2024 Fantasy Outlook
Things have mostly gone as expected for Smith since the Eagles took him 10th overall in 2021, though he started 2023 slow with averages of 54.7 yards and 7.7 YPT over his first seven games. He then averaged 75.9 yards and 11.0 YPT over the next nine games (with a 79 percent catch rate) and exploded for 148 yards in an opening-round playoff loss that A.J. Brown missed with a knee injury. The most discouraging development wasn't Smith's early season pseudo-slump, nor the Eagles' late-season collapse -- it was his target share dropping from 27.0 percent in 2022 down to 22.9 percent in 2023 (active games only). Brown's share went up just a tick (28.6 to 29.8), while the RBs' portion skyrocketed from 12.1 percent to 17.8. Smith nonetheless posted a solid receiving line (81-1.066-7 on 112 targets), fueled by career highs for catch rate (72.3) and YPT (9.5), though in fantasy terms it was a step back from his 95-1,196-7 line in 2022. While history suggests new Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore will keep RBs involved in the passing game, Moore's offenses also have tended to be WR-friendly, with highlights including a trio of 100-target receivers for the 2020 Cowboys and Keenan Allen producing a career-high 95.6 yards per game last year in Los Angeles. Even if Smith doesn't rebound to (or surpass) his 2022 production, the combination of age (25), talent and QB familiarity makes him one of the safer picks among players commonly taken in the third/fourth round of fantasy drafts.

Leading receiver in wild-card win
Smith caught all four of his targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card round win over the Packers.
ANALYSIS
The Eagles' passing game had a fairly quiet afternoon and Smith led the team in receiving yards, although he wasn't on the other end of either of Jalen Hurts' TD passes. The fourth-year wideout has caught at least four passes in six straight appearances dating back to Week 11, posting a 35-401-4 line on 43 targets over that stretch, giving Smith plenty of momentum heading into the divisional round.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
GM Howie Roseman hit the nail on the head when he traded up for the 10th overall pick to take Smith in the 2021 draft. While results have been mixed on slim wideouts with hefty college production in recent years, the 170-pounder out of Alabama has proven himself capable of beating press coverage, making contested catches and even throwing blocks to help Philadelphia's prolific running game. On top of that, Smith finished last year with only eight fewer targets than uber-talented teammate A.J. Brown, with both wideouts cruising past 1,000 yards in an offense led by a dominant offensive line and a breakout star at quarterback in Jalen Hurts. Smith's aDOT dropped from 13.9 as a rookie to 9.6 last year with Brown taking over more of the deep looks, but his YPT held steady at 8.8 thanks to a 69.9 percent catch rate. Smith now enters his third NFL season right in the conversation with Jaylen Waddle and Tee Higgins to be considered the best No. 2 WR in the league.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
To have Pickett at QB vs. Cowboys
Smith will operate with Kenny Pickett as his quarterback in Week 17 against the Cowboys due to Jalen Hurts having been ruled out with a concussion, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith, who has a significant downfield role, naturally loses upside with Hurts' rocket arm unavailable. Pickett doesn't come close to measuring up to his fellow signal-caller in that regard, but Smith did bring in five of seven targets for 40 yards from Pickett after the latter took over for Hurts in the first quarter of the Week 16 loss to the Commanders.
