Outlook Juwan Johnson

Late-Round Tight End Value with Proven Top-Tier Volume Potential

Coming off a career-best 2025 campaign where he commanded 109 targets and posted 935 receiving yards, Juwan Johnson enters the season as the clear top tight end on the depth chart. While Noah Fant lurks as the primary backup, Johnson's proven chemistry and versatility should keep him heavily involved in the passing game alongside Chris Olave.

Our models project Johnson for 62 receptions, 681 yards, and four touchdowns, equating to 150.0 fantasy points in PPR formats. This projection aligns with his stable ownership of around 70%, proving that fantasy managers still value his reliable floor even if they aren't starting him every single week.

Draft market trends show Johnson's ADP has remained remarkably stable around pick 126, briefly spiking in early June before settling back down. At this late-round draft cost, our projections view him as an absolute steal in PPR formats, offering a proven high-volume profile that is rarely available this late in drafts.

Outlook DeVonta Smith

Ready for a True WR1 Breakout in a Revamped Passing Game

DeVonta Smith enters the season primed for a true lead-receiver role in Philadelphia following the departure of A.J. Brown. Our models project Smith for a team-high 120 targets, translating to 83 receptions, 1,079 yards, and six touchdowns. After making franchise history with five straight 800-yard campaigns, the 27-year-old is poised to smash his previous ceiling as the undisputed centerpiece of the Eagles' aerial attack.

Looking at the depth chart, Smith headlines a receiver room featuring rookie Makai Lemon, Dontayvion Wicks, and Hollywood Brown. His strong rapport with Jalen Hurts is already on display in spring sessions. Fantasy managers are recognizing this massive opportunity, reflected in his robust 81% starting rate. Operating as a locked-in starter, his targets are highly secure.

In draft lobbies, Smith's ADP has settled comfortably in the mid-40s, making him a prime fourth-round target. This represents phenomenal value in full-PPR formats where we project him to easily outperform his draft cost as a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside.
