DeVonta Smith might have been replaced as the top target in Philadelphia, but he proved that he can still be monster fantasy producer as the "1B" in the high-powered Philadelphia offense.
Smith, like Brown, benefits from the Eagles' pass-heavy offense. He's a great route runner and has excellent hands, which makes him a valuable target for Jalen Hurts. However, one of his weaknesses is that he's not a big-play threat like A.J. Brown. He doesn't break a lot of long touchdowns or have many long receptions. His yards per reception ranked just inside the top 50 among wide receivers in 2022 and his aDOT was outside the top 60 at the position.
His fantasy value is solid, but he's more of a high-floor player than a high-ceiling player. While that makes him a bit less exciting as a fantasy option than Brown, he can still be valuable given that he's being selected alongside other players like Tee Higgins, DK Metcalf, and Deebo Samuel who are not necessarily the locked-in top targets in their own respective offenses. If Smith falls to you at around his ADP or preferably a bit below it, he's a solid pick, but don't take him too early. He'll get you consistent points, but he's not likely to be someone who's going to win you your league.
