DeVonta Smith (hammy) out again Thursday
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Eagles WR1 Smith is expected to play as a high-end WR2 this weekend against the Rams despite a hamstring injury that limited his practice participation earlier in the week.
- Smith has been the clear top receiving option for the Eagles following offseason changes and injuries to key teammates, showing strong performances including a 10-catch game and a critical touchdown catch.
- His production dipped in the second half of a recent game due to the Eagles’ offensive struggles, but he remains a focal point in the passing game with upside potential moving forward.
- Smith’s hamstring injury is being closely monitored, with practice participation increasing from limited to full, though his status remains somewhat uncertain ahead of the Week 4 matchup.
- If Smith cannot play, rookie Dontayvion Wicks is expected to assume WR1 duties, but Smith’s return is a positive sign for the Eagles’ offense and fantasy managers targeting him as a WR2 option.
