Outlook DeVonta Smith
Poised for a Massive Leap as Philadelphia's Undisputed WR1
With the departure of A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith enters the season as Philadelphia's undisputed lead target. Our data projects Smith for a substantial workload, pacing an Eagles receiving corps that features Dontayvion Wicks and rookie Makai Lemon. Operating as Jalen Hurts' go-to option, he is primed to exceed his previous career benchmarks.
Our models project Smith to excel with 82 receptions, 1,084 yards, and six touchdowns on 122 targets. Having posted four seasons of at least 900 receiving yards already in his five-year career, his high-volume consistency provides a remarkably secure floor alongside a newly elevated ceiling in this revamped passing offense.
Fantasy managers are noticing this elite opportunity, driving his 1.0 PPR ADP up from 46 in early June to 38. Even with this climbing draft cost, our projections view him as an exceptional value, giving managers a low-risk WR1 profile at a reasonable WR2 price tag.

Outlook Romeo Doubs
Underrated Slot Role in New England Offers Major Value at Current Draft Price
After transitioning from Green Bay, Romeo Doubs enters his first season with the Patriots as a primary weapon in the passing game. Operating as the team's top slot option alongside newcomer A.J. Brown, Doubs is positioned to build quick chemistry with young quarterback Drake Maye. Our projections expect him to maintain a stable role, commanding 91 targets.
Draft market trends show Doubs' ADP has steadily climbed from 118 in early June to a stable 110 as fantasy managers recognize his secure slot volume. At this current price point in PPR formats, he represents a major draft-day steal. We project Doubs to secure 57 receptions for 758 yards and six touchdowns, easily outperforming his draft cost.
While the arrival of Brown will command defensive attention, Doubs should find ample space across the middle of the field. His high rostership rate of 80% shows managers are eager to stash him, though his active starting rate remains low at 23%. He profiles as an excellent depth option with weekly WR3/Flex appeal.
