DeVonta Smith Quiet In Win Over Washington
1 month agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught four of six targets for 29 yards during the team's 26-18 win over the Washington Commanders on Thursday night. The former Heisman winner had his second straight game with fewer than 30 receiving yards as the Eagles dominated the Commanders with their rushing attack. No receiver for Philadelphia had a particularly great fantasy performance Thursday, but this is a run-first offense that limits passing to keep turnovers at a minimum, and it has led to six straight wins. Because of the massive upside Smith carries, managers need to continue to fire him up, but they also need to understand that with tight end Dallas Goedert healthy and all of the other weapons on the field, there are going to be dry spells for the 26-year-old receiver. He will be a WR2 after the Eagles mini-bye week in Week 12 against the LA Rams.
