DeVonta Smith Rested While Managing Back Issue
14 seconds agoPhiladelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (back) was rested in the first practice of the week on Wednesday while managing a back injury. Smith missed Weeks 12 and 13 due to a hamstring injury, but now he's managing a minor back injury that shouldn't put him in danger of missing Week 16 against the division-rival Washington Commanders. In two games since Smith returned from his hamstring injury, he's found the end zone twice and has caught 15 of 18 targets for 146 yards. The 26-year-old went off for 11 catches on 12 targets for 109 yards and a score in last week's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was the first time he had gone over seven targets since Week 3, but Philly could emphasize their passing attack down the stretch heading into a positive matchup against Washington. Smith will be on the WR2/3 borderline in Week 16 in fantasy.
