Target-heavy WR1 on the sideline for now
Out, hamstring.
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR20 last season at 11.9 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR12 at 16.2 PPR points per game, against 11.9 over 17 games last season (WR20). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 11th of 142 in target volume (24.4% target share), 20th of 142 in downfield role (30.2% air-yards share) and 23rd of 142 in efficiency (2.11 yards per route run). His points come from his target volume. Jalen Hurts is his quarterback.
He's out, hamstring. Until he's back, his value is a bench spot at most, and Darius Cooper takes his snaps.

Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Even sharing the field, Smith just posted a WR16 line: 1,008 yards on 77 grabs across all 17 games, a 24.4% target share, and 0.49 EPA per play on a 54% success rate. His 2.11 yards per route run and 0.577 WOPR confirm he was already operating as a true volume hub, not a complementary piece. The only thing capping his ceiling was four touchdowns on 11 red-zone looks, a number begging to climb.
Now the depth chart belongs to him. With A.J. Brown out of the building, Smith inherits the No. 1 chair and the target vacuum that comes with it, having flashed a 32.9% share in past samples without Brown. A rookie addition trims some upside, but a scheme built around his after-the-catch chops plus regression in the scoring column point toward career-best volume. Draft him as a high-floor WR2 with legitimate WR1 paths.
What Drives His Outlook

DeVonta Smith Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is DeVonta Smith's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
DeVonta Smith projects as a target-heavy WR1 on the sideline for now for the rest of the 2026 season: a bench stash in 12-team PPR, 10-team PPR and half-PPR leagues. His target volume (24.4% target share, 11th of 142 WRs in 2025) supports that. See his live rank in Redraft Command.

DeVonta Smith is the WR12 in PPR points per game through Week 4. That puts him in WR1 territory, a bench stash in 10-team PPR leagues.
What is DeVonta Smith's projected role going forward?
DeVonta Smith is the listed starting WR, with Darius Cooper next on the depth chart. He is out, hamstring for now, which puts that role on hold.
Will DeVonta Smith get more targets?
DeVonta Smith's targets are trending up: 10.5 a game over his last two games against 9.0 for the season. His share of the offense is what his fantasy value rides on.
What is DeVonta Smith's fantasy football upside?
DeVonta Smith's upside: his ceiling this season is 27.7 PPR points (Week 2, WR5) and his target volume (24.4% target share, 11th of 142 WRs in 2025) gives him a weekly floor to build on.

If Smith Misses Time
Next man up: Darius Cooper
Darius Cooper is next on the Eagles depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Smith misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Jalen Hurts would lose one of his main options.
Injury History at a Glance
Seven logged injuries in six seasons. Most of his lost time came from a hamstring injury in 2024; nothing else has cost him more than 1 game.
