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.

A.J. Brown out for Wildcard Weekend Could play in Divisional Round if Eagles win By: Mike Krueger | Sat Jan 13, 10:08 am
| | #Eagles WR A.J. Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Monday night’s playoff game at the Bucs, an NFL source confirmed.
Brown had yet to practice this week because of a knee sprain he suffered in the season finale. If the Eagles advance there’s a chance he could play in the divisional round. (Jeff McLane on X)
FFToday's Take: Brown went down with a knee injury in Week 18 and will this week's game against the Buccaneers. The Eagles have been on a downward spiral the last few weeks, losing five out of their last six games and QB Jalen Hurts dislocated a finger on his throwing hand. Expect Julio Jones to see more snaps with Brown out. DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert should be the two highest targeted players for Philadelphia on Monday.
