DeVonta Smith vs Carolina: Volatile Flex Outlook With Backup Quarterback Under Center
Smith enters Sunday listed as questionable after upgrading to a limited practice while managing hamstring and toe injuries. There is optimism Philadelphia's top receiver will suit up, but the offense faces major hurdles with starting quarterback Jalen Hurts ruled out, thrusting backup Tanner McKee into the starting role.
If active, Smith profiles as a risky flex option rather than a dependable starter. Our weekly projection lands at 6.2 fantasy points on nearly seven targets in what profiles as a low-scoring game. With McKee under center and Smith potentially playing at less than full health, fantasy managers should check pregame status closely before starting him.

Darius Cooper vs. Panthers — Touchdown Surge Meets Quarterback Uncertainty
Cooper has emerged as a remarkable touchdown machine for Philadelphia, finding the end zone four times across his last three games, highlighted by a 62-yard score in London. With injuries mounting across the receiver room, including Dontayvion Wicks missing practice, Cooper continues to carve out meaningful offensive snaps.
However, with starting quarterback Jalen Hurts ruled out due to a calf injury, backup Tanner McKee takes over in what projects to be a low-scoring matchup. Our models project Cooper for approximately 2.3 catches and 30 yards (6.8 fantasy points). His production remains heavily reliant on big plays and touchdowns, making him a volatile, boom-or-bust option.
