Smith may fall to mid-30s on Sleeper vs. late 20s elsewhere.
Smith is priced at ADP 44.9 on Sleeper with a +17.8 delta to high-stakes; while he probably won't be available in the 40s in highly competitive leagues, he might still be around in the mid-to-late 30s rather than the mid-to-late 20s like in best-ball, making him a potential value target in the 3-4 turn.

DeVonta Smith is a proven elite technician ready for a featured WR1 role
Matt Harmon is highly confident in DeVonta Smith as a featured WR1, citing his proven three-year track record and elite technical skills. Smith recorded a career-best 84.6% success rate versus zone coverage (90th percentile in Reception Perception history) and maintains elite success rates against man (76%), zone (85%), and press (77.6%) coverage. Harmon notes Smith is locked in as the primary X receiver, where he will utilize his versatility (93% success rate on out routes, 85% on digs, 79% on posts) to thrive in the team's evolving offensive scheme. While minor limitations exist regarding top-end speed on nine routes and YAC, Harmon views him as an elite technician ready for a lead receiver role.

Preferred middle-round wide receiver target
DeVonta Smith is a preferred wide receiver target in the middle rounds (4-6), where the source believes players can provide value comparable to earlier picks.
Smith's hamstring injury sidelined him most of camp but pre-injury form was excellent.
The source reports that Smith missed most of training camp with a hamstring injury but looked good as ever prior to getting hurt. Zero concerns are expressed about him long-term, though his absence has opened up opportunities for other receivers in camp.
Smith is Eagles' top receiver on depth chart.
DeVonta Smith is the clear top receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, ahead of all other receivers on the depth chart.
Robinson outscored Smith in PPR last season despite Nabers' injury boost.
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.
Smith's 4 TDs on 113 targets with departed star teammate supports top-10 upside.
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.
Smith's minor hamstring unlikely to linger; data favors no in-season impact.
Dr. Deepak Chona notes Smith suffered a hamstring injury that is reportedly minor. If it does not linger into preseason, Chona's data favors no in-season impact.
DeVonta Smith poised for career year in WR1 role
DeVonta Smith is viewed as a strong candidate for a career year, with the source highlighting the appeal of him stepping into the WR1 role in Philadelphia.

Fringe backend WR1 with elite efficiency metrics
DeVonta Smith is a significant value on Sleeper as a fourth-round pick. In a 187-route sample without A.J. Brown, Smith performed as a top-tier receiver (WR8 in yards per route run, WR6 in targets per route run, WR4 in expected fantasy points per route run). Ron Stewart projects him as a fringe backend WR1 who will be the top dog in the Eagles' offense.
Smith was part of Eagles' underperforming 2025 offense that ranked 19th in PPG.
