DeVontaSmith

News: 2 days agoSmith (hamstring), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, is viewed "at very best, questionable" for the Eagles' Week 5 game versus the Jaguars in London, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Spin: After he was unable to practice in any fashion during Week 4 while tending to the hamstring injury, Smith looks like he could be in store for a multi-game absence. The Eagles will likely wait and see how Smith fares in practice during the upcoming week before deciding whether he'll make the trip to London. While they are without Smith's services for at least the matchup with the Rams, the Eagles will look to get by with Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper and Elijah Moore as their main options at receiver.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: It's generally tough for a former Heisman Trophy winner and first-round draft pick to fly under the radar, but that has been the case for Smith in recent years. With all eyes on A.J. Brown, Smith has finished no lower than 30th among receivers in fantasy PPG in each of his five seasons (top 30 in PPG each of the last four). The "slim reaper" saw a big dip in touchdowns last season (four, after at least seven the prior three seasons), but remained very efficient (career 9.1 yards per target and 2.1 yards per route run). Smith has handled roughly one-quarter of the Eagles' targets throughout his career, and that may rise slightly after Brown was traded to New England. Smith, 27, is the Eagles' No. 1 receiver for the first time as a non-rookie and is well positioned for a strong WR2 campaign.
