DeVonta Smith's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (ankle) was a full participant in practice for the second straight day on Friday. Smith hasn't had any restrictions during practice yet this week and looks primed to play on Monday night in the wild-card playoff contest versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after sitting out the Week 18 loss to the New York Giants. The 25-year-old sprained his right ankle in Week 17 but appears to be fully ready to go for wild-card weekend, where he could operate as quarterback Jalen Hurts' (finger) top wideout if A.J. Brown (knee) is limited or sidelined altogether. There are some questions as to how well Hurts will play a week after dislocating the middle finger on his right throwing hand, but fantasy managers would be more comfortable ignoring that with Smith in their DFS lineups if Brown is unable to play. Smith had his second straight 1,000-yard season with seven touchdowns during the regular season.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (ankle) was present for the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. Smith sprained his right ankle in Week 17 and was held out of the Week 18 regular season finale against the New York Giants. Now that Smith is back at practice, he plans to play in Monday night's wild-card playoff showdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 25-year-old could have a bigger role upon his return as well, depending on the status of fellow wideout A.J. Brown (knee), who suffered a knee injury last Sunday and didn't practice on Thursday. Smith had his second straight 1,000-yard season in just his third year in the NFL, catching 81 passes and scoring seven touchdowns for the second straight season. If Brown is out or limited for wild-card weekend, Smith will become quarterback Jalen Hurts' (finger) top target. UPDATE: Smith was a full-go in Thursday's practice.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for the Week 18 matchup against the New York Giants. Smith hasn't been able to practice at all this week due to a lingering ankle injury. The Eagles have secured a playoff spot, but could still win the division with a victory and the Cowboys losing to the Commanders. That seems unlikely, so the Eagles are going to play it safe and rest Smith. Julio Jones figures to have an increased role without Smith available. He could be worth a look as a possible dart throw in DFS contests.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (ankle) didn't take part in the team's walkthrough on Wednesday and is not practicing on Thursday, either. Smith sprained his right ankle in the Week 17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and is in jeopardy of being rested for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the New York Giants. The most likely scenario is that the 25-year-old is rested for a likely wild-card matchup in the first round of the postseason next week for the Eagles. The 25-year-old was on crutches and in a walking boot after Sunday's game, which obviously doesn't bode well for his chances of playing this weekend. If Smith is ruled out, receivers Julio Jones, Quez Watkins and Olamide Zaccheaus could have much bigger roles as the Eagles play out the string of the regular season.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (ankle) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice estimation. Smith injured his right foot in the Week 17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday and was seen in a walking boot while using crutches after the game. The Eagles still have a chance to win the NFC East in Week 18, but they'll need a win over the New York Giants and for the Dallas Cowboys to lose to the Washington Commanders. The primary concern for Philadelphia, a team already playoff bound, is that Smith can get healthy for the wild-card round next week. Fantasy managers should consider it likely that Smith doesn't play this Sunday versus the Giants. There's a chance Philly could rest other offensive starters as well, which would give receivers Quez Watkins, Julio Jones and Olamide Zaccheaus more playing time.
