1. DeVonta Smith will finish as a top-5 fantasy WR — Fantasy Life’s Matthew Berry
Since 2023, when A.J. Brown has been off the field for the Eagles, Smith has been targeted on 29% of his routes. And in 43 career games with at least a 25% target share, Smith is averaging 17.3 fantasy PPG (for reference, only Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba averaged more PPG than that last season). Smith is sure to see plenty of looks this year as he steps into Philly’s WR1 role, which is perfect for a guy who has averaged an elite 8.5 yards per target in every season of his career.
