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 Ladd McConkey
Set for a Major Bounce-Back Campaign as the Chargers' Go-To Slot Option
Operating as the primary slot option for Justin Herbert, third-year receiver Ladd McConkey is primed for a major bounce-back campaign. He anchors a restructured pass-catching group, sitting atop the slot depth chart. After a slight sophomore slump of 789 yards in 2025, our models project a return to form for the talented wideout.
McConkey dealt with a minor hamstring strain during spring workouts, but he returned to individual drills during minicamp. The coaching staff expressed little long-term concern, and he is expected to be a full participant when training camp opens, keeping his summer momentum firmly on track.
Draft managers remain highly optimistic, pushing his PPR ADP from 45 in early June up to a stable 40.0 throughout July. With our projections forecasting 75 receptions for 1,009 yards and six touchdowns on 115 targets, he represents an outstanding value at his current mid-round draft cost.
