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 Emeka Egbuka

Emeka Egbuka at Cincinnati — Primed for High-Scoring Opener After Practicing Fully

After battling a lingering toe sprain throughout August, Egbuka practiced in full on Wednesday and enters Week 1 with no major limitations. Operating as a starting outside receiver opposite Chris Godwin Jr. in Tampa Bay's offense, he is set to assume an expanded role in his second season catching passes from Baker Mayfield.

Rostered in all leagues and started in over 90% of lineups, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats. This road clash in Cincinnati features high-scoring potential, and our projections expect Egbuka to see nearly eight targets for 60 receiving yards, offering both a dependable floor and touchdown upside.
