Ian Hartitz projects DeVonta Smith for a career year following AJ Brown's departure; Smith will transition from overqualified #2 receiver to true #1 in the Eagles offense, paralleling JSN's breakout when DK Metcalf left Seattle. Smith has already proven as a strong fantasy asset in the #2 role; the Eagles have the easiest fantasy schedule for receivers this season across all positions.

0:00If I had to give you five choices,
0:01again, choose your fighter for this
0:03year's JSN between [music]
0:04DeVonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle, Ladd
0:06McConkey, Emeka Egbuka, and Zay Flowers,
0:08which one of those guys do you prefer?
0:10>> The easiest answer here is the one I'm
0:12going to take. I'm not going to make it
0:14difficult. I'm going to say DeVonta
0:15Smith. It just seems like he's on the
0:17verge [music] of a career year. And when
0:19you talk about like what exactly led to
0:22that JSN season, like of course he was a
0:24great player before that, but we saw DK
0:26Metcalf move out of the way and leave.
0:29We saw him get more opportunity in the
0:30offense, [music] and all of a sudden,
0:32boom, what happens? Well, what's going
0:33on with Smith right now, right? AJ
0:35Brown's out of the way. He's now going
0:37to go from being this overqualified
0:40number two receiver in that offense to
0:42being the true number one guy there. And
0:45And we've already seen DeVonta Smith
0:47come through and be a really good
0:48fantasy asset as the number two receiver
0:50in that offense. On top of the fact the
0:53Eagles have the easiest, from my matrix,
0:56the easiest fantasy schedule for
0:58receivers this season. And let's face
0:59it, it's actually [music]
1:00pretty good at every position for a
1:01receiver.
