Hauls in TD in Saturday's loss
WRPhiladelphia Eagles
August 16, 2025
Smith caught both his targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 22-13 preseason loss to the Browns.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 fifth-round pick connected with rookie QB Kyle McCord for a nine-yard score late in the second quarter, the Eagles' final points of the afternoon. Smith is in a dogfight with Terrace Marshall and Darius Cooper for the final one or two spots on the wideout depth chart, but it's not a role likely to have much fantasy value in an offense where touches are dominated by Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Smith was selected by the Eagles in the fifth round (152nd overall) of the 2024 Draft out of Texas A&M. The 5-9, 190-pound wideout is a talented slot playmaker, highlighted by his 857 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns (six receiving, four rushing) in 10 games as a sophomore back in 2020. His 2022 season was cut short by a broken leg after four games, and he was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his shin at the NFL Combine this spring. If his legs hold up, Smith will compete with Parris Campbell to be the third wideout in Philadelphia, where A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are unlikely to cede many targets.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Stock down after preseason opener
WRPhiladelphia Eagles
August 10, 2024
In his breakdown of the Eagles' 16-13 preseason win over the Ravens on Friday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic relays that Smith's stock dropped following his performance as a punt returner.
ANALYSIS
Smith accumulated just 13 yards on three punt returns Friday, and he lost a fumble during one of those returns, which took a fortuitous bounce out of bounds. He was far less efficient in his returns than fellow wide receiver Britain Covey, which lowers Smith's chance of making the final 53-man roster unless he bounces back over the final two preseason games. Smith is also competing with Covey, Jacob Harris and John Ross for a depth spot on the Eagles' depth chart.
