DeVonta Smith finished behind Wan'Dale Robinson in PPR scoring last season, with Robinson posting WR14 overall despite much of his production being attributed to Malik Nabers' ACL tear.PositiveProjectionAug 10, 2026
Going as the WR12, 30th overall, one the source has him as his WR10 and draws a direct comparison to a receiver who broke out immediately after a more famous teammate left the team last year. With a star teammate now gone, real touchdown volume from both that departed player and a tight end who scored well outside his career norm last year could redistribute toward Smith, who scored just four touchdowns on 113 targets himself last season, real room for positive regression. A new offensive coordinator known for using significantly more pre-snap motion should help get him more easily open and moving around the formation more often. His career-best season, which included 130 targets, came while playing alongside that same now-departed star, and receivers with that kind of target volume and modest touchdown production tend to finish as top-10 fantasy receivers. The team also has one of the easiest schedules in the league for opposing pass defenses this year.PositiveValueAug 10, 2026

DeVonta Smith is undervalued entering his age-28 season despite being positioned for a potential career year. With A.J. Brown dealt to the Patriots, Smith is now the unquestioned No. 1 WR in the Eagles' offense.
