Outlook DeVonta Smith
DeVonta Smith vs. Panthers — Cleared to Play as Philadelphia's Primary Target
DeVonta Smith was completely cleared from the injury report and will return to action against the Panthers after nursing a hamstring injury. With quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley both ruled out, Tanner McKee steps in under center, positioning Smith as the clear lead weapon in the passing attack.
While Smith is slated for heavy volume, backup quarterback play and a low 39-point game total keep his ceiling grounded. Our projections forecast roughly 7 targets and 29 yards (6.2 fantasy points). Having rebounded to a 48% start rate across fantasy leagues, he profiles as a matchup-dependent Flex option rather than an automatic starter.

Efton Chism vs. NYJ — Expanded Role Offers Deep-League Intrigue
Chism has seen his role steadily expand following his game-winning touchdown against Buffalo, backed by head coach Mike Vrabel stating he has earned more playing time. With teammate Mack Hollins landing on injured reserve, Chism capitalized by drawing 10 targets and securing seven receptions across his past two outings.
Even with his roster rate climbing to seven percent, Chism remains primarily a stash or deep-league streamer. With New England favored by a touchdown in a modest scoring environment against the Jets, our models project him for around 5.2 fantasy points on roughly three targets, leaving him reliant on sustained red-zone efficiency.
