DeVonta Smith

Philadelphia used its offseason to rebuild WR depth around Smith — drafting Makai Lemon in Round 1, trading for Dontayvion Wicks, and re-signing Marquise Brown — so even as the clear WR1, Smith's target-share ceiling could be capped by more mouths to feed than a typical post-trade vacuum would suggest.

Saquon Barkley's workhorse role and Hurts' run-first tendencies keep Philadelphia's overall pass volume on the lower end league-wide, which limits how much of the newly available target share actually funnels to the passing game.

At 27, Smith is still in a WR's prime but is entering the back half of his peak window; his current price assumes several more years at this workload before any decline sets in.

The Eagles traded A.J. Brown to New England in June 2026, handing Smith the unquestioned WR1 job in Philadelphia's passing attack for the first time in his career and removing his only real target competition.

Smith already posted a 27% target share and 0.64 WOPR as the WR2 in 2025, and flashed true alpha usage with a 32% target share in the Wild Card win; with Brown gone, that volume projects to climb further behind Hurts.

Smith has missed zero games over the past two seasons and carries no lingering injury concerns entering 2026, supporting a high floor on weekly availability.
