Outlook DeVonta Smith

Cleared for Week 1 and Poised to Anchor Eagles Passing Game

After being slowed by a hamstring issue during training camp, DeVonta Smith was omitted from the final Week 1 injury report and enters the opener fully cleared. Recently named a team captain, Smith is positioned as Jalen Hurts' clear top perimeter target leading an evolved receiver corps alongside Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon.

Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into lineups across all formats, reflected in his near-universal 99% start rate. Our weekly projection forecasts a strong outing with 5.4 receptions for 72 yards and 0.4 touchdowns on eight targets, offering an exceptionally dependable floor and clear WR1 upside.

Outlook Ladd McConkey

Ladd McConkey vs. Cardinals — Prime Target Volume in Favorable Home Opener

Fully past his summer hamstring strain, McConkey enters Week 1 completely healthy as the starting slot receiver and an anchor in Justin Herbert's passing game. Working alongside perimeter targets Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris, McConkey commands high-percentage routes over the middle that ensure a steady weekly floor.

In a favorable home scoring environment against Arizona, our projections expect him to see about 8 targets, producing roughly 5 catches for 63 yards and 15.1 fantasy points. Starting in 95% of leagues, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into lineups across all formats as a high-end WR2.
