the end of round three or beginning of round four, indicating strong conviction in Smith at that price point. Eisenberg notes that Smith is likely to be available at that range based on ADP, making him a target in that tier.PositiveValueNo date
Going in rounds three and four; the source groups him in the next-best tier after the elite wide receivers and believes he has potential to finish top 15, if not top 12, assuming target volume holds and he stays healthy; the source emphasizes the importance of nailing wide receivers in the round three-four range given the lack of clean cases in the elite tier.
